prices for various advertisement placements options which is available from a media
outlet. Rate cards are not much different from rack rates which is in hotels

packs is what helps people know about the specific company from the name or

profile of the audience before anything so that you can then put across message
to the right people in ways it can affect them. This means that people will be
allowed to gain the greatest result and get the most out of audience profiling.

educational qualification, work experience, financial background, interests,
religious background, physique, and health condition. Audience profiling go into
a lot of detail so they know what their dealing with and know more about the
person.

when creating a new product to be promoted onto the market. When defining an
audience the facts that need to be covered are the age, gender, race sexuality
education, occupation annual income disposable income , current lifestyle/
aspirational or what they want in the future.

their position in society.

The mr muscles advert is a very good persuasive advert the reason for this is because it is a realolife advert but it has (Mr muscles) as an animator this is very good because it does engage the audiences attention when they see this. As the advert starts the camera gets close to it so it shows what is being seen and perceived This advert is mainly for everyone who washes dishes but mostly mature men and women the reason this advert is successful is because it shows what happens to the pipes when washing dishes and what can make them very clean because when washing no one sees whats going down in the drain but this adverts it shows how dirty the drain can be and that mr muscle is the best product to get in order to make it very clean. There are no famous faces in the adverts that we know of today because i think the advert just wants to attract viewers to buy it and giving the product a good and in the market and that people can trust it.
A good
example for a Humorous advert is the Heineken commercial as this advert used to
promote their product. This advert shows that men are fond of their beers like wise women are very fond of their clothes which is shows the similarity of both men and female and what they love the most
The reason
this advert has been very successful and creates Humour is because it is a
display of a gender stereotype of how women have so much love for their clothes
and materialistic items, whereas typical men love their beer and watching a
football game with a couple of friends. This advert is very humorous because
men don’t tend to scream liken how women do when they see something very
exciting, this does suggest that men are very fund of their beers. This advert
challenges the expectations of stereotypes as it does mock adverts that are
typically stereotypical.
Surrealism
A surrealist
advert is and advert that doesn't meet the normality of reality and it can tend
to be physically impossible to do in real life. An example of a surrealist
advert is a gorilla playing the drums passionately and it appears to actually
be having lots of fun whilst playing, as this is the Cardbury chocolate advert.
This advert plays with the normality of reality, as it is obvious we haven’t ever
seen a gorilla play the drums, this doesn't actually happen in reality. Hench
why this advert is one to remember but yet unusual. I think this advert is a
very successful one as it attracts various audiences with different age ranges,
and is a humorous advert that audiences can remember due to how unusual it is.
Parody
Parodic adverts are adverts that make fun of themselves or other narratives. They are knowing and can make fun of a very idea of selling product. A good parody advert is the john lewis christmas advert as it is an emotional one which attracts viewers, this advert avery entertaining and catches the viewers eyes as it is made to not be boring.
Famous faces
Famous face adverts are very important as the audiences who love these celebrities might get attracted to the product that is being advertised. Moreover the advantages of this is that people tend to be influenced by celebrities so seeing them ion adverts will satisfy the audience. A very good example of a famous face advert is the Cheryl cole advert this is a very good example because viewers can see the product that she uses and want the same hair as her.
shock adverts
A shock adverts are very important for the audience to see the reason for this is because it attracts viewers for them actually see the consequences of certain things. This is very important as everyday life a lot of shocking things happen for example car crashes this happens a lot in the UK so for this being advertise is very important for viewers to think twice about being safe on road and wearing seat belts. A good example is safe driving adverts this attracts viewers and make them be safe on road and help fewer incidents on road.
