Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In my dissertation, I apply emerging big data methodologies to measure the effects of advertising content and detect potential product segments. First, I explore whether advertising messages can change the topics reported in mass media. Specifically, I examine whether Dove's real beauty campaign increased the incidence of real-beauty-related topics in newspapers. Using a topic model, I segment beauty-related topics and identify topics related to real beauty. The number of sentences labeled as real beauty topics increases during the campaign. While the Dove campaign's significant impact on real beauty topics around the time of the campaign holds even in newspapers without Unilever ads, the impact is larger in newspapers containing Unilever ads. Overall, this evidence is consistent with both a mass media's public service role and an advertiser pressure influencing mass media content. In my next study, joint work with Avi Goldfarb and Trevor Snider, I introduce a method for identifying potentially related products using topological data analysis (TDA). From both simulated and real consumer purchase data, I show that "loopy segments" in TDA can connect regionally separated local products through national products, while standard clustering methods such as hierarchical clustering cannot. Lastly, I test whether comparative advertising reposition rival brands closer together. Using Google Trends' aggregate consumer search data, I analyze Samsung's U.S. television comparative advertising campaign against Apple's iPhone. I count co-occurrence of searches for brand pairs (e.g. Samsung Apple) and their brand-product attributes (e.g. Samsung screen, Apple Screen), to respectively map brand and product space. I find that advertised rival brands become closer together in both brand and product spaces but not significant in product space. My results suggest that a lower share brand may benefit from comparative advertising against a market leader by forcing itself to be more considered alongside a market leader when consumers search brands.

Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Product placement has become increasingly common in recent years. This paper analyses the practice of placing brands in films and television programmes from different perspectives. From the marketers point of view the development of product placement as a marketing communication instrument is analysed. It is also shown how filmmakers can use it to add realism to a film and save production costs. Putting the product placement strategy into practice is found to be a complex process. Furthermore, the way of compensation varies from case to case. The analysis of costs per thousand reveals that product placement is a cost-effective marketing communication instrument. This analysis of the marketers and the filmmakers point of view is supported by interviews with marketing departments, product placement agencies and film production companies. On the other hand viewers ethical concerns about product placement are investigated and it is studied how they are included in legal restrictions. The outcome is that there are some areas with no regulations and areas with rules that have limitations. Therefore, recommendations for improvement are made. Also, ways are established how marketers can take viewers concerns into consideration when placing their brand in a film. Finally the effectiveness of product placement in marketing communications is analysed on the basis of academic research. It is found that product placement can be successful in regard to brand recall and recognition and to some extent in regard to brand attitude and purchasing behaviour. However, the effectiveness depends on the type and exposure time of the placement, the kind of film and supporting advertising. Summing up, product placement can be used effectively for marketers and filmmakers, while not having predominantly negative effects on viewers. However, this is only the case when it is planned carefully and a number of aspects are taken into consideration.

Download or read book We Are What We Sell written by Danielle Sarver Coombs and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 970 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last 150 years, advertising has created a consumer culture in the United States, shaping every facet of American life—from what we eat and drink to the clothes we wear and the cars we drive. In the United States, advertising has carved out an essential place in American culture, and advertising messages undoubtedly play a significant role in determining how people interpret the world around them. This three-volume set examines the myriad ways that advertising has influenced many aspects of 20th-century American society, such as popular culture, politics, and the economy. Advertising not only played a critical role in selling goods to an eager public, but it also served to establish the now world-renowned consumer culture of our country and fuel the notion of "the American dream." The collection spotlights the most important advertising campaigns, brands, and companies in American history, from the late 1800s to modern day. Each fact-driven essay provides insight and in-depth analysis that general readers will find fascinating as well as historical details and contextual nuance students and researchers will greatly appreciate. These volumes demonstrate why advertising is absolutely necessary, not only for companies behind the messaging, but also in defining what it means to be an American.

Download or read book A Latina in the Land of Hollywood written by Angharad N. Valdivia and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From ads for Victoria's Secret to the character roles of Rosie Perez, the mass media have been defining race and femininity. In this diverse set of essays, Angharad N. Valdivia breaks theoretical and methodological boundaries by exploring the relationship of the media to various audiences. Throughout A Latina in the Land of Hollywood we are challenged to think differently about the media messages we often unconsciously consume, such as the popular representations of certain Latina cultural icons. Valdivia shows how reporters focus on Guatemalan activist Rigoberta Menchú's big smile, Brazilian media magnate Xuxa's blonde hair, and Puerto Rican actress Rosie Perez's high-pitched voice, never quite creating a comprehensive portrayal of these women. In her discussion of lingerie catalogs, Valdivia uncovers a similarly skewed depiction. The lush, high-class bedrooms of Victoria's Secret differ as much from the earthy, spare world of Frederick's of Hollywood as the types, sizes, and uses of the lingerie that the two companies sell. Valdivia takes a look at family films, arguing that single mothers are almost always portrayed as either trampy floozies or sexless, hapless women, whereas single dads fare much better. Whether examining one teenager's likes and dislikes or considering single parenthood in family films, Valdivia investigates how popular culture has become the arena in which we struggle to know ourselves and to make ourselves known. She calls for scholars to move beyond investigating implicit themes in films and media to studying the ways that audiences of different colors, ages, genders, and sexual preferences might understand or misunderstand such cultural messages. A Latina in the Land of Hollywood aims to explode traditional discussions of media and popular culture. It is a must-read for anyone interested in popular culture, television, and film.

Download or read book The Vaping Controversy written by Laurie Collier Hillstrom and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work provides an evenhanded and authoritative overview of vaping and its impact on American culture and public health, especially among younger Americans. The 21st Century Turning Points series is a one-stop resource for understanding the people and events changing America today. This volume is devoted to the rapid rise of vaping across the nation, especially among young people. This trend has prompted fierce debate in communities across the country, with some people heralding "e-cigarettes" and other vaping devices as valuable smoking cessation tools and others condemning them for being unhealthy in their own right—and a gateway to future cigarette consumption. The Vaping Controversy describes the key events and people that provided the foundation for the rise of e-cigarettes and vaping, from governmental and medical efforts to reduce traditional cigarette smoking to the emergence and rapid spread of an entire industry devoted to selling vaping devices and accessories. This volume also explores how vaping has influenced youth culture and high school life, its impact on "old school" tobacco companies, and the increasingly visible partisan divide in attitudes about the public health impact of vaping.

How does music in commercials relate to music ‘outside’ the universe of commercials? How and what can music in commercials signify?
