Identify as many commonalities as possible across its various ad campaigns. How is this campaign consistent with PepsiCo’s brand image? According to our case study campaign advertisement strategy very good in the social media and in the social network ,because at the advertisement PepsiCo use spokesperson which people have popularity. Campaign slogans for the every years explain brand well and attract people. And also campaign projects for ex: “Pepsi Refresh “ make opinion in the people mind that what we drink and spend, in the same time it return to us with other way. And even some of the earlier slogans have the commonality that you get more bangs for your buck that when you buy Pepsi you get more of flavor, amount and whatever than the competition offers. Pepsi is for everyone and that Pepsi alone can refresh or change the world. Many slogans have to deal with being young as well as being in the future.

...components of marketing communications, addressing challenges of integrated messaging. I will focus on a smaller component of the Air Force that specifically targets a different market. I will assess how the Air Force Reserve has integrated and unified their marketing materials. The Air Force Reserve is a separate command within the total force structure of the Department of the Air Force. The Air Force Reserve adds the additional strength of nearly 75,000 personnel to the active duty Air Force strength of 365,000. I choose to explore this section of the Air Force since the Air Force Reserve is a smaller, more specialized entity. Just as the active duty Air Force has the slogan “Step into the Blue”, the Air Force Reserve also has etched out a slogan of their own, “Above & Beyond.” The Air Force Reserve recruiters are searching for a smaller share of the market than their active duty counterparts. The Air Force Reserve is primarily searching for individuals who have previously served on active duty and who want to continue their military commitment part time. However, the Air Force Reserve has a smaller pool of applicants to work with, thus, making the recruiters job a little leaner. Therefore, the Air Force decided to tackle the problem head on. The Air Force consolidated several existing organizations into a combined communications doctorate (Higgs). The new doctorate integrates the functions of public affairs and integrated marketing and will be responsible...

...strides in the form of the Internet many wannabe entrepreneurs took the plunge. They realized that if they had a good idea, it would not be long before it could be brought to market. They did not have the budgets for above the line advertising. They had to resort to guerilla marketing techniques to get the message across to the target audience. They had to try out various tactics to get word-of-mouth promotion going. Viral marketing came into being. When all this was happening, marketers decided to draw a line between different advertising mediums. One part was called “above the line” while the other was called “below the line.” In organizational business and marketing communications, Below the Line (BTL) is an advertising technique. It uses less conventional methods than the usual specific channels of advertising to promote products, services, etc. than Above the Line (ATL) strategies. These may include activities such as direct mail, public relations and sales promotions for which a fee is agreed upon and charged up front. Above the line is a type of advertising through media such as TV, cinema, radio, print, banners and search engines. Below the line advertising typically focuses on direct means of communication, most commonly direct mail and e-mail, often using highly targeted lists of names to maximize response rates. In addition, Above the Line is much more effective, when the target...

Sometime it can be helpful, however, most of them are harmful to the people. In this essay, I will analyze some of the problems of advertisement. Problem one: distraction from important information. One reason that TV advertisements are bad for your brain is that their subject matter is almost always trivial and unimportant. On rare occasions, and add might actually contain useful information, but generally it is merely a distraction. Advertising is bad if it makes you focus on something trivial when you could be focusing on something important. The cynical advertising companies that turnout low end advertising are aware of the problem, and do everything in their power to make trivial things seem important to viewers. It should be comical when we see actors in a TV commercial acting like it matters what kind of toothpaste someone uses, but at some level your mind accepts such impossibilities as legitimate when they're presented frequently. At a minimum, such banal advertising consumes our conscious minds focus when it could be focusing on something that matters. Problem two: appeal to your mind's basest motives. Cynical advertising companies use sexually provocative ads to sell everything from lingerie to hamburgers. These ads are bad for your brain because they appeal to your minds least worthy...

...Kroger Mobile Application Kroger grocery began over 130 years ago in 1883 in Cincinnati by a man named Barney Kroger. He built his business on the motto: “Be particular. Never sell anything you would not want yourself” (“History of Kroger”, 2014). Kroger has delivered a wide variety of items for its customers since day one. These items include baked goods, a pharmacy, deli, home décor and an assortment of other goods. In the recent years Kroger has launched a mobile application for its customers. The launch has enabled Kroger to provide an even more personalized approach to shopping in its stores. Mobile Application Features As of 2012, 87 percent of the world’s population was using mobile phones (Turban, Volonino, & Wood, 2012, p. 195). Every year that number greatly increases. Therefore, it is obvious why Kroger made the decision to capitalize on the mobile opportunity. The company’s CEO, David Dillon, had reported that since the birth of the Kroger app three years ago, it had been downloaded more than two million times (Monk, 2013). The company integrated the store customer loyalty program into the application; along with making the switch to digital coupons. Every week, as new manufacturer coupons are released in the paper or online, the Kroger mobile app is updated as well. There is no need for the customers to clip coupons in the newspaper anymore. The consumer can open his or her mobile app and locate the coupon by category or name. Once the coupon is selected, it...

...4. How does TV advertising campaign initiated by IKEA overcome the entry barrier of high advertising expenditures? When IKEA first entered into the North America, moose symbol was welcomed by Canadian, it is still too provincial and against the life image in the United States. On the other hand, the disadvantage of IKEA store location that is relatively far away from the center of city made IKEA less spotted by customers either. To adjust and make IKEA be more aware, IKEA decided to collaborate with Deutsch Inc., who launched a clean symbol with the traditional Sweden flag color yellow and blue and a strong slogan: “It’s a big country. Someone’s got to furnish it” which follows IKEA’s humorous. Later on, a serial of eight TV advertising was developed by Deutsch and IKEA highlighted the different categories of the customers who are mostly likely to be the potential customers. They were keen to capture the transitional stages in people’s life and they even appealed interests to gay couple life style while TV advertising normally would avoid bringing homosexual topics publicly in 1994. This adventurous step was considered as a breakthrough by some gay leaders and also made IKEA quite distinctive than the other domestic competitors. These eight TV advertisings successfully found the new ways to communicate with audiences and affected their perceptions that IKEA care about the different ages, genders and areas of customers’ needs, desires, satisfactions and preferences.

...tests Dove’s viral movie ‘Evolution’ and confirms that measuring indirect exposure as well consumer actions undertaken after ad exposure provides advertisers with new and useful insights. 3 Introduction The consumer 2.0 the cocktail party goes digital Today’s empowered 2.0 consumer is very well informed, strongly connected with peers (and millions of surfers in general), has the ability to unify with them & share ideas but also has the tools to create proper content beyond control of marketers. This consumer is more sceptical, questions many things and uses intelligent ways to see through the facade of marketing actions (Jaffe, 2005). With the rise of this “new” consumer a recent trend in marketing called “word of mouse” (WoMo) has emerged. Verhaeghe et al. (2007) defined word of mouse as “the act of a consumer receiving, creating and/or distributing marketing-relevant content through online channels (both textual and audio-visual)”. WoMo is part of “buzz” defined as the act of consumers providing...

...Petrie's Electronics Case, Chapter 5, Questions 1, 3, and 5. 1. What do you think are the sources of the information Jim and his team collected? How do you think they collected all of that information? Jim collected informations by having interviews inside the company with stakeholders. He also worked with the marketing department to get some information from loyal customers. Jim and his team gathered some information about the current system. 3. If you were looking for alternative approaches for Petrie’s customer loyalty program, where would you look for information? Where would you start? How would you know when you were done? An alternative approach could be researching many different sources. If it were me I would do my research through the internet and compare what I find to the current system used by the customers. I guess the obvious reason to know when you are done is because you can’t find or come up with any new information about the loyalty systems. 5. Why shouldn’t Petrie’s staff build their own unique system in-house? I think it would cost much more and will be much more time consuming. The better thing to do is use an outsource instead of building in-house, that way they are saving money and getting what they want a lot faster.

...selecting this demographic, Hasbro further segmented it by targeting boys in between 8 to 12 years of age. This age group has a strong dependence on opinion leaders, is widely influenced by others and place an importance on brand names and trends. While it was estimated that this group spends $14 billion per year, there is still a significant portion of that money that comes from “toy givers” - which typically respond better to traditional marketing efforts; TV commercials Radio Ads Print Ads Catalogs Direct Mail Promotional tools (price packs, prizes, tie-in promotions) The actual target market of tweens will respond better to viral marketing efforts; WOM (Word of Mouth) BUZZ marketing ''key influencers'' Exclusivity/Popularity/Social influence Negotiate product placement in store and weekly advertisement through; Discount off-list price Display or advertising allowance Free product with large order (12 free games with every 500 purchased) The risk companies take with viral marketing is that consumers do not share their experience or the experience is negative. Both instances result in a failure to create “buzz” and will cause sales to remain flat or decline. If Hasbro utilizes a hybrid approach, they will have an opportunity to generate sales through the traditional tactics if the non-traditional campaign is not successful. Next Steps Manufacturers must focus more on creating high-value, multimedia strategies...

Old Spice is a perfect example of this. The “Smell like a Man, Man” campaign, featuring the handsome “Old Spice Guy” (former NFL wide receiver Isaiah Mustafa) was launched just prior to the 2010 Superbowl and quickly became a viral video sensation. The ad was one of the most talked about commercials and helped to boost Old Spice sales during a period of intense competitive activity. This campaign wasn’t only about television ads, but involved also social media like Facebook and Twitter, where Old Spice invited customers could submit questions to be answered personally by the Old Spice Guy. Youtube was also in the game, this happened because nearly 200 personalized video responses to the questions were created and posted on YouTube, including those to Ashton Kutcher, Alyssa Milano and ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos, creating new benchmarks for consumer engagement. Old Spice has been singled out as the best practical example of social media marketing. Their campaign taps into the consumer insight that the women are more likely to believe men should spend time and money investing in their appearance, and social media was used to engage consumers in an interactive dialogue with the brand.

...For more than a decade, with the explosion of modern technology, consumers have been approached and overwhelmed with multimedia advertising types and creative elements. This has brought not only a big concern about the effectiveness of traditional TV commercials but also many arguments over the time of TV commercials among many advertisers and marketers around the world. To address this matter, Jeri Smith, president and CEO of advertising research firm Communicus, has recently published an editorial called “Screen Time” in the Marketing Insights. In her piece of writing, she strongly supports the role of traditional TV commercials within an overall integrated advertising campaign which targets mass audiences and clearly points out that TV commercials just need to evolve. In order to convince her target audiences, advertisers and marketers, in her epideictic argument, Jeri analyzes and evaluates the power of TV commercials compared with non – traditional media types. She appeals her audiences by adopting logos with supporting facts and data, making her persuasion even more powerful. Jeri opens her analysis by giving us a thorough background of current marketplace and her key observation on the performance of the traditional TV commercials today: “Interestingly, the traditional TV commercial is still around today, with U.S. marketers spending nearly $80 billion per year on TV advertising.” (para 1). This fact-oriented leading observation followed by more in-depth supporting facts...
