Rituals and Advertising







http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUkC17-D_Q4

Hey guys,

this a commercial I saw some days before "Motherday" this May. It is in German - so to summarize it is about a small child expressing how much she loves her mother, yet she is unable to tell because she cannot speak yet.
At the end of the viedeo (screenshot) there is a link that brings you to a NIVEA page where you can send thank you-wishes to your mother. This commercial really reinforces the brand heritage of NIVEA and was quite appealing to me, especially because they are not trying to sell a product or place their product in the ad. I think it is a very smart way to build on a ritual.

See you tomorrow,

Christoph

Rituals and Advertising

Hey guys,
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Tomorrow Shili and I will going to talk ritual and advertising.
Some of you might have a wonderful Halloween party this week, and there is the upcoming Thanksgiving.
So I want to you to share your own experience about how rituals related to advertising and how advertising influences the ritual behaviors.
It is not a compulsive assignment, but I would be very appreciate if you can post a link of a video or any examples of your purchase experience by midnight.
You could also think about it and ready to discuss tomorrow in the class.
Thank you.

Please just post the advertisment without any further comments, we will then discuss a selection of your posts in class.

Thanks and have a great weekend,
