Societal effects - Sex appeal related

Sex appeal may indeed sell a number of products however the effects these messages leave behind are often negative. A recent study has show that kids start having sex at the age of 14.

Weight and body issues are also very common problems amongst teenagers, not only in South Africa but all around the world.





Advertising also plays a prominent role in shaping what society considers to be normal thus all these sex appeal arise...

Regulatory boards such as the Advertising Standards Authority are there to keep check on advertising, which is a good thing... or aren't they doing enough?

Class is in session - Sex Appeal

A feature of sex in advertising; works in that the imagery used, such as that of a pretty woman, typically has no connection to the product being advertised.

The purpose of the imagery is to attract the attention of the potential customer or user.


The sex in advertising appeal has been around forever. In fragrance ads, the message put out is that the nicer you smell the more irresistible you become, as seen in today's episode.

The Theme is Less food, more liquor

Campaign - Carling Black label you be the coach


In its second year running the carling black label cup is back in 2012 featuring star studded soccer players from the prominent Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs camps.

The idea behind the campaign is that supporters nominate players and virtually become the “coach” on match day. You decide who plays, what position they will play and when to substitute players, all by simply sms-ing!!

                                                                       2011




Following the success of 2011’s cup and 10.5 million votes, the Carling cup is back at in 2012. Ogilvy Cape Town has also taken to celebrate their 50year anniversary making ads for SAB

One problem however is that acquisitions have been made and a number of players on the promo have since moved on to play for other teams. The ad came up a bit prematurely.
Looking forward to see what happens in this year’s carling black label cup.

Societal Effects

19 January 2012 was a historic day as far as Wimpy goes...

Between 7 and 8am on this random Thursday, anybody who was seated at a participating Wimpy was eligible for one REE Streaky Bacon Breakfast. You had to hurry though servings were on a first come, first serve basis.


A few tweets from www.iol.co.za expressed mixed emotions some of the tweets read:

"Its just like 1994 again. Vote for free breakfast! Viva Wimpy, Viva!" one person said on twitter. "Black, White, Coloured or Indian. We are all gathered here... for a free meal" another twitter user said.

On the other side of the coin the tweets read; "Instead of feeding the millions of starving kids in our country, Wimpy feeds the masses who don't need a free breakfast." Another twitter user said; "Has Wimpy got a program where their food gets delivered to childcare facilities? Maybe they should think about that. Shameful promo"

Biance Rogers, Wimpy marketing and innovations manager, said the free breakfast drive was a first for Wimpy and the industry.

“Wimpy is renowned as South Africa’s breakfast leader, and our Streaky Bacon Breakfast is one of the most affordable breakfasts around. We know our customers are a little cash-strapped at this time of the year, but we wanted them to still be able to enjoy a Wimpy breakfast,” she said.
Wimpy has been in existence since 1967, said Rogers, and was known for their breakfasts’ affordability and quality, but also because they were served all day.

Class is in session: Product Placement - Strawberry lips

Product Placement is a form of advertising where branded good or services are placed in a context usually devoid of ads.





The practice of featuring products in movies, documentaries, and music videos hovering in the background to show the products use in everyday life.











The idea is to move away from ads being in your face thus taking a more subtle approach, just like DJ Zinhle’s music video filled with strawberry lips bottles.
