Over 250 Zion Preparatory Academy students K-5th graders will have the opportunity to meet and greet Hamtaro in person, do the Ham-Ham dance and see an episode of Hamtaro before it debuts nationally--Anime News Service, May 16, 2002
As Madison Avenue becomes more and more desperate to push its products, corporations have taken new steps in advertising. These steps range from invasive, such as interrupting school to debut a new cartoon freshly translated from the original Japanese to downright annoying such as ten full minutes television commercials before the start of a movie the patron paid good money to see. The advertisers are working overtime to get our attention and gather information about our habits.
Advertising is a relatively new phenomenon to the world. Throughout history, product was made locally and sold locally. If one wanted ale, one looked for the sign in his village, town, or whatever. Beer was beer, a wagon wheel was a wagon wheel, and a horseshoe was a horseshoe, the quality of the product spoke for itself, if you did not like it, it was based on your personal experience. Those were simpler times.
With the advent of newspapers and the rise in a literate population, businesses began to hire out space in the paper to showcase their wares. From those humble beginnings sprung a Godzilla sized industry that is encompassing our lives. Advertising has gone from a simple suggestion to purchase a product to a part of our lives. Advertising is on nearly everything, our cars, our clothes, our appliances at home right down to our food.
Now you may ask, "Where is the advertising on my car? It's just a Geo Tracker." That's just it; you answered my question, by naming it. The vehicle also names itself, if you notice the nameplates on the sides that denote the make and model. This is a subtle form of advertising that says what it is, just in case you want one for yourself. Appliances also utilize this form of advertising; right now I own a Sony television that features the company logo prominently in its face below the screen. Our fast food is blanketed in paper with the restaurants logo emblazoned all over it before it's given to the hungry patron, in hopes that someone else sees it and gets an urge for the same food or at least that restaurant's food.
Advertising is as old as civilization itself. They are forever interconnected. If one changes then so does the other. So as our society evolved dramatically by the influence of technology and social media, so did the way we advertised. With the power of technology, advertising gained the ability to be everywhere at once. These locations ranged from billboards, to projector screens that hang from skyscrapers, to even in your homes in the form of commercials. The evolution of advertising in the modern world is both somewhat disturbing and innovative at the same time.
Advertisement can be seen across the world almost anywhere and about anything. Some places where people can find advertisements in the newspapers, in the magazines, and on the web. The use for the advertisement is so businesses can launch their names and products as much as possible, since more and more businesses are in competition against each other. For example, the ad in the Arkansas Wild magazine is supposed to make the business Crain RV stand out to customers. The setting of the advertisement, the colors of the setting, and the design of the logo and words that are used in the business Crain RV’s advertisement would make most people pause on to look at the advertisement.
Advertising is a $125 billion industry that attracts the attention of the public. Advertising is used as a tool of persuasion in television, magazines, radio, billboards, and in-store displays. The incredible amount of money, artistic ability, and intellectual energy spent on advertisements helps us understand the great power of the media and the advertiser's ability to control their viewers.
Advertisements are one of many things that Americans cannot get away from. Every American sees an average of 3,000 advertisements a day; whether it’s on the television, radio, while surfing the internet, or while driving around town. Advertisements try to get consumers to buy their products by getting their attention. Most advertisements don’t have anything to do with the product itself. Every company has a different way of getting the public’s attention, but every advertisement has the same goal - to sell the product. Every advertisement tries to appeal to the audience by using ethos, pathos, and logos, while also focusing on who their audience is and the purpose of the ad. An example of this is a Charmin commercial where there is a bear who gets excited when he gets to use the toilet paper because it is so soft.
To begin, for just about every product on the market there is an advertisement made to accompany it. Commercials are a common form of media, which are used for soliciting both products and services.

It became customary for businesses to influence an audience at a large scale compared to previous mom-and-pop stores. (Allor)
