The History of AdvertisementCommercial messages and political campaign displays have been found in the ruins of ancient Arabia. Egyptians used papyrus to create sales messages and wall posters, while lost-and-found advertising on papyrus was common in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Wall or rock painting for commercial advertising is another manifestation of an ancient advertising form, which is present to this day in many parts of Asia, Africa, and South America.The tradition of wall painting can be traced back to Indian rock-art paintings that date back to 4000 BCE. As printing developed in the 15th and 16th century, advertising expanded to include handbills. In the 17th century advertisements started to appear in weekly newspapers in England. These early print advertisements were used mainly to promote: books and newspapers, which became increasingly affordable with advances in the printing press; and medicines, which were increasingly sought after as disease ravaged Europe. However, false advertising and so-called "quack" advertisements became a problem, which ushered in the regulation of advertising content.Edo period advertising flyer from 1806 for a traditional medicine called KinseitanAs the economy expanded during the 19th century, advertising grew alongside. In the United States of America, classified advertisements became popular, filling pages of newspapers with small print messages promoting various goods. The success of this advertising format eventually led to the growth of mail-order advertising.In 1841, the first advertising agency was established by Volney Palmer in Boston. It was also the first agency to charge a commission on ads at 25% commission paid by newspaper publishers to sell space to advertisers. At first, agencies were brokers for advertisement space in newspapers. N. W. Ayer & Son was the first full-service agency to assume responsibility for advertising content. N.W. Ayer opened in 1875, and was located in Philadelphia.At the turn of the century, there were few career choices for women in business; however, advertising was one of the few. Since women were responsible for most of the purchasing done in their household, advertisers and agencies recognised the value of women's insight during the creative process. In fact, the first American advertising to use a sexual sell was created by a woman – for a soap product. Although tame by today's standards, the advertisement featured a couple with the message "The skin you love to touch".A print advertisement for the 1913 issue of the Encyclopædia BritannicaWhen radio stations began broadcasting in the early 1920s, the programs were however nearly exploded. This was so because the first radio stations were established by radio equipment manufacturers and retailers who offered programs in order to sell more radios to consumers. As time passed, many non-profit organizations followed suit in setting up their own radio stations, and included: schools, clubs and civic groups. When the practice of sponsoring programs was popularised, each individual radio program was usually sponsored by a single business in exchange for a brief mention of the business' name at the beginning and end of the sponsored shows. However, radio station owners soon realised they could earn more money by selling sponsorship rights in small time allocations to multiple businesses throughout their radio station's broadcasts, rather than selling the sponsorship rights to single businesses per show. This practice was carried over to television in the late 1940s and early 1950s.A fierce battle was fought between those seeking to commercialise the radio and people who argued that the radio spectrum should be considered a part of the commons –to be used only non-commercially and for the public good. The United Kingdom pursued a public funding model for the BBC, originally a private company but incorporated as a public body by Royal Charter in 1927. In Canada, advocates like Graham Spry were likewise able to persuade the federal government to adopt a public funding model. However, in the United States, the capitalist model prevailed with the passage of the 1934 Communications Act which created the Federal Communications Commission. To placate the socialists, the U.S. Congress did require commercial broadcasters to operate in the "public interest, convenience, and necessity". Nevertheless, public radio does exist in the United States of America.In the early 1950s, the Dumont television network began the modern trend of selling advertisement time to multiple sponsors. Previously, Dumont had trouble finding sponsors for many of their programs and compensated by selling smaller blocks of advertising time to several businesses. This eventually became the norm for the commercial television industry in the United States. However, it was still a common practice to have single sponsor shows, such as the U.S. Steel Hour. In some instances the sponsors exercised great control over the content of the show - up to and including having one's advertising agency actually writing the show. The single sponsor model is much less prevalent now, a notable exception being the Hallmark Hall of Fame.The 1960s saw advertising transform into a modern, more scientific approach in which creativity was allowed to shine, producing unexpected messages that made advertisements more tempting to consumers' eyes. The Volkswagen ad campaign--featuring such headlines as "Think Small" and "Lemon" (which were used to describe the appearance of the car)--ushered in the era of modern advertising by promoting a "position" or "unique selling proposition" designed to associate each brand with a specific idea in the reader or viewer's mind. This period of American advertising is called the Creative Revolution and its poster boy was Bill Bernbach who helped create the revolutionary Volkswagen ads among others. Some of the most creative and long-standing American advertising dates to this incredibly creative period.Public advertising on Times Square, New York City.The late 1980s and early 1990s saw the introduction of cable television and particularly MTV. Pioneering the concept of the music video, MTV ushered in a new type of advertising: the consumer tunes in for the advertising message, rather than it being a byproduct or afterthought. As cable and satellite television became increasingly prevalent, specialty channels emerged, including channels entirely devoted to advertising, such as QVC, Home Shopping Network, and ShopTV.Marketing through the Internet opened new frontiers for advertisers and contributed to the "dot-com" boom of the 1990s. Entire corporations operated solely on advertising revenue, offering everything from coupons to free Internet access. At the turn of the 21st century, the search engine Google revolutionized online advertising by emphasizing contextually relevant, unobtrusive ads intended to help, rather than inundate, users. This has led to a plethora of similar efforts and an increasing trend of interactive advertising.The share of advertising spending relative to GDP has changed little across large changes in media. For example, in the U.S. in 1925, the main advertising media were newspapers, magazines, signs on streetcars, and outdoor posters. Advertising spending as a share of GDP was about 2.9%. By 1998, television and radio had become major advertising media. Nonetheless, advertising spending as a share of GDP was slightly lower -- about 2.4%.A recent advertising innovation is "guerrilla promotions", which involve unusual approaches such as staged encounters in public places, giveaways of products such as cars that are covered withbrand messages, and interactive advertising where the viewer can respond to become part of the advertising message. This reflects an increasing trend of interactive and "embedded" ads, such as via product placement, having consumers vote through text messages, and various innovations utilizing social networking sites (e.g. MySpace).Paul McManus, the Creative Director of TBWA\Europe in the late 90's summed up advertising as being "...all about understanding. Understanding of the brand, the product or the service being offered and understanding of the people (their hopes and fears and needs) who are going to interact with it. Great advertising is the creative expression of that understanding."Don Sheelan, Regina CEO argues that; "the most important objective of any advertising is building brand awareness."BrandingAlthough advertising has existed for a long time, explicit "branding" is a product of the late 1800s. Because of the prevalence of dangerous products and unregulated industries of the Industrial Revolution, brands were introduced to increase the reputation and value of a particular manufacturer. An identified brand often meant safety and quality and led to popularity.Mobile Billboard AdvertisingMobile Billboards are flat-panel campaign units in which their sole purpose is to carry advertisements along dedicated routes selected by clients prior to the start of a campaign. Mobile Billboard companies do not typically carry third-party cargo or freight. Mobile displays are used for various situations in metropolitan areas throughout the world, including:Target advertisingOne day, and long term campaignsConventionSporting eventsStore openings or other similar promotional eventsBig advertisements from smaller companiesProduct advertisingCertain products use a specific form of advertising known as "Custom publishing". This form of advertising is usually targeted at a specific segment of society, but may also "draw" the attention of others. The lists are presented in the following box:v • d • eProduct advertisingAlcohol advertising · Cosmetic advertising · Fast food advertising · Gambling advertising · Mobile phone content advertising · Tobacco advertising · Toy a dvertising See also: Advertising regulationPublic service advertisingThe same advertising techniques used to promote commercial goods and services can be used to inform, educate and motivate the public about non-commercial issues, such as AIDS, political ideology, energy conservation, religious recruitment, and deforestation.Advertising, in its non-commercial guise, is a powerful educational tool capable of reaching and motivating large audiences. "Advertising justifies its existence when used in the public interest - it is much too powerful a tool to use solely for commercial purposes." - Attributed to Howard Gossage by David OgilvyPublic service advertising, non-commercial advertising, public interest advertising, cause marketing, and social marketing are different terms for (or aspects of) the use of sophisticated advertising and marketing communications techniques (generally associated with commercial enterprise) on behalf of non-commercial, public interest issues and initiatives.In the United States, the granting of television and radio licenses by the FCC is contingent upon the station broadcasting a certain amount of public service advertising. To meet these requirements, many broadcast stations in America air the bulk of their required Public Service Announcements during the late night or early morning when the smallest percentage of viewers are watching, leaving more day and prime time commercial slots available for high-paying advertisers.Public service advertising reached its height during World Wars I and II under the directionof several governments. Now in days, people average around 500 advertisements a day, found one researcher.。

From the early days of print advertisements to the modern digital age, advertising has evolved and adapted to the changing needs and preferences of consumers. In this essay, we will explore the development of Western advertising, from its historical roots to its current forms and impact on society.The history of Western advertising can be traced back to the 17th century, when the first print advertisements appeared in newspapers and pamphlets. These early advertisements were simple and straightforward, often consisting of just a few lines of text accompanied by an illustration. As the Industrial Revolution took hold in the 19th century, advertising began to take on a more prominent role in society. With the advent of mass production and the rise of consumer culture, advertisers sought new and innovative ways to promote their products to a growing audience.The 20th century saw a dramatic shift in the world of advertising, as new technologies such as radio and television allowed advertisers to reach a wider audience than ever before. The rise of iconic advertising campaigns, such as Coca-Cola's "Hilltop" commercial and Apple's "1984" ad, helped to shape the modern advertising landscape and solidify the role of advertising in popular culture. As the internet and digital media have become increasingly prevalent, advertising has continued to evolve, with new opportunities for targeted advertising and interactive marketing.One of the key developments in Western advertising has been the shift towards a more consumer-centric approach. In the past, advertisers often relied on mass marketing techniques to reach a broad audience. However, as consumer preferences have become more diverse and individualized, advertisers have had to adapt their strategies to engage with consumers on a more personal level. This has led to the rise of targeted advertising, influencer marketing, and other forms of personalized advertising that seek to connect with consumers on a deeper level.The impact of advertising on Western society has been profound. On one hand, advertising has been instrumental in driving economic growth and promoting consumer goods and services. It has also played a role in shaping cultural attitudes and influencing public opinion. However, advertising has also been the subject of criticism, with concerns about its impact on consumer behavior, its role in perpetuating stereotypes, and its potential to manipulate public discourse. As a result, advertisers and regulators have had to navigate a complex landscape of ethical and social considerations in the development and implementation of advertising campaigns.In conclusion, the development of Western advertising has been a dynamic and ever-evolving process. From its humble beginnings in print media to its current forms in the digital age, advertising has adapted to the changing needs and preferences of consumers.

西方广告的发展英语作文The Development of Western AdvertisingThe history of advertising can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where merchants and traders used various methods to promote their goods and services. However, the modern concept of advertising as we know it today emerged in the Western world, particularly in Europe and the United States, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This period saw a significant transformation in the way businesses and individuals communicated with their target audiences, leading to the development of sophisticated advertising techniques and strategies.One of the key drivers behind the growth of Western advertising was the industrial revolution.

These agencies played a crucial role in shaping the direction of Western advertising, introducing new techniques and strategies that would become the foundation of the industry.One of the most significant developments in Western advertising was the use of visual imagery and branding. Advertisers began to recognize the power of visual elements, such as illustrations, photographs, and logos, to capture the attention of consumers and convey a strong brand identity. The use of celebrity endorsements and testimonials also became a popular strategy, as advertisers sought to leverage the influence and credibility of well-known individuals to promote their products.The early 20th century witnessed the rise of the "golden age" of advertising, with the emergence of iconic campaigns and memorable slogans. Advertisers began to experiment with more emotive and persuasive techniques, tapping into the psychological and emotional needs of consumers. The development of mass media, such as radio, television, and print, also provided new platforms for advertisers to reach their target audiences.One of the most notable examples of Western advertising during this period was the iconic "Think Small" campaign for the Volkswagen Beetle. Launched in the 1950s, this campaign challenged theprevailing norms of automotive advertising by featuring a simple, understated design and focusing on the car's practical features rather than its size or power. The campaign was a resounding success, and it is widely regarded as one of the most influential and innovative advertising campaigns in history.The latter half of the 20th century saw the continued evolution of Western advertising, with the emergence of new technologies and the increasing importance of data-driven marketing. The rise of digital media, including the internet, social media, and mobile devices, has revolutionized the way advertisers reach and engage with their target audiences. Targeted advertising, personalized content, and real-time data analysis have become essential tools in the modern advertising landscape.Despite the significant changes and advancements in Western advertising over the years, the core principles of effective advertising remain the same. Successful campaigns continue to rely on a deep understanding of consumer behavior, the effective use of visual and emotional elements, and the ability to create a compelling and memorable brand identity.As the world becomes increasingly interconnected and the competition for consumer attention intensifies, the role of Western advertising continues to evolve. Advertisers must adapt to thechanging landscape, embracing new technologies and developing innovative strategies to effectively reach and engage their target audiences. However, the fundamental principles that have guided the development of Western advertising over the past century will likely continue to shape the industry for years to come.。

广告发展史的英语作文Advertising, a ubiquitous force in modern society, has undergone significant transformations throughout its rich history. From its humble beginnings as simple shouts and signs to the sophisticated, multi-faceted strategies of today, advertising has evolved to become a powerful toolfor communication, persuasion, and brand building.Early forms of advertising can be traced back to ancient times, when merchants used various techniques to attract customers. In ancient Egypt, for instance, shopkeepers would hang signs outside their stores to advertise their wares. Similarly, in ancient Greece and Rome, merchants would call out loudly to passersby, announcing their products and services. These early forms of advertising were primitive but effective, as they capitalized on the power of word-of-mouth and visual cues to draw in customers.As the centuries progressed, advertising evolved along with the growth of trade and urbanization. The printing press revolutionized advertising in the 15th century, as it allowed for the mass production of printed materials suchas flyers, brochures, and newspapers.
