Since the beginning of media and advertising, marketers have employed subtle tactics to attract a more diverse customer base.

It seems that advertisers incorporate certain texts or images in their ads to target a specific group of people that they are trying to sell something to. Theoretically, people are more prone to buy or do something, if they see an ad that sparks their interest.

Rubin describes a specific Coca-Cola ad from the 1950’s that contains a “Sprite Boy”, a large -Cola Coca vending machine, a variety of men, ranging from the working class to members of the army, and the occasional female. She states that this advertisement was very stereotypical of society during that decade and targeted the same demographic: white, working-class males- the same demographic that the Coca-Cola factories employed.
The colonization of the Americas wrought havoc on the Indigenous population through disease, enslavement, war, land theft, and more which echo in the source. The source to be examined in this essay is a Runaway Ad from the Boston News-Letter, dated April 19, 1708. The ad was placed to advertise a reward for finding three runaway slaves from Kingston, Rhode Island who had left the prior winter.

Advertising has been around for decades and has been the center point for buyers by different subjects peaking different audience’s interests. Advertisers make attempts to strengthen the implied and unequivocal messages in trying to manipulate consumers’ decisions. Jib Fowles wrote an article called “Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals,” explaining where he got his ideas about the appeals, from studying interviews by Henry A. Murray. Fowles gives details and examples on how each appeal is used and how advertisements can “form people’s deep-lying desires, and picturing states of being that individuals privately yearn for” (552). The minds of human beings can be influenced by many basic needs for example, the need for sex, affiliation, nurture,
Semiotic Analysis Essay Of a print advertisement Emelie Johansson CIU210 SAE Dubai Institute Media’s central role in our modern society, have become a sort of reference to how we make sense of our existence's and the world we are living in.
