Lifestyle Ad • Nissan's Quest ads took aim at an anti-minivan mind-set among some women • Ads make the usual pitch about the van's utility secondary • There's seating for seven, a foldaway third-row seat and automatic side doors. But the ads try to show that the safe vehicle is also safe to be seen in on a Saturday night out, and that it's useful for grown-up sporting equipment, too — such as golf clubs and yoga balls. The campaign theme: "Moms have changed; shouldn't minivans?"

  15. Slice of Life Example The first 30-second TV spot in the "A Family Company" campaign, entitled "You Listen," showcases the Glade and Windex brands, and debuted during ABC's "Extreme Home Makeover: Home Edition." The campaign is also slated to appear during holiday specials including the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and "It's a Wonderful Life." Foote Cone & Belding, Chicago created the ads.

  16. Setting the tone • The tone of the ad must also be determined and linked to the message • Is it appropriate to use: • Humour? Reno Depot, Engage the Vote, MADD • Serious? United Way, MADD • Shock? MADD

  17. Media Selection • Television • Radio • Transit • Billboard (see next slide) • Internet • Magazines • Newspapers • Direct Mail • Alternate Media – shirts, caps, fax, yellow pages, movies, free-standing road signs, carry-home menus • Refer to Table 12.2, p. 480 • Consider: • Reach • Frequency • Media Impact

  18. Billboard Example TIME Magazine had a pendulum swinging between photos of John Kerry and President George W. Bush. After the election, TIME stopped the pendulum, freezing the cover of TIME over the photograph of the winner, President George W. Bush. The $5 million campaign was designed and created by Fallon New York.
