“Are Women Stereotyped in Adverts on Irish Television Channels & Do Irish
Barbara Curran The Stereotyping of women in Advertising September 2017 “Are women stereotyped in adverts on Irish television channels & do Irish women feel the current adverts represent them?” Submitted by: Barbara Curran September 2017 Submitted to the Department of Marketing, Tourism and Sport School of Business & Social Sciences Institute of Technology Sligo In partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Science in Marketing of the Institute of Technology Sligo Research Supervisor: Chris Sparks i M.Sc in Marketing Dissertation 2017 Barbara Curran The Stereotyping of women in Advertising September 2017 ASTRACT This research is to analyse the level of stereotyping in advertisements on Irish television channels, with particular emphasis on the stereotyping of women. It will also assess the use of a new trend in advertising called pro-female or ‘femvertising’. Femvertising is defined by SheKnows Media, as “advertising that employs pro-female talent, messages and imagery to empower women and girls”. Women have more dominant purchasing power, women’s economic influence as wealth creators and controllers continues to rise. Women’s global incomes are predicted to reach $18 trillion by 2018. Half of all products marketed to men are actually purchased by women (Skey, 2014). Thus marketing to women is changing, advertising campaigns now need to be diverse and inclusive. This thesis will review what’s driving this change and will analyse and assess Irish women perception of its use. The results revealed that traditional adverts showing women in stereotypical role are still the most dominant adverts on Irish television channels. More adverts show women in the home and in parenting roles then men.

Marketing Products from Local Livestock Breeds: an Analysis of Eight Cases
Animal Genetic Resources, 2010, 47, 59–71. © Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2010 doi:10.1017/S2078633610001001 Marketing products from local livestock breeds: an analysis of eight cases E. Mathias, P. Mundy and I. Köhler-Rollefson League for Pastoral Peoples and Endogenous Livestock Development (LPP), Pragelatostrasse 20, 64372 Ober-Ramstadt, Germany Summary Local breeds and minor species are hardy and able to thrive in harsh conditions. Their adaptive traits and unique characteristics (coloured wool or hides, extra-fine fibre, meat or milk with special tastes) offer opportunities for the marketing of speciality products and sustainable food production in marginal areas. This study discusses eight initiatives from Africa, Asia and Latin America that help communities to produce and market various products for niche markets: milk and dairy products from dromedaries; cashmere, wool and handicrafts from goats, sheep and Bactrian camels; and meat, meat products and handicrafts from goats and sheep. The main strategies were to seek new markets for existing or entirely new products (rather than trying to exploit existing markets). Most initiatives had some form of branding or labelling, and two had protected their products with geographical indications. Such marketing initiatives can be started with limited capital inputs but are skill and knowledge intensive. They require strong commitment to overcome seasonal fluctuations in production, the lack of infrastructure and services, and difficulties in institution building. But when well planned and carefully managed, they can help conserve breeds as well as provide a livelihood for people involved in the value chain, allowing actors earlier in the value chain – livestock keepers and small-scale processors – to capture a greater share of the value of the end product than they would by trying to serve a mass market.

REACHING NEW AUDIENCES THROUGH MULTICULTURAL MARKETING Kimberly Rodriguez, KeySpan Energy Delivery Krista Georges, KeySpan Energy Delivery Summary KeySpan Energy Delivery's corporate values include a commitment to respecting diversity and appreciating the differences within the company as well as in the communities where KeySpan serves. As the major natural gas provider to the greater Boston area, both the existing and prospective customer bases include diverse ethnic groups.

In April of 2004 KeySpan Energy Delivery New England (KED NE) formed a multicultural marketing team to address opportunities in markets of color. By aligning corporate initiatives with integrated, internal competencies, the team found immediate opportunities to engage diverse communities in a variety of programs ranging from human resources to energy efficiency. Over the past year the team’s efforts have included recruiting employee candidates with diverse backgrounds, sponsoring and participating in community events and cultural festivals, increasing awareness and respect for cultural diversity internally, as well as developing multi-lingual advertising and culturally responsive marketing material.

Ethnic Diversity, Decision Making Processes and the Marketing
Ethnic Diversity, Decision Making Processes and the Marketing Environment Thomas Tanner, [email protected]* Heather Kirkwood, [email protected] Abstract Diversity on many levels has been an important element in multinational organizations for the past several decades. Organizational leaders should make diversity a fundamental component in their decision-making process. More specifcally, this paper focuses on ethnic diversity in decision-making processes for companies looking to gain a competitive advantage in the marketing environment. This study reviews the constructs of ethnic identity and team cohesiveness and examines their signifcance as an input in how marketing decisions are made. The study will also highlight how ethnic diversity in decision-making processes can infuence consumer behavior and target market decisions for multinational organizations. This paper is a conceptual study that presents a theoretical framework on how diversity can be an integral component of the decision-making process. A conceptual framework will be provided that focuses on ethnic diversity, the decision making process and the impact on the marketing environment. It is important to note that consumer perspective will be incorporated into the framework to help highlight and defne the results of the decisions made by an ethnically diverse team. Abbreviated Literature Review Ethnic Identity & Diversity Simon and Rowland (2011) posited that most literature did not provide a clear defnition of diversity that immediately categorized and separated one form of diversity as positive and another form as negative. The authors found that most research did not provide a clear understanding of the types of diversity being examined. However, according to an earlier study, Cox and Blake (1991) found that most diversity being researched focused on demographic attributes, including “age, gender, race-ethnicity, and background.

Deepening Multicultural Marketing Instruction: the Universal and Temporal Dimensions of Ethnic Diversity
DEEPENING MULTICULTURAL MARKETING INSTRUCTION: THE UNIVERSAL AND TEMPORAL DIMENSIONS OF ETHNIC DIVERSITY E. Vincent Carter, California State University, Bakersfield ABSTRACT The rise of diverse ethnic consumer segments in the United States has made multicultural marketing a mainstay in the American university curriculum. Although multicultural topics contribute to marketing courses, textbooks, and learning objectives are often limited to examining the breadth of ethnic diversity. This study draws upon 10 years of teaching a multicultural marketing course module to propose a depth of diversity method which augments conventional profiles of ethnic breadth. Course findings suggest that allowing students to explore the deeper universal and temporal dimension of ethnicity imparts a more holistic appreciation of different cultural versions, as well as an ability to chronologically envision the multicultural experience of historical and pre-historical periods. As a result, students reported a more authentic and original ethnic brand project experience. However, the depth of diversity method addresses the narrow managerial instruction goal of improving multicultural marketing competences that create brand value relationships with ethnic American customers. Neither the multicultural education literature nor global/cross-cultural ethnic marketing studies are explicitly advanced, although regarded as complementary research veins. Consequently, a timely and tenable multicultural marketing course module is offered to marketing educators engaging an increasingly diverse ethnic market. INTRODUCTION: FRESH MULTICULTURAL Ethnic diversity trends are blending marketing edu- MARKETING TRENDS cation curricula as well.

Advertising and Consumerism by Erica Rand
Advertising and Consumerism by Erica Rand Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Does being glbtq-identified make you part of a consumer group? Can you express your sexual or gender identity through your choice of a phone service or beverage? What are the politics of the idea that you are what you buy, eat, drive, or wear? This discussion examines two related issues in relation to glbtq people and the market: advertising and consumerism. Advertising Advertisers have long directed their ads to particular people. For example, since the early days of modern mass advertising in the late nineteenth century, many ads have targeted women, who were early recognized as the primary purchasers of many products ranging from food to clothing. It was not until a century later, however, during a period when advertisers also increasingly worked to segment the market based on other identity features such as race and ethnicity, that producers of goods and services began to seek out lesbian, gay, and bisexual consumers through advertising directed to them. Advertisers have used several strategies to reach sexual minorities. They have advertised in gay and lesbian publications. As Dan Baker reports in "A History in Ads: The Growth of the Lesbian and Gay Market," Absolut Vodka led the way when it placed an ad in the Advocate in 1979. Companies have also used direct mail campaigns. For example, in 1994 a mailing from AT&T, in a lavender envelope with a rainbow-colored phone cord, was directed to 70,000 people whose names were provided by Strubco, a company that specializes in brokering gay and lesbian mailing lists.

Not only are they influencing pop culture, entertainment and cuisine, but they are also driving significant changes in corporate board rooms and evolving the marketing industry. Today, marketing strategies are under great scrutiny in response to the explosive growth of multicultural populations. As many companies seek to reconcile and recalibrate efforts toward multiple market segments, questions arise with regards to the potential of defining and addressing a Total Market Strategy. In an effort to study the evolution and determine the most effective approaches to mining growth from Hispanic and multicultural segments, AHAA: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing is conducting a three- phased study to explore a clearer definition and industry standard of the “Total Market” approach and identify best practices for advertisers and marketing services firms. Yesterday, at the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) Annual Multicultural & Diversity Marketing Conference, AHAA revealed preliminary findings and broad trends from the first phase, which centered on data from an online survey of 321 marketing professionals from client-side, general and multicultural specialized ad agencies, media buying agencies, public relations and consulting firms. “We wanted to develop an unbiased ‘state of the marketing industry’ report collecting data and observations from leading large- and mid-sized marketers across multiple categories to report intelligence that can be applied industry-wide,” said Aldo Quevedo, chair of AHAA and principal & creative director of Richards/Lerma.
