Class 15 and 16 - Public Relations and Advertising

PUBLIC RELATIONS - We viewed videos about Edward Bernays and about various aspects of public relations. We discussed greenwashing, astroturfing, crisis management and celebrity image make-overs. 



ADVERTISING: We viewed older TV ads, TV ads aimed at particular demographics and an analysis of consumerism. We discussed the VALS framework, which is an example of how advertisers target and respond to the demographics the clients want to reach. We discussed viral advertising and viewed examples from epipheo.


HOMEWORK: Read Chapter 14 - Media Law.
