The Role Of Narratives In Eliciting Strong Audience Response To Emotional Commercials, Brooks Jessica
The Role Of Narratives In Eliciting Strong Audience Response To Emotional Commercials, Brooks Jessica
Communication Studies
Let’s face it; crying during movies will always be a bit embarrassing even if the movie is worthy of shedding tears. But crying during a commercial is almost humiliating. Surprisingly, it happens. Commercials from the last few years have caused that very reaction among some audience members. These commercials, built on emotional appeals, contain narratives that cause the audience—in one to three minutes—to feel like part of the world created by the advertiser or rhetor. In a day and age where it is easy to skip an ad, advertisers are turning to the use of narratives as a way to …

Communication Studies

A Quantitative Survey: Are Twitter Advertisements Effective For College Students?, Christia J. Brockman
A Quantitative Survey: Are Twitter Advertisements Effective For College Students?, Christia J. Brockman
Communication Studies

This exponential growth is surprising given the large portion of Twitter users who are between the ages of 18 to 25 with lower annual incomes. In analyzing whether advertising on Twitter is effective on college students, statistical results from a survey conducted among college students at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, reveal that Tweeters in this sample …
