    Each day we see adverts on the television showing us new lifestyles that look glamorous, we hear adverts on the radio, we see slogans emblazoned on people’s clothes, on the side of buses, on billboards, everywhere!!

Impulse anti - perspirant advert This advert is very simple, with an eye-catching image of a woman doing an ordinary thing (walking her dog) in a strange way (with her arm up in the air meaning the dog has to walk upon its hind legs).

    A Comparison of Two Advertisements The female advert could be aimed at middle aged women. This is because it is not showing a really young person in the mirror such as a teenager, and it looks like someone in their mid-twenties or early thirties. This might make it less appealing to younger people, because it does not have the “fun factor” such as funky designs. The male advert could be targeting an age group between 18 and 30 but older people possibly will be tempted to purchase the product,

I believe that the advertisement needs to contain all relevant information on the job vacancy but must also give a brief history of the company and maybe also an indication of how the company wants to grow or expand in the future. The advert could also include the mission statement of the company.
