Scenario 10-5 In 2007, Ford Motor Company fell from second to third in the U.S. annual vehicle sales for the first time in 56 years. Facing stiff competition from foreign automakers and brand indifference amongst U.S. consumers, Ford appeared to be headed towards turbulent times. However, when marketing and advertising guru Jim Farley joined Ford in November 2007, he brought with him a number of fresh ideas that helped turn the company in the right direction. Farley quickly found that Americans had become indifferent to the Ford brand, which in his opinion was even worse than disliking the brand. So Farley, along with the rest of the marketing team at Ford, created a campaign that used catchy songs and cheerful images to accompany its line of automobiles. The marketing team at Ford began heavily utilizing the Internet to promote the Ford Fiesta, which was the focus of a campaign that greatly increased awareness of the Ford brand. The company also stressed the value of buying environment-friendly cars, a move it hoped would improve the brand's image throughout the world. These moves appeared to work-in late 2010, Ford was once again named the second-leading automotive company in the United States, as well as the fourth largest in the world. ("Ford Can Fiesta Again." The Economist, October 28, 2010) -(Scenario 10-5) If the objective of Ford is to persuade consumers to buy its cars during a special limited-time offer,which of the following advertising methods should Ford use? 


A)  Hard-sell ads

Scenario 10-2 Advertisers have a wide choice of objectives and methods when creating an ad for a product, no matter what the product category is. For example, both Taylor and Yamaha sell guitars. Both have created ads that have been recognized by the advertising industry as outstanding creative efforts. However, they have chosen different ways to use magazine advertising to sell guitars. A representative advertisement for Taylor features a photograph of a beautiful, lush, fog-shrouded forest. The headline reads, "If a tree falls in the forest and you're not there to hear it, does it make a sound? Yes, it just might take 7 or 8 years." The copy is three sentences long and talks about the time and attention that Taylor takes in making quality guitars. Only the top couple inches of a guitar featuring the Taylor logo are shown. While the ad could be classified as exemplifying a number of approaches to meeting message objectives, it most closely fits the description of the USP method by linking a key attribute (quality) to the brand name (Taylor) . The main visual in an ad for the Yamaha Pacifica is a bold shot of the guitar. The headline reads, "To survive, you need four things: Food. Sex. Shelter. Guitars. Make that two things." The ad features characteristics of several approaches to meeting message objectives. However, the headline seems to define it as using the humor method to persuade consumers to prefer the brand. -(Scenario 10-2) Ads such as Taylor's try to: 


A)  link special attributes to a brand, either explicitly or implicitly. 
B)  place brands in socially desirable environments. 
C)  use comparisons to other brands to create an image. 
D)  engage the consumer on a high cognitive level.
