Question
The highly popular 'Health Nut' chain of health food stores was started by a group of five emergency room doctors. These doctors feel strongly about the issue of drink driving, and the terrible toll it takes on people's lives. They have decided that 5% of 'Health Nut' profits will go into a TV advertising campaign by the company against drink driving. This is an example of: Group of answer choices
Advocacy advertising
Institutional advertising
An emotional appeal
Conflict of interest
Solution
This is an example of:
Advocacy Advertising.
Here's why:
-
Advocacy advertising is a type of advertising where a company promotes a particular cause or viewpoint, rather than a product or service.
-
In this case, the 'Health Nut' chain of health food stores is using a portion of their profits to fund a TV advertising campaign against drink driving.
-
This campaign is not promoting their products or services, but rather advocating for a cause (reducing drink driving) that the company's founders feel strongly about.
-
While this could also be seen as a form of institutional advertising (which promotes an organization's image, reputation or ideas rather than a specific product), the focus on a specific cause or issue makes it more accurately described as advocacy advertising.
-
It's not necessarily an emotional appeal, unless the ads themselves use emotional content to persuade viewers. And it's not a conflict of interest, as the campaign aligns with the company's mission and values and does not present a situation where the doctors' personal interests could improperly influence their professional duties.

A popular energy drink company, Zoom Beverages, is conducting research to evaluate the effectiveness of its new advertising campaign to increase the sales of its new energy drink. The null hypothesis in this study states that the new advertising campaign has no significant impact on sales of the new energy drink.

The results indicate a significant increase in energy drink sales because of the new advertising campaign. The research team concludes that the new advertising campaign is effective in increasing their new energy drink sales, and the null hypothesis is rejected.
