In Amanda Fazzone’s article “Boob Tube,” she explains how TV. show heroines are empowered only because they “bask in the sex object role,” even though NOW (National Organization for Women) states that these “intelligent” and “well-rounded” women are able to “break out of the sex object role and portray authentic people.” Fazzone questions NOW’s credibility for their criterion of their idea of authentic and intelligent women. “If heroines like Felicity are empowered, it’s only because they’ve decided that what really drives female power is sex,” Fazzone states at the beginning of the article. Fazzone takes a stand against NOW asking how they choose their endorsements. NOW explains that their endorsements are intelligent, well-rounded authentic women, but Fazzone wants to know if they are really women who bask in the sex object role, and what are the shows NOW endorses are really about?
If so, is it towards the direction Pepsi favored? Based on the limited information I have from the case, I would not suggest dropping the project abruptly as it might trigger negative sentiments. I would either proceed to fund it for the second year with plans to wrap it up by end of second year, or get the PepsiCo brand team to fund it, involving more brands such as Doritos I could not find any indication from the case regarding why consumers prefer Coca-Cola over Pepsi Cola, despite the successful blind-tasting campaign.

Pepsi’s Marketing Idea In 1961 Pepsi had redefined its target audience, recognising the importance of securing the younger post-war generation as consumers, with the slogan “Now It’s Pepsi, for those who think young” defining youth as a state of mind rather than actual age (Pepsi.com, 2006). Over the years, Pepsi’s campaigns continued to evolve in order to capture the post-war baby boom demographic constantly revolving advertising campaigns around the notion of youthful imagery and lifestyle (Pepsi.com 2006). Although in the 1950’s Pepsi had used Hollywood starlet Joan Crawford at the forefront of their company, it wasn’t until 1984 when Pepsi used celebrity, Michael Jackson who also appealed to their demographic, that the marketing power of a celebrity was noticed by the company.

Unlike its big competitors that use traditional sales and distribution model focused on transforming concentrate into a bottle of soda and delivering it to a customer, SodaStream produces soda system that allows customers make their own soda at home.

Wolf cites further evidence using magazines such as Vogue and Cosmopolitan (explained during group presentation). By investigating why women, unlike men, can easily succumb to such evils, Wolf provides some answers to this multifaceted issue by illustrating magazines as the only a vital piece of mass media that directly communicates with women, so they are very important to women despite the manipulative and condescending approach for which the advertisers persistently deploy; and consequently, women are also restrained by generations of poor education (ex.
