 Old Spice uses rather muscly men in their adverts. This plays to the their strengths of their advert. While the advert is used to promote a product for Males, they know that men aren't aren't as fussed about the way they smell after a shower. They target the women in this advert, they do this by saying that their man can't be the men in the advert but they could smell like the men in the advert. This clever play on who they target means their advert is really constructed differently from other adverts that are in the same area as old spice. This promotion worked really well, as it had a comedic effect that people saw in it and because of this people remembered the brand name as it was a huge reinvention of the old brand that people new. In fact the share price after the release of the advertising campaign was rising steadily for quite a while afterwards. Lucozade: Lucozade uses the popular footballer Gareth Bale to portrait their product. they do this as most of people...

How many organisations own major newspapers in the UK. 7 Major companies make up 80% of the news outlets in the UK They are: Johnston press, Gannet UK, Tindle Newspapers, Local world, Trinity Mirror Regional, Archant and KM group. These groups account for 85% of all revenue generated by media outlets in the UK and control almost all of the newspapers. A local newspaper, the Leicester Mercury, is owned solely by Trinity Mirror who owns multiple other papers in England and Scotland such as: Sunday Mirror, Daily Mirror and Sunday Mail.

The is bad for the public as they reply on the papers being independent and having different views...

The Guardian and Daily Mails home page are both different, as they both take two very different approaches to presenting the media. The Guardian takes a very modern approach to the website with lots of interlocking boxes of different sizes and shapes. Where as the guardian just uses a large list of stories from the top to the bottom. Both have a large focus on pictures as a selling point for the articles and rely on that fact heavily to get people to click on the pages. However where as the daily mail just has a couple of pictures next to the article. The Guardian uses overlays and clipping in order to make the images seem more interested and link to the article they are representing. The Guardian have written about the event over several days. They have done this because of there capitalist ideas. writing different parts of the story over multiple days means people will have to buy the paper multiple times, this is making the paper more money and getting returning viewers. Returning...
