Abstract
This paper explains that there is evidence that color, especially the viewer's favorite colors, plays an important role in graphic design, especially print media and advertising. The author points out that color has symbolic meaning, which differ culturally: in western societies, white is seen as the traditional color for weddings but, in the Chinese culture, white is used for funerals; and, in America, red is often associated with rage or anger but in China red is used for happiness. The paper relates (1) the importance of graphic designers to study the role of color, how it makes people feel and why this is so significant and (2) the need for more research to understand this phenomena.

From the Paper
"The favorite color that an individual has is considered to say a great deal about them. It is important here to look at the most popular colors briefly and what they say about individuals. Black is considered to be a color of power and authority. It is also very popular and fashionable because many people that wear black look thinner. Black is considered to be timeless and very stylish, but it also implies submissionFor example, priests wear black to signify that they are submissive to God There are those in fashion that indicate women who were black imply that they are submissive to men but many black outfits are also utilized for aloofness or evil, such as those traditionally worn by villains in many television shows and movies."

Abstract
In this paper, the author describes her own responses to television commercials as well as how the population, in general, is affected by the advertisements they see on TV. The author concludes that, while it would not be feasible to eliminate television commercials altogether, it is hoped that viewers will become more aware of how they are being manipulated by advertisements.
From the Paper
"Although the Internet is the top choice of electronic media for young adults 18 to 24, this age group continues to watch significant amounts of television each week. On an average, these individuals will view between two to five hours of TV a day for entertainment and relaxation. Television advertising thus remains a top priority for marketing purposes, and companies continue to rely considerably on this medium to get across their messages (Carparelli, 2004). Audience ad recognition remains at a high 70 percent, and viewers actually like commercials more--especially those that appeal to feelings, use music in a central role, are humorous and tell a story (MTV-3). It is expected that most students in the United States see about 360,000 commercials by the time they graduate high school (Tamburro, 2004)."

Abstract
This paper explains that, because the main product line of the Automobile Association (AA) of the U.K. has reached the maturity phase of the product life-cycle; a new advertising strategy, 'Just AASK', incorporating AA's entire umbrella of business products and services, allows the company to communicate a single streamlined message that addresses both new and existing customer concerns and creates new opportunities for cross sales from the core business. The author points out that the AA has a database including every customer who has ever inquired or purchased a product or service from the company, which can be analyzed to develop potential new markets, target groups and new products and to evaluate models for the 'Just AASK' campaign. The paper relates that the key of the 'Just AASK' agenda is to establish a direct marketing communications program that will increase revenue by increasing sales from existing customers; the acquisition strategy of choice for new customers will be a combination of 'Buzz Marketing' and 'Word-of-Mouth' advertising.

From the Paper
"The majority of all business success revolves around attracting and retaining customers. "It is well recognized that a key issue in gaining brand awareness, trial, and subsequent loyalty is to reflect deep-seated values in advertising and augmented product offerings. When marketers address consumer values, target consumers sense that the product's purpose is to benefit their individual lives." The company will therefore seek to take advantage of its valuable customer databases by first enhancing this wealth of information and then creating new strategies for direct marketing communications with existing customers. The new marketing approach will also create viable means for acquiring new customers."

Hidden Advertising, 2005.
A discussion about what hidden advertising is and why it must be stopped.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 38.95

Abstract
This paper briefly explains that hidden advertising is whereby a product is promoted without the consumer's awareness that he or she is watching, seeing, or most insidiously 'experiencing' an advertisement ploy. The writer argues that this practice is unethical and should not be allowed in American markets.
From the Paper
"What is secret advertising? The New York Times calls such advertising "hidden (in plan sight)" persuasion. Consider a few scenes from the life of a hidden persuader named Gabriella. "At one grocery store, Gabriella asked a manager why there was no Al Fresco sausage available. At a second store, she dropped a card touting the product into the suggestion box. At a third, she talked a stranger into buying a package. She suggested that the organizers of a neighborhood picnic serve Al Fresco." (Walker, 2004) Gabriella is not a paid sponsor. Rather, she is a voluntary recruit of the Al Fresco Company. But it was Al Fresco and its hired advertising agency that encouraged her to do all of these things. She did not promote the product in such an aggressive manner by her own free will, by design, rather her tactics were 'suggested' for her by the company."

Abstract
This paper details the accusations of fraud leveled at Marsh and McLenan Companies, how the company reacted to the accusations and attempted to improve its conduct and image, as well as what circumstances lent themselves to such fraudulent activity and behavior.
From the Paper
"It's happened again-yet another seismic crisis has shaken the foundation of corporate America, in this case, in the highly profitable yet chancy climate of the insurance industry. "Staggered" by accusations that it cheated its customers, Marsh & McLenan Companies, "the world's biggest broker of commercial insurance," released a statement on November 9, 2001 that it was going to be forced to lay off 3,000 employees in the coming months. To give a reader an idea of the magnitude of such a layoff, this comprises five percent of the overall staff and total work force of the company. (Treaster, 2004) Poor profits and poor stock performance were cited as reasons-all the result of a continuing investigation into the company's dodgy legers and questionable business ethics. The company has undergone a change of recent leadership since the scandal, but can the company continue to keep employee morale, motivation, and job performance high, at an acceptable industry standard?"

From the Paper
"All through American history, children of interracial groups have been unable to maintain a healthy relationship with each other. This is particularly true for both black and white communities. The blacks are jealous of the whites because of their higher social, political and financial status and the whites hate the distinct color of the black skin because to them the black color resembles overloaded jinx. The situation is not getting any better and with globalization at the doorstep, the challenges confronting the American society, in general, and American corporations, in particular, are enormous. The last thing they need is to single out a particular group on the basis of their color and marginalize them. Ursula M. Brown (2001) writes, "Thus interracial children have to negotiate all the developmental challenges that confront uni-racial children. In addition, they have to face a unique set of emotional hurdles. These stem from their mixed racial background, a world that has deprived them of the right to define themselves as who they are, and communities that may resent them for their blackness, interracialness, or whiteness.""

Abstract
This paper briefly discusses Corona's successful marketing strategy in the United States and looks at whether this type of campaign can be implemented in the European market. Demographics and consumer trends are examined in order to reach a conclusion.
From the Paper
"Corona's marketing strategy in Europe seems to be to bank on several well-known trends: lighter, paler beer preference among the younger demographics, need for trendiness among the same demographic, and the cachet the Mexican culture seems to have gained in Europe, possibly a unique combination of their familiar Spanish culture and the New World."

From the Paper
"In order to understand the role of advertising agencies in today's global society, it is first necessary to understand the relationship between customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and profitability. These may not seem to have much correlation to advertising and advertising agencies, but they actually do. The reason for this is that these issues are all strongly affected by advertising. Customers that see an advertisement will often purchase products based on that advertisement, and if the product does not live up to the way that it was portrayed in the advertising, customer satisfaction will be very low.

Brand Equity, 2005.

Abstract
This paper describes the function of brand equity, explains its importance to a businesses' success, reviews literature on how to build brand equity and takes a look at how the concept of brand equity in the past in order to discern how companies can best increase brand equity in the present and future.
From the Paper
"One of the most significant ways that companies can increase their brand equity is through advertising. Research done in the past on the subject of advertising looked at how people reacted to advertisements, in that it tried to determine if these individuals would buy the product based on the advertisement. More recently, other research has focused on the actual affect and whether or not the consumer actually likes the advertisement that he or she sees (Vakratsas & Ambler, 1999). Sometimes, individuals purchase products from companies simply because they are familiar with a certain brand, even if they do not care for their advertisements. However, brand equity can become much stronger if it can evolve from advertisements that a consumer actually likes and feels good about viewing."
