Societal Effects of Mass Advertising (Excerpt)

Masová reklama

Abstract: In the last 20 years, advertising has become a mass phenomenon influencing the whole society. A complete explanation of its mechanism and effects, however, is not found in marketing textbooks.

By connecting the existing findings, we describe the mechanism – automatization, evoking of the desired emotions and the formation of behavioral and cognitive associations. A more specific model enables us to more specifically consider the large-scale effects of mass advertising on the individual and society (promotion of consumerism, effects on science and art). We also raise related ethical questions (manipulation in advertising, advertising to children).
