In Taiwan, there is an increasing number of people using the Internet. Advertising firms have noticed the change in consumer behavior, and thus are investing a lot of money on online advertising. The biggest difference between advertising on televisions and advertising on the Internet is the¡ymotivation¡z. All of these video advertising will not only show on television. Video advertising audiences will gradually move to online video advertising. These are the findings from our research: 1.The motives of online audiences, their means of viewing the advertisement and the post-viewing actions are largely related to each other. Different motives also bring differences to the affected motives, attitudes, actions and the impact of the advertising. 2.Most of the time, advertisements that are interesting and humorous, have a storyline, or have valuable information are largely related to the attitudes of the consumers. 3.Consumers with positive attitudes would want to share the advertisements and their effects,whereas consumers with negative attitudes will not take any actions. Neither would the advertisement bring much of an impact. 4.When sharing the positive feedback, the viewers shared that the advertisements make a great impression on them. The advertisements also confirm whatever they know about the product. After that, branding of the product and the viewers¡¦willingness to buy the product are also factors. However, the research discovered that many of the interviewed subjects prefer television advertisements over online advertisements.

In this research, I examine selected commercial videos promoting the American corporations Coca-Cola and McDonald's in the Russian market over the period 2007-2010. Proceeding on the assumption that the selected videos are typical TV commercials utilized by these two companies in the Russian market, my major goal is to determine the ways in which the ads attempt to make the given products appealing to Russian consumers. I found that the video ads of these two corporations revealed a strategy aimed at avoiding negative attitudes against the products (and their potential profits) because of their strong identification with America and everything that America might represent to Russian consumers. This challenge is complicated because a segment of the potential market, principally young people, undoubtedly would not mind an association with American values and would generally respond favorably to American and broad cosmopolitan (foreign, non-Russian) interests. Moreover, creating ads with exclusively Russian themes (for example, from folklore) could potentially reach customers in other segments of the population less enamored of American products. The challenge facing both companies was to make a foreign product acceptable and appealing to a Russian market. The strategies they used to do this are worth examining for the sake of obtaining insights into successful advertising campaigns in Russia in particular and in foreign cultures in general. Analyses will yield conclusions that may be useful to psychologists, linguists, cultural historians and members of other disciplines involved in advertising design and business strategies.

This study has examined how young people who are in their final year of upper secondary school experience and perceive the Swedish Armed Force's advertisements by finding what the Swedish Armed Forces has chosen to represent in the two selected commercials that the study examines. Using the theory of representation along with denotation and connotation in a detailed image analysis of images taken from the respective commercials, representations have been extracted. These representations that have been found from the image analysis includes; tradition, defense, “action and the soldier” as well as “camaraderie and fellowship”. In order to get answers on how the high school students experience and perceive the representations, a focusgroup has been carried out where the students have been given different basic questions according to each theme to discuss afterwards. The theory of encoding and decoding has been used to analyze the results that have occurred based on what the high school students have answered to the various questions. The theory has been used to understand how the Armed Forces has encoded their representations and how high school students decode them if they assume a negotiating position, an opposition or if they agree with the various representations that the Armed Forces may have represented in the commercials. The results have shown that high school students mostly have a negotiating position. They can understand what is represented, however, it is mixed in what position they take. The theme of tradition, however, they could only see in relation to the graduation. Opinions and how they perceive the representation are different depending on the person, but in general it has been similar to each other. What happened and was mentioned relatively often was a form of fear for life. That is, they can risk their lives in the Armed Forces, which led to an oppositional position in certain representations. In general, high school students appreciated the Armed Forces more after seeing the commercials. High school students take a some what advantageous position around the community and educational opportunities.
