As part of a larger investigation, which seeks to link the cultural change in Chile in the last 40 years with the evolution of retail advertising; in which an exploratory analysis of a sample of graphic pieces from 1997 took place. The aim is to characterize the advertising time using a quantitative description of the characters present in the advertisements and a qualitative analysis of linguistic messages and deviant cases. Although Chile was living important economic and socio-cultural changes, which promoted an explosive development of consumption, the advertising analyzed presents a simple and denotative style, where texts and associated promotion offers low prices and a variety of predominate products. Minority representation of characters tends to display passive attitudes, especially women. However, it also displays an emerging trend toward individuation of the female subject.

This paper analyses the advertising discourses about social commitment in Spanish. Businesses express trough them their values and describe their activity for helping in any social cause, such as environment, sustainable economy, decent jobs, or human rights. These are texts found on company websites and are usually longer than many other types of messages realised by any business. The argumentation is not aimed directly at sales, but at improving the public image of the company itself. This image-work in turn serves as an argument for users to trust the company. Due to this special argumentative activity, this research pursues to identify the main mechanisms of textual construction aimed at this persuasive purpose. To this end, a macrosyntax model is applied. This presupposes the existence of a discourse grammar and defines textual units, categories, and functions from a pragmatic approach. This model allows to explain the main discursive phenomena which create this type of advertising texts, such as a moderate density of information, a low hierarchisation of information, the use of topics, a tendency to express coordination or the abundant use of gerunds.

This paper analyzes, from a critical perspective, the case of the campaign realized to promote an Yves Saint Laurent perfume (Libre) starring by an international recognized singer, in order to reveal the paradoxical background of its staging. The campaign gravitates around the iconographic motif of fire and underlines the dangerous nature of Freedom, in the general context of an Emotional Advertising work that aims to promote ethical thinking amongst consumers, beyond the visual pleasures and attraction generated by its images.

Traditionally, the representation of women in advertising has been based on social stereotypes. This paper aims to analyze how women have been represented in Spanish TV commercials in the last fifteen years, through a content analysis of the winning commercials in Los Anuncios del Año contest. The results show that, although the role and context in which women are represented have changed considerably, the presence of non-normative bodies, skin colors, genders and sexualities is still anecdotal.

This paper is part of a broader sociological investigation and on this research what is intended is to studies the narration of television advertising; which is produced to persuade the poor informal and impoverished working classes to consume through informal credit in Costa Rica. Particularly, this academic-scientific paper analyzes advertising, which is conceived as cultural artifacts produced by the advertising industry, then these were the object of a critical political analysis of the image. One of the most important conclusions that the study yielded was the understanding that advertising, as a powerful social fact, operates in a cultural-symbolic key and as an ideological suture in the face of a social, economic and culturally unequal daily life. In addition to advertising as an artifact, a cultural instrumentalized certain mythical elements of the Costa Rican idiosyncrasy to reproduce the capitalist cultural system and also reproduce and update certain parts of the country's nationalist myth.

HbbTV technology and the growing penetration of connected televisions allow adding interaction on TV commercials, though its use is still testimonial. This paper aims to analyze the perception, preferences and motivations of users regarding interactive advertising. An experiment is designed in which the sample visualizes a rotation of commercials that includes three interactive ads and, subsequently, completes a questionnaire. Results show a lower perception of interactivity in older subjects, which are also more reluctant to interact with these ads. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a retrospective analysis of the free press from its origins to the present day. It is based on the hypothesis that advertising occupied an essential place in the evolution of the free press in Spain. For this reason, the role that advertising had in the origin, consolidation and decline of the free general information press in Spain is analyzed. The data reflects how unstable it is to subordinate the survival of the media to advertising revenue alone. The interest of this work lies in the importance that financing models are having in the media with the arrival of the Internet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nowadays, tourism, in the so-called millennial generation, has shifted from the experience itself and the pleasure of traveling to the pleasure of sharing and finding, in the stories and images narrated in social networks, a way to express their concerns to the world. That is, before embarking on the trip, millennial tourists seek the experience of the chosen place in images that their referents (influencers or prescribers) show in different social networks; in this way they program the mental representations with which they build their trip, and reaffirm from their own testimony or experience. This paper explores some significant examples of how the intersection between tourism promotion and Instagram -as an eminently visual social platform- offers. Starting from a qualitative methodology, the theoretical bases of tourism and the tourist image are reviewed to place them in the current context of the Instagram social network, subjecting these assumptions to analysis through the survey technique, which is applied to millennial tourists, followers of microinfluencers chosen for their relevance in the study. The results of the work show the effects of the influencer on the follower and potential tourist; moreover, in most cases, millennial tourists use the visual suggestions of the posts of their prescribers to discover new tourist destinations.

Rhetoric has a long tradition in the professional practice and in the scientificacademic researchers in Advertising. This paper presents the research that assumed as main aim to know the rhetorical knowledge of university students of Advertising and Public Relations at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid; for which a structural sample of students of the 3rd year of the Degree in Advertising and Public Relations of the mentioned University belonged to the 2017/2018 academic course was selected, whom an quantitative survey was performed. The results show a student body with little knowledge of Rhetoric who, at the same time, is aware of its shortcomings and of the close link between rhetorical activity and advertising activity. Likewise, the lack of rhetoric training is verified, which affects, mainly, specifically advertising subjects of the curriculum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to research the persistence of gender stereotypes in contemporary Spanish advertisements promoting Mr. Clean cleaning products. To analyze the selected advertisements, according to the method of opportunistic sampling, we have used the technique of qualitative content analysis and compared 10 Mr. Clean ads with 10 ads of other brands. The results show the persistence of gender stereotypes in most Mr. Clean ads. In most of the selected ads, women are the ones performing the cleaning tasks, while men are associated more with strength and expert work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is a research about the development of the transmedia narrative for an animated film by Disney. Particularly, the communication actions assumed by this film company to keep its productions present in the consumer's life are studied in detail. Thus, we have studied the case of Wreck It Ralph! (2012), where a reverse product placement was developed. This exploration has required a qualitative methodology that has led us to investigate the implementation of this type of tools in a theoretical way. Likewise, an interview was conducted with Walter Crockett, Disney's digital marketing manager, in order to reach a pragmatic view on the issue. Consequently, we obtain a study that shows the dimensions and tools designed to extend the story of an animated film. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use of influencers by brands in their strategies, mainly digital, is currently a consolidated practice. However, from a legal point of view, the advertising nature of the message is not always identified, inducing or may induce an error to the recipient. This behavior is also favored by the influencers themselves in their ways of presenting and communicating the message, since they appear to be third parties not unrelated to the advertisers. These practices where advertising is not identified are considered in themselves misleading by Law 3/1991 on Unfair Competition. The situation has led to finally Autocontrol and AEA have signed with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation and Consumer Affairs, a "Code of conduct on the use of influencers in advertising" (Autocontrol, 2020). In this paper, the presence of a brand in a sample of influencers targeting young people on Instagram is analyzed during a period of 6 months (4T2020-1T2021) in order to study the level of legal identification of said brands before and after entry into force of the Code of Conduct on January 1, 2021, as well as the type of brand presence (verbal or written), its degree of visibility or its presence in shared content.

This paper intends to carry out an investigation about the development of the creative competence during the formation on the university degree of Advertising and Public Relations. Specifically, it seeks to find out if the study and promotion of creativity is adapted to the demands of the professional advertising sector. A triple-approach methodology was carried out based on an analysis of the content of the study plans, a questionnaire for graduate students and a panel of experts made up of academics belonging to the degree of Advertising and Public Relations. The results indicate that, although the training of these graduates seems adequate in general terms, the training received on creativity seems insufficient to respond to the demands of the market. Some of the factors that explain these trends are the excessive integration of digital competences due to the renewal of the degree or the impossibility of the academics to implement creative methodologies in the classroom due to the complicated reconciliation between the professional and academic demands they are subjected to. That is why a transformation of the university study plans of the Degree in Advertising and Public Relations is recommended to meet the labor demands related to the exercise of advertising creativity in Spain.

In this paper, festivals and advertising awards are the object of study in order to characterize advertising, with two goals: on one hand, to validate the use of the information registered in international advertising festivals, ads and awards as a good object of study in which to measure the quality production of advertising agencies and countries; and, on the other, to exemplify this object of study by analyzing the Ibero-American context. We develop a methodology based on a documentary and descriptive analysis of the awards (6921 analyzed awards) received by Ibero-American agencies (692 analyzed agencies) in 24 Ibero-American and international advertising festivals in 2012 and 2013. The paper brings a new dimension and perspective: the visibility that agencies and countries have in a key competition space in the sector and in a region as a whole, on which there is no information, Ibero- America, with particular emphasis on the leadership of Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Mexico, and Colombia. It also reveals a very uneven scenario in the distribution of awards per country: the existence of a reduced elite group of agencies--mostly multinational companies--with a high impact on the system. Such disparity between awards and the agencies monopolize them is consistent with Bradford's mathematical model. Accordingly, the investigation describes an unequal reality of advertising in Ibero-America of great interest to be explored in future studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Urban mobility model based on the use of the private car has important environmental and spatial consequences in contemporary cities. Nonetheless, the automotive industry has attempted to refuse these negative impacts employing a rhetoric discourse following their self-interests. Advertising has become a valuable tool for that purpose: beyond its commercial function, it transfers to the consumer certain symbolic meanings that are juxtaposed on the car in so far as merchandise. Thus, through the advertising message, an intentional and biased image of urban landscapes and public spaces is constructed, playing an important role at the service of the car industry and the road traffic. This paper addresses these mechanisms of production and reproduction of a deliberate image through the Critical Discourse Analysis. For that purpose, a sample of 81 car adverts broadcasted in Spanish TV channels was examined. Using both representations of specific cities and other idealized models, it is concluded that car advertising projects a softened urban image, reducing the complexity of urban forms and functions to a mere scenery.

The patterns of use and frequentation of beaches are a useful tool in a coastal management and planning. The aim of this paper is to apply the method for the analysis of physical carrying capacity in 16 beaches of the island of Minorca, based on the values in m2/user recommended in 2000. A multi-temporal analysis of the beaches evolution is carried out using qualitative variables that allow obtaining the trends of the beaches with parameters that analyse their management and occupation (2000-2017). The results obtained show that the beaches have acceptable carrying capacities and that the environmental management, their advertising and the services provided, condition their temporal space evolution. The method allows setting up future scenarios by using the analysed variables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper I examine both the uses and effects of the digital images spread by the "sequence groups" in Cali (Colombia). It is a live music offer accompanied by electronic recordings (sequences) that replace other musicians. This is a sort of cyborg production, of heteronomous human-artificial sounds articulated to the logic of "copy" proper to the popular globalization. I contend that images and relevance of visuality enable the humanization of these sequences through the management of emotions sought after by the performance. Likewise, the sequence creators try to instill the sounds with warmth. In the online communication images, beyond being advertising, weave the solidarity between colleagues in an unstable trade. I based this work on ethnography where I acted both as a researcher and flute player. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper seeks to identify the appreciation of women against the use of pro-feminist strategies in the advertising industry with a new advertising communication strategy: femvertising. Its main objective is to eliminate the pejorative or materialistic stereotypes of women, which for decades have been replicated and legitimized in advertising, this from a positive message that empowers women, inviting them to explore new roles and raise their self-esteem. The research takes as an example Ecuador and its capital, which are characterized by presenting high statistics of gender violence and sexism, information and data were obtained through a focus group, in which the stimuli generated by three advertising spots aligned were analyzed. to the trend of femvertising: "This is Us" by Nike, "Legacy" by Dove and "We change Bullying by Loving" from Nosotras Ecuador.

A recent strategy known as "femvertising" appears to seek to end the sexism that has always accompanied much of advertising. It not only proposes overcoming sexist paradigms, but also incorporates elements of female empowerment. However, it is not exempt from risks, given its ambivalent nature and the gender interests it invokes. This paper reflects on the theoretical aspects of "femvertising" and employs a case study as a way to approach this type of advertising, on which there is hardly any literature. The conclusions suggest that this is a complex phenomenon that requires deeper analysis in order to diagnose its commitment to equality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Virtual reality stands as a discourse beyond technology, with increasing visibility in all social areas, and becoming one of the protagonists of cyberculture. Advertising is no stranger to this boom of immersive storytelling, and it is becoming usual that campaigns with a transmedia approach use this resource in the face of other narratives and channels of dissemination. Among the existing publics, minors are especially sensitive to the messages to which they are exposed, and therefore must be protected. There is a multitude of studies whose central axis is occupied by this social sector, although there are few studies that interrelate it with digital advertising. In this paper, virtual reality and its presence on YouTube are conceptually exposed, analyzing its advertising use focused on minors. The present investigation tries to elucidate if the immersive advertising complies with the strict control parameters of conventional advertising in its dealings with the minors, and analyzes the convenience of consumption of these campaigns for this public, as well as in what conditions its application is recommended.

The 20th century saw the rise of film productions of agrarian documentaires upon on the olive grove that, besides common major themes -olive planting and harvest, oil extraction and storage-portrayed other visual elements favored by the knurled trunks of the olive tree, the religious touches derived from the oil applications, or events linked to the festivity that marked the end of the harvest period. Elements, in all, that rather than addressing to the didactic dimension, introduced cultural and political aspects, thus fostering the discursive structure of the documentary itself. The present paper revisits a series of documentaries of that particular genre, some of them directed by the Marqués de Villa Alcázar, and a 1952 No-Do's production, to deliver, starting from a comparative analysis of these works, of previous examples and their intersection, whith the aim of revealing the textures that define the underlying cinematographic discourses.

Sustainable development, as well as other narratives within the framework of environmental conservation, is often used as an advertising resource to improve a brand image. In this paper, a teaching proposal based on a critical analysis of the discourse of a set of television commercials is presented. Specific attention is given to the car industry, due to its huge environmental implications and its impact in mass media and popular culture. This study highlights that persuasive discourses around automobile still persist, which are more emotional than rational, as a way to elude the true debates about today's social and environmental challenges.

This paper aims to reconstruct the process by which certain products –cookies, sweets and chocolates– initially destined for men, women, children, adults and elderly alike, regardless of gender or age, emphasizing quality, modernization and technology– were transformed in the first decades of the 20th Century in Argentina into products mainly targeted for consumption by women and children, both boys and girls. This transformation was carried through an association of “sweets", “impulsiveness", “gluttony", “temptation" and “happiness" with female and childhood figures. Along these lines we will analyze the role of private businesses and advertising in the reproduction, diffusion, modification and recreation of images of family, femininity and childhood. We will place these visual representations in line with circulating ideological discourses, full of their own specific intentions. With this in mind we analyze a corpus of 620 advertisements, published in the illustrated magazine Caras y Caretas, between 1898 and 1930. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current system of production and consumption uses advertising to communicate to receivers and consumers the need for an exponential growth economy. The mainstream commercial advertising shows realities individuals have to desire and, ultimately, to need. Nevertheless those needs do not lead to a good life. On the contrary, commercial advertising causes social distances, make worse the damaging effects of the capitalist economy and creates obstacles for change. The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between advertising and good living from a critical perspective. Going through a reflexive method, it explores the theory of needs and the possibility of an advertising that encourages degrowth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

More specifically, it explores the meaning built around happiness and the place of memory in a campaign discourse from the supermarket chain Pão de Açúcar. The discussion is conducted through Discourse Analysis, according to Patrick Charaudeau assumptions, and it indicates that advertising discourses may be related to a base of social memories which may build identification chains in consumers. The study also explores possibilities of conceptual perspectives on memory associated with the communication processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines two advertising campaigns released in the UK in the centennial of the outbreak of the First World War. Memories from those who fought in the battlegrounds provide raw material for both of these productions. We discuss the ways in which collective memory is strategically triggered in order to establish a connection between advertiser and the affective legacy of the celebration. Both commercials became products of consumption. These ads were widely commented and shared online. We highlight the difference between archive and memory, by stressing the affective dimension of memory, the connection between individual and collective memory and the relevance of memory as heritage in maintaining social bonds. In the end, we problematize the strategic use of social memory in the logics of consumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper defines four modes of tutorials created ad hoc in order to develop a specific experience of Learning Project (APP), in the Bachelor of Advertising and Public Relations from the University of Girona. The project has been based on the development of a comprehensive communication campaign from an actual concrete custom client, in this case, the Dean of the Faculty of Tourism. The students have taken on the role of media agencies, teachers have taken the role of campaign managers, and they have corrected their work in the different areas of their campaigns: campaign advice, online communication, audiovisual creation, adverting. Finally, the client role was made by the Dean by acting as a real customer giving students a real and concrete order. The development of the project was made from a systematic and ongoing mentoring that has allowed a combinatorial tutorial, flexible enough to meet the challenge posed to students. Communication campaigns were submitted to a heterogeneous, with the presence of teachers, students and clients. The 4 types of tutorials presented in this new model of university teaching are: specific tutorials weekly, cross tutorial weekly, tutoring and mentoring rehearsal and evaluation tutorial. The result is a rigorous experience that simulates professional work globally serving specific interests and knowledge. We conclude the optimal implementation of this quadruple model of active tutoring in an APP experience. The mock pilot was conducted in 2011/2012 and the final execution took place this year 2012/2013. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Advertisement in Digital Signage environments demands the enrichment of the classic approach of recommendation focused on individuals by means of the delivery of ads for a group of people observing a public screen. Even though the accuracy that can be achieved in the recommendations is important, the degree of novelty perceived by the users is even more important. This balance can be obtained not only through the improvement of the recommendation algorithms, but also through an adequate multiscreen cooperation scheme. Therefore, this paper proposes an approach for the construction of a recommendations system for Digital Signage environments based on a Smart TV-Smartphone cooperation scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Store flyers constitute an important element in the promotional activities of retailers and manufacturers. In particular, for FMCG the inclusion of particular brands in store flyers has become a significant component of promotional budgets. The importance of store flyers is due, in part, to a higher number of consumers using such flyers. Profiling flyer-prone consumers might provide useful insights for retailers and manufacturers with regard to the better use of store flyers as a promotional tool. This paper aims to characterize the flyer-prone consumer in terms of three type of aspects: (i) economic variables; (ii) purchase behaviour-related variables, and Off) sociodemographical aspects. In order to do so, this study shows the results of 225 questionnaires distributed to consumers older than eighteen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
