Discussion Post: Advertising Messages and Marketing Communication
Initial Postings: Read and reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Then post what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding in each assigned textbook chapter.
Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook should be a source listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion.
Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:
• Rip up your favorite magazine, and classify any 5 ads according to whether you think they're aiming to achieve a cognitive, emotional, or behavioral goal. Which ad do you like the most? Did any stimulate you to learn more about the brand?
• Imagine you were designing an ad for a (choose one): car, laptop, health clinic. What would your ad look like if you were targeting: i) old people, ii) kids, iii) super rich people, iv) What celebrity would you have endorse your brand? Why?
The response should include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
