Beauty Advertising – Message and Content Beauty Advertising – Message and Content An explanatory study and mapping of the global beauty market’s advertising execution. Stockholmzzzzz School of Economics, Philip Jonzon Jarl, 21036 ABSTRACT By an extensive analysis of TV commercials from 38 large brands and sub-brands from beauty segments skin care and color cosmetics, the thesis provides a mapping and an insight into beauty advertisement. This is done by exploring the connection between advertising strategy, message and creative content. A general connection was found where the dominating sales-oriented approach commonly was combined with informational strategies, reaffirming messages and a content with large product focus, information heavy copy and actively participating endorsers. The less frequent, more involvement-oriented approach was more commonly accompanied by transformational strategies, inspiring messages with emotional appeals where the content often was characterized by small product focus, emotional copy and passive endorsers. The latter approach was much more common in skin care, whereas brands in color cosmetics employed very similar strategies and execution of the first kind. Furthermore, a brief discussion was made on the potential societal impact and effect of beauty advertisement, where it can be argued, based on previous research, that the dominating sales-oriented approach with reaffirming messages has a negative effect on consumers’ self-esteem and self-respect. On the contrary, the adverts with inspiring messages can be argued having a positive effect on the same. Table of Contents 1.

  • Alternative Portrayals of Anorexia Nervosa and Its Symptoms on Pro
    Alternative portrayals of anorexia nervosa and its symptoms on pro-anorexic websites: a thematic analysis of website contents A research report submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree MA by coursework and research report in the field of Clinical Psychology In the faculty of humanities at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 21 November 2008 By: Lisa Nicole Cardoso Da Rocha Supervisor: Dr. Carol Long WORD COUNT: 25 828 1 Abstract The internet has become an invaluable source of medical information in the twenty first century. How some individuals have come to use this medium has created a stir among parents and the mental health community. One such use has been the promotion of anorexia nervosa as a healthy lifestyle choice on Pro-Anorexia (Ana) websites. These have become controversial spaces due to their presumed influence on both the initiation and maintenance of anorexia nervosa. Despite growing concern regarding the contents of Pro-Ana websites, limited research has been conducted in this area resulting in a lack of awareness of the role, contents and unique perspective contained on these sites. Therefore the purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how anorexia nervosa is alternatively portrayed on Pro-Ana websites and how this portrayal either maintains or challenges eating disordered symptomology. Thematic content analysis of the text contained on two of the most popular Pro-Ana websites yielded five major themes: perfection and control, pain and suffering, secrecy, exclusion and medical and psychological knowledge. The results suggested that there is a large discrepancy between the portrayal of anorexia nervosa on Pro-Ana websites as a healthy lifestyle choice and the current clinical perspective which views anorexia as a dangerous and fatal illness.

  • Front-Back Model
    THE FRONT-BACK MODEL: HOW DOES IT WORK? JAY GALBRAITH November 2005 The front-back structure, when it works, rests on three strong legs. First, there is a strong front-end focused on customer relationships, shopper insights and mastery of channels. Second, there is a strong global back-end based on products and brands, user insights and a global product development process. Less obvious and equally essential is strong leadership – the third leg linking the front and the back. Hewlett-Packard lags IBM because the company has not had the strong leadership to make the front-end an equal partner to the product lines. Carly Fiorina tried to be the link by herself, despite Board requests for a COO. Similarly when Procter & Gamble went to its Organization 2005, Jager tried to bridge the GBU-MDO gap by himself. He failed. He supported the GBUs, increased R&D spending and the MDOs were overwhelmed with new product launches. When Lafley took over, he immediately expanded top management capacity by adding a Vice-Chairman in charge of the MDOs. Driven in part by succession issues, Lafley has created four Vice-Chairmen in charge of clusters of GBUs (15 in total) and MDOs (7 in total). Jim Kilts, who is leading the P&G-Gillette integration, is the fifth Vice-Chairman. The result is sufficient enterprise management capacity to link the front and the back. The means by which this leadership is exercised is through the management processes and personal networks. The management processes are necessary because the front-back model is an interdependent system of profit centers.

    Megumi Taruta (1M151151-3) Graduation Thesis Definition of “Beauty” in Japan and the US and Portrayals of women’s roles in Makeup Video Advertisements of America and Japan ~Comparative Case Study on Cosmetic Brands: Maybelline New York and Maquillage ~ Graduation Thesis for Bachelors of Arts Degree Waseda University, School of International Liberal Studies, 2019 Megumi Taruta (1M151151-3) Professor Graham Law Media History/ Media Studies Seminar July 2019 1 Megumi Taruta (1M151151-3) Graduation Thesis Abstract This paper is written in order to achieve two aims: 1) find out the extent to which perceptions of beauty is similar in contemporary Japan and the US and 2) discover how the portrayals of women regarding their roles and lifestyles in recent beauty advertisements (within the last two decades) differ depending on different countries. It is a comparative case study on cosmetic brands using one brand for each country- Maybelline New York (the U.S) and Maquillage (Japan). The paper starts off with introducing the two brands by providing the history and the background information of each brand. Company information of the owners of the brands (L’Oréal and Shiseido) is also included. In addition, an overview of current makeup market in the US and Japan is also written as extra background information. The two brands are chosen due to many similarities making it a fair comparison. They are similar in terms of price, the target market and the fact that they are both owned by global beauty companies. In terms of definition of beauty, the analysis is divided into body parts: skin, lips and eyes- specifically, eyeshadow for the eyes.

  • In International Management the Replication Of
    Master’s Degree programme Second Cycle (D.M. 270/2004) in International Management Final Thesis The Replication of Strategic Format as Internationalization Method Calzedonia Case Supervisor Ch. Prof. Vladi Finotto Graduand Federica Giarola Matriculation Number 855683 Academic Year 2016 / 2017 ABSTRACT Business organizations may expand internationally by replicating part of their value chain, such as products, prices, marketing and communication tools, organizational structures and stores design through the creation of a format. However, it is difficult for replicators to find the right format, to adjust it in order to adapt to local environments and to transfer knowledge abroad. To dicover these issues, I studied the organizational structure of Calzedonia, the firm leader of underwear apparel, involving interested offices with long interviews. I find that Calzedonia, after a period of exploration, proceeded in terms of replicating a format in a flexible manner, supporting an ongoing learning process aimed to adapt what is flexible to the market. The format, in fact, presents two fundamental characteristics: fixed features used everywhere without modifications and flexible ones able to adapt locally. Another finding is how Calzedonia uses the format in its internationalization strategy, through franchising network. I conclude the thesis with an overview of the future challenges just approached by the firm: US and China markets. 1 CONTENTS AKNOWLEDGMENTS ...........................................................................................................
