We have been studying teen culture and advertising for the past 2 months. 2 weeks ago our teacher Mrs. Mystrena threw out a surprise project. With the project came a question, "Does advertising influence or reflect teen culture?" So the first two days we researched for ads to help us. I found this ad that I thought was very good. I was told to put some of it in this blog, so here it is.
Advertising companies over are trying to win the favor of the younger. Have you seen the ads on TV lately? If you have, you must have seen the new commercials. Companies now have professional athletes or famous music bands. Those are the people that young teens look up to. But even today some teens aren't really getting pulled into those commercial.
Some commercials actually repeat lines form other commercials. Evidence that I have of this issue is from the report I found. Roy, the guy who wrote the story, asked a kid name Alex to repeat the saying, "Gimmie a break." He sang it but in a tune from a kit-kat commercial. Mabye companies should try to come up with some new slogans.
All in all, teens are affected form advertising and what is being advertised. Mabye one day Tv and magazines will not affect teens.
