2. What is Global Advertising? Global Advertising is on a worldwide scale, whereby companies take commercial advantage of global media as a concept as well as be aware of the arguments for and against it.

3. Will some campaigns just work in the UK? Using certain celebrities such as Cheryl Cole for L'Oreal would only be appealing for consumers in the UK because she is not very well known outside of it. Another example is Jamie Oliver advertising Sainsbury’s, again he is only known in the UK. Therefore using celebrities such as this would only interest consumers in the UK. So when it comes to Global Advertising the company has got to be very careful which celebrity they choose to promote their product. A company could use a campaign similar to L'Oreal as they have used 3 very well known celebrities in their own countries Cheryl Cole, Eva Longoria Parker and Frieda Pintoetc.

4. Why is L'Oreal’s campaigns so successful? Faces of L’Oreal Because they use a variety of models they don’t just have one face for their company, this makes their products more well known and successful. Also as L’Oreal have used such a variety of faces for their campaign every consumer is bound to know a few if not all.

5. Advertising Techniques 1)Celebrity Endorsement - A popular technique used by many different advertising campaigns today. “People want to be like celebrities, so they buy the product”. E.g Cheryl Cole in L'Oreal adverts. Also if people think ‘wow she uses that hairspray I must use it too’. 2) Nurture- This technique will play on people emotions, persuading them into buying the product. E.g. Andrex being a cute puppy. 3) Intelligence- Makes people think twice about the advert. 4) Peer approval- Many adverts use this technique to advertise their products, persuading people to buy it as it convinces them they will become popular. For example: “Not buying this product will lead to you having no friends” E.g. McCoy's Crisps 5) Escape- This advertising techniques convinces people that if they buy this product it will help you escape to another world, time and place. E.g Herbal essences

6. KFC adverts never appear to use celebrity endorsement. Most of their adverts consists of people being some where social eating a KFC. KFC FACT! KFC uses the colour red because research shows that the colour red makes you feel hungry! This is also true for McDonalds, Burger King and Pizza Hut which are the main fast food companies.

It helps us to help you to achieve and maintain restaurant excellence, facilitate effective communication, provide evaluation and feedback, share best practices and develop a recognition culture”. ‘FINGER LICKING GOOD’ One of KFC's latest advertisements is a commercial advertising its "wicked crunch box meal". The commercial features a fictional black metal band called "Hellvetica" performing live, the lead singer then swallows fire. The commercial then shows the lead singer at a KFC eating the "wicked crunch box meal" and saying "Oh man that is hot“. KFC FACTS: KFC was founded in the 1930’s by Colonel Harland Saunders. Introduced in Britain in 1965 First quick-service restaurant in the UK Each year KFC uses some 202 million pounds of breading flour in its famous coating. If all this flour was loaded into 25 pound bags it would take 3,667 articulated lorries to transport it all at once!

7. In 2010, an advertisement was shown in Australia showing an Australian cricket fan giving West Indies fans KFC chicken to keep them quiet. The ad sparked a debate over racism in the ad, suggesting that all black people eat fried chicken. Fried chicken was eaten by black slavesbecause it was cheap and easy to make. Though KFC stated that it was "misinterpreted by a segment of people in the US“, the ad was later pulled from TV. However, several Australian commentators have expressed the opinion that the ad is not racist, because this is not a racial stereotype in Australia and the cricket fans in the ad are not African American, but West Indies cricket supporters (the West Indies cricket team was playing a Test cricket series against the Australian cricket team at the time of the ad). KFC burger advertisement banned! KFC gets through 700 million chickens a year worldwide A TV advert for fast food chain KFC has been banned for misleading people about the size of a burger. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) upheld five complaints that the chicken fillet was larger in the TV commercial than in real-life. It found the advertised bun was thicker than those it bought in a London outlet and that there was "more filling and the lettuce was a different type". KFC said the advert burgers were within the "standard range of dimensions". It suggested the women in the advert may have had small hands - thus making the burger appear bigger - and that the name of the burger indicated it was smaller than other burgers. Size and presentation In the advert in question, a group of people are eating KFC's Mini Fillet chicken burgers at a railway station. "Advertisers are permitted to present their products in a favourable light but not in a way likely to mislead viewers," said the ASA. "Even though the product was called a mini chicken fillet burger, we do not think this was sufficient to alert consumers to the fact the product was smaller than appeared in the advertisement." KFC is owned by US fast-food conglomerate Yum Brands, which also owns Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. BBC NEWS 30th March 2005
