Many companies try to attract attention on their product by using attractive women or Hollywood stars on the cover or on the advert. I also don’t know people who would find ads like that offensive. Maybe some old people, like my grandparents or other people from the elder generation. Because fifty years ago it wasn’t very common to make adverts with women showing so much skin. But my generation actually grew up with that and we learned the facts of life in a very early age.
Entering into its first decade of this campaign, should Dove have not even started this campaign? What is this campaign all about, exploiting “fake” beauty or exposing a woman’s natural beauty underneath the layers of foundation and UV rays? I think this campaign has exposed both, but I do believe it is wrong to elude that women who wear make-up are not self-confident and that being “natural” is beautiful, because who is to say someone is not beautiful? Dove, like any other company, has a strong marketing mix, full of diverse products but they all fall under the same department. Product | Price | Place | Promotion | * Personal care (shampoo, deodorant, soup, lotion, ant-aging) * Men’s care * Hair care | * Range anywhere from $2.00-$30.00+ (depends on product and market) | * Local grocery store, pharmacy, convenience store | * Coupons * Buy-one-get-one * “Real Beauty” campaign | As you can see above in the “Product” section, Dove sells anti-aging products.
America’s image of beauty has changed over the last 50 years. Mia Foley says, “America’s ideal women are thin.” One of the biggest sex icons of all time Marilyn Monroe was a size 12 but today in the year 2011, America’s media says a size 12 is too big. The fashion industry is very influential on the women of America. The fashion industry says what’s ‘hot’ and what’s ‘not’; that’s just the way it goes, even when it comes to a persons figure. Fashion industries and the media have the power of impact and models are the symbols of what women should look like in our Western world society.
Lisha Lin Dr. Jordan Stouck English 112 14 March 2012 Critique of Dove’s advertising “Evolution” The film “Evolution” by Dove, depicts how a makeup company reforms a ordinary girl, who looks far defined from supermodels, to become a perfect looking girl for their billboard advertisement via various changes both on the lady herself and post production (Unilever). The film criticizes the mass media have set the ideal body standard and ideal beauty of women as the stereotype which is unattained and prejudiced for year. The things people see from the media every day and the figures people has been admire all the time, are no longer reliable or true. The film has passed this message with a clever use of contrastive speed layout, and influential wording make the film highly effective to build Dove’s brand personality. Brand personality not only means assigning human’s personality traits or characteristic to a brand, but also features like age, gender and psychographic feature; it sets the feelings of customers about a brand.
Coca Cola has satisfaction surveys where frequent conversations are had with members, is one of the many means by which Coca Cola management can uncover substandard intrinsic touch points and then take steps to improve the relationship before any long-term damage is done. Unexpected touch points are the unexpected references or information about the company, a member or prospective member receives that cannot be directly controlled by the organization. The most powerful and influential example is personal communication. The common business jargon for this type of contact includes word-of-mouth or viral marketing as well as the more technologically oriented word-of-mouse communication. Buyers and non-buyers are likely to speak about Coca Cola with friends and family who share interests.
Dialogue with a family member and a stranger can be informal but communication within the workplace is much more proper. Companies consider project collaboration as good business practice so effective communication is a requirement for success.

By showing self confidence when dealing with different personalities that composed a team, the outcome of the task assigned is much more manageable to predict.
