Slide 9 Advertising today is (journal for advertising theory today)

Takes a critical perspective


What is it today and how will it change in the future

Communication Activities do research but the idea is inhouse which then


is distributred through different media.

Messaging is type of psychological model based on how we think


consumers think in the last lecture we look at qualitative and
quantitative

Employ supply chain model when we create a message we assume that


there is value in the product when we sell it , but there is little emphasis
on what consumers actually do with the product it can be a product to
create innovation from if we know how they use it.

Employ media organization tired to message

Slide 10 - Advertising today is

Theories and concept are limited to market place results do not correlate
with the actual results

We keep doing advertising because there is no other better way


companies who advertisie the most

company

consumer

own problems become consultants in a way

Slide 13

- Less emphasis on awareness generating customer prospects


- If you make your brand known to people if you have information
about consumers previous purchase and their habits, with the right
model you can bypass the awareness you can target individuals.
- E.g coke in the UK customized advertising message to Netflix
viewers
- Based on psychology its not the only way with behavioural
- E.g theory of planned behavior consumers need to learn about the
product
o What do the consumers actually purchase
o Identifies ways to target them

Slide 14

What will not change is that you still need to apply theory to understand
to make the decision

Strategy + creatie thinking

Slide 15

Starts with opinion -> justicaition -> marketing advice


- A basic level marketer facts (empirical evidence , trends)
- Is there potential cause outcome relationship
E.g Luxury products online if you look at what we know about luxury
luxury = status
They are in conflict of interest some people have it and some people
dont
Dilemmas you got a lot of followers by reaching out because everyone
has access you have lost value
Rather than using it as selling mechanism , you are creating cheerleading
