The objective of this study is to conduct a marketing mix modeling to measure the effectiveness of past marketing activities on the product sales using a time-varying effect model (TVEM) approach. The longitudinal intensive data for this study has come from a large ice cream manufacturer in USA. Traditionally, static regression models have been used to measure the effectiveness of marketing mix variables to predict sales. And, these models used to find the time independent effect of the covariate on the dependent variable. On the other hand, a dynamic model such as time-varying effect model takes time into consideration. Researchers can model the changes in the relationship between dependent and independent variables over time using time-varying effect model. This is the first study, where a time-varying effect model approach has been used to measure the effectiveness of marketing mix elements in the ice cream industry. In addition, we have compared the predictive validity of both static and dynamic models using this data set.

Tesis (MComm)--Stellenbosch University, 1991. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study examines the effect of involvement and background music in television commercials on consumers' attitudes toward the commercial, their attitude toward the brand and their intension to buy that spesific brand. Involvement refers to type of involvement (cognitive vs affective) and the level of involvement (high vs low). The planning of the experiment had been done according to research projects in the past. A commercial with different soundtracks was viewed by different subjects. Thereafter they completed a questionniare. The members of the different groups were subjected to different manipulations. The results indicated that background music in commercials have a significant influence on consumers' attitudes towards the commercial. (cognitive vs affective) had a on consumers' attitudes towards the a significant relationship between commercial , attitude toward the brand Type of involvement significant influence brand. There was attitude toward the and intension to buy. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie navorsing is die gesamentlike invloed wat agtergrondmusiek en betrokkenheid in advertensies uitoefen op die kyker se houding teenoor die advertensie, houding teenoor die handelsmerk en koopintensie ondersoek. Betrokkenheid verwys na tipe betrokkenheid (kognitief vs affektief) en vlak van betrokkenheid (hoog vs laag). Daar is gebruik gemaak van In laboratorium eksperiment om hierdie invloede te bepaal. Die beplanning van die eksperiment is gedoen na aanleiding van verskillende navorsingsprojekte wat in die verlede gedoen is. In Advertensie met verskillende klankbane is aan groepe proefpersone vertoon waarna hulle In vraelys voltooi het. Elkeen van die groepe (12) was aan verskillende eksperimentele manipulasies onderworpe. Hierna is die vraelyste gekodeer en die data statisties verwerk. Dit is gevind dat agtergrondmusiek In beduidende invloed op verbruikers se houding teenoor In advertensie uitoefen. Tipe betrokkenheid het ook In beduidende invloed op verbruikers se houding teenoor die handelsmerk uitgeoefen. Verder is In beduidende positiewe verband tussen houding teenoor advertensie, houding teenoor handelsmerk en koopintensie gevind.

Essas transformações no modelo de negócio analógico, que traz a publicidade nos intervalos comerciais e a pluralidade de novos caminhos que a televisão digital possibilita, levam-nos a pensar sobre as direções que a publicidade irá tomar, isso porque a partir do momento que o telespectador tem a possibilidade de escapar do comercial, a publicidade e a propaganda terão de pensar uma nova forma de chamar a atenção, atrair e conquistar o telespectador, porque o atual modelo de negócio não comportará as novas possibilidades da televisão digital, buscando nova forma de patrocínio e financiamento. A fim de explorar a relação, publicidade e público no novo modelo de nogócio, encontramos o advertainment que, segundo palavras de Walter Longo, promove a sinergia entre emoção e informação, integração de marcas e produtos no ambiente editorial dos veículos de comunicação (LONGO). Isso se faz necessário, porque com a implantação do Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão Digital Terrestre (SBTVD-T), os telespectadores serão participativos, definindo e assistindo ao que desejam, na hora e local em que desejam com a nova plataforma. É nessa conjuntura que surgem as preocupações das agências de publicidade e propaganda, ao perceberem que o telespectador pode simplesmente não assistir a um determinado comercial, ou mesmo ignorar todo o bloco de publicidade / The transformations are occurring due to advance of Information and Communication Technologies and providing breaking paradigms, modifying the way we watch television, and this therefore affects the business model of the media which will be changed, because the TV grid concept won't be a priority, so the advertising spaces lose their main reason, and in order to keep adversitisers as sponsors, the TV manages are bringing the commercials into the shows. These changes in the analog business model that brings advertisement in commercial breaks and a plurality of new ways that digital television provides, leads us to think about the directions that the advertisements will take. From that moment the viewer has the possibility to scape from the commercial, advertising and propaganda have to think a new way to draw attention, attract and capture the viewer, because the current business model does not contain the new possibilities of digital television, trying new form of sponsorship and funding. In order to explore the relation between advertisement and public in a new business model, we found the advertainment which in Walter Longo's words the advertainment promotes synergy between emotion and information, brands and products integration in the editorial environment of the media. (LONGO). It is necessary because with the implementation of the Brazilian System of Digital Terrestrial Television (SBTVD-T) viewers will be participatory, setting and watching what, when and where they want with the new plataform. It appears at this conjuncture the concerns about advertisers and advertising, when it is realized that the viewer cannot simply watch a particular commercial, or even ignore the entire commercial break

This research study aimed to provide the South African beer industry and their advertising representative with insights into 18-28-year-olds’ perceptions of the communicated messaged in beer advertisements. This included the use of social and cultural references to attract their attention and the suggestions made by the advertisements about the consumption of beer in certain contexts. This research study aimed to determine the selected sample’s (NMMU students) perceptions of four South African Breweries beer brands, namely Castle Lager, Castle Lite, Carling Black Label and Hansa Pilsener, in terms of their use of references to social and cultural identity of males and females in South Africa within their television advertisements. The survey questionnaire helped determine what the selected sample’s perceptions were of each advertisement, and whether they fully understood the desired communicated message. It also helped to understand whether each advertisement captured their attention. A semiotic analysis of each advertisement was conducted to deconstruct the advertisements and to determine if they do contain elements of social and cultural identity in an attempt to sell products to their target audiences, or to affect the perceptions of the brand and drinking beer in general. This was achieved by examining the signs and imagery in each advertisement, looking specifically at the representamen, interpretant and object using Pierce’s model of a sign. / Hierdie navorsingstudie is daarop gemik om die Suid-Afrikaanse bierbedryf en sy adverteerders ‘n beter begrip te gee van verbruikers tussen die ouderdomme van 18-28, se waarnemings van die boodskappe in bieradvertensies. Dit sluit in die gebruik van sosiale en kulturele verwysings, wat veronderstel is om die verbruikers se aandag te trek, asook die suggesties wat deur die advertensies gemaak word met betrekking tot die verbruik van bier in ‘n bepaalde konteks. Die studie moes ook die gekose monster (“selected sample”), nl. die NMMU-student se persepsies bepaal van vier handelsname van die South African Breweries, naamlik Castle Lager, Castle Lite, Carling Black Label en Hansa Pilsener, en in watter mate daar in bieradvertensies oor die televisie verwys word na die sosiale en kulturele identiteit van Suid-Afrikaanse mans en vroue. Die meningspeiling het die groep se waarnemings van elke advertensie, asook of die boodskap wat gekommunikeer is ten volle verstaan word, ondersoek. Die vraelys kon ook vasstel of die advertensies hulle aandag getrek het. ‘n Semiotiese ontleding van elke advertensie is gedoen, om die advertensies te dekodeer en sodoende vas te stel of die adverteerders elemente van sosiale en kulturele identiteit gebruik het om hul produkte aan die teikenmarkte te verkoop, of om die idees rondom die handelsnaam en bier oor die algemeen te beïnvloed. Aan die hand van Peirce se semiotiese model is die tekens en beelde in elke advertensie bestudeer.

The first chapter describes the general theoretical basis of this thesis. The second and third chapter deals with the specifics of male and female identity. The fourth chapter describes the research method of content analysis and presents the objectives and research hypotheses. The analytical part of the work examines the representation of men and women in television commercials at two levels - at the level of main characters, and at the level of commercials. The final part of the analytical part interprets the research results of analysis.

The globalization of the market place is arguably the most important challenge facing companies. Globilization affects consumer behavior and attitudes in many ways, in that they transcend national borders. Thus, a major challenge facing the international marketer is to identify global market segments and reach them with products, marketing programs, and advertising messages that meet the common needs of the consumers.
