WEEK 13 BLOG POST 1

The advertisement that caught my attention are the ones with bright colors and bold writing on the picture. Taco Bell was one of the first advertisements that popped up and soon as I opened it, the call to action was "download the taco bell" app. If you clicked the link it took you straight to the App Store where the app was located. They used an image of a guy on his phone eating a crunch wrap with a Baja blast soda. The advertisement was very effective because I wanted Taco Bell after looking at it. The most annoying ads are the ones that appear on my timeline after I just talked about it with a friend. I find it creepy that facebook listens to my conversations in order to sell me something. Traditional advertisement in newspapers were more bland and could easily be missed if someone didn't buy the paper. Billboards are an amazing way to advertise your business because people pay attention to those while driving. Depending on your audience social media and traditional advertising can both be effective.
