Problem:
Select an advertisement to which you have recently been exposed. It can be in any paid communications medium, such as TV, radio, newspaper, or magazine. The ad that you select should be one to which others in the class can easily relate, such as Verizon's "Can you hear me now?" ads or the Aflac ad (with the white duck that squawks "AFFFFLAAAAAAAC!")
Evaluate the ad from a consumer perspective. Why do you feel the ad was created in the first place? What is the MESSAGE that the ad is attempting to communicate? What do you see as this ad's major strengths or weaknesses? Do you think the ad was a success?
