18-13: Using Brand History This clip examines advertising and takes a look at
branding history.
It also looks at communicating the main message
or the icon to the consumer in order to enhance
brand recall.
Note: Please make sure that the video file is
located in the same folder as the PowerPoint
slides.
18-14: Focus of Advertisements Most advertising is product focused. However,
companies like Exxon-Mobile advertise their
commitment to the environment, not their
products, to inform, persuade, and remind
consumers of positive thoughts about the
company, which can prompt the purchase of
products and services.
Ask students: Why might Exxon be particularly
interested in institutional advertising?
Oil and Gas companies are often accused of
engaging in practices that are harmful to the
environment.
Therefore it is important for the firm to stress that
they are an environmentally responsible firm to
negate some of this criticism.
18-15: Social Marketing Public service advertisements are designed to
raise awareness of public welfare issues and
receive free airtime, as required by the FCC.
