 Before you read
 Think of your own definition of the word ‘art’. What would you call ‘art’ and what does
not deserve this name?
 Find the best definition of the word ‘art’ in a dictionary (encyclopedia).
 Do you think that the word ‘art’ is applicable to advertising? Give reasons for your
answer.
Ads, The Sponsored Art of Capitalism
Commercial speech – advertising –
makes up most of what we share as a
culture. No one is happy about this, not even
the people who make it. They call it clutter;
the rest of us call the current glut of
advertising by worse names. But, call it
what you will, language about products and
services has pretty much replaced language
about all other subjects.
As the language of commercialism has
become louder, the language of high culture
has become quieter; it seems to be ending
not with a bang but with a whimper. We all
know the funeral refrain: The canon of
recognized literary works, the shared
vocabulary of known lines, our cultural
literacy, the allusions to hundreds of years of
‘the best that has been thought and said’ has
all but disappeared thanks to “a few words
from the sponsor”.
Ask anyone under the age of fifty to fill
in the blank in what was the most famous
line in the nineteen-century poetry,
Wordsworth’s “My heart leaps up when I
behold a …….in the sky.” Few can do it
(it’s “rainbow” in case you are wondering).
But ask the same group what’s in a Big Mac
and you’ll hear, “Two all-beef patties,
special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and
onions on a sesame-seed bun.” It’s sad to
say that more of us know Morris the cat than
William Morris.
Generation X is the first generation to
know the world almost entirely through
advertising. A famous New Yorker cartoon
has a father saying to his son while looking
up at a rainbow: “It isn’t advertising
anything, dammit!”
In 1915 it was perfectly possible to go
entire weeks without observing an ad. When
your grandparents were growing up in the
1950s, just as television was entering the
bloodstream, ads were confined to distinct
“pods” and everyone knew where they were.
No longer. The average young adult today
sees some 5,000 ads each day, in almost
every minute, in almost every place. The
only ad-free refuge is sleep and prayer.
As awful as it may seem, when young
people around the world are asked what
freedom means, most of them say the
freedom to buy what you want, when you
ant it, and to use it how you want.
On Madison Avenue it is often said that
we consume the advertising not the product,
that we drink the commercial not the beer,
drive the nameplate not the car, smoke the
jingle not the cigarette. There is no doubt
that such a system is wasteful; devoid of
otherworldly concerns, it lives for today and
celebrates the body. It certainly encourages
recklessness, living beyond one’s means,
gambling. Consumer culture is always new
and improved, always bigger and better,
always loud, always without a past and with
a perpetually rosy future.
But the idea that advertising creates
artificial desires rests on a wistful ignorance
of history and human nature, on the hazy,
romantic feeling that there existed some
halcyon era of noble savages with purely
natural needs. Once we are fed and
sheltered, our needs are and have always
been cultural, not natural. Until there is
some other system to codify and satisfy
those needs and yearnings, commercialism –
and the culture it carries with it – will
continue not just to thrive but to triumph.

The American Marketing Association defines a brand as a "Name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that
identifies one seller's good or service as distinct from those of other sellers." A brand is thus a product or service
whose dimensions differentiate it in some ways from other products or services designed to satisfy the same need.
Brands are spread through various elements:

Name: The word or words used to identify the company, product, service, concept
Logo: The visual trademark that identifies the brand
Tagline or Catchphrase: "The Quicker Picker Upper" is associated with Bounty; "Can you hear me

Shapes: The distinctive shape of the Coca-Cola bottle or the Volkswagen Beetle are trademarked
elements of those brands.
Graphics: The dynamic ribbon is also a trademarked part of Coca-Cola's brand.

The Marlboro Man
Somewhere, there exists an America
inhabited solely by characters from product
advertising campaigns. Imagine Mr. Clean
taking up residence in our country's kitchens,
resting his bald pate in the broom closet and
renting out cabinet space to the Jolly Green
Giant, who rumbles off to tend the farmlands
with the dawn.
In such a landscape, a single character would
surely dominate the American West. The
California Raisins might occupy the Hollywood
hills, but from the Rocky Mountains to the
Mississippi, no one could lasso customers like
the Marlboro Man. While he may not be one of
the most beloved characters, the Marlboro Man
was a fixture of our culture for decades. When it
came to selling cigarettes, the cowboy got the
job done.
In the 1920s, Marlboro was first advertised as
a premium cigarette for women, a milder version
of the smokes well-dressed men might puff on
after dinner. But the brand never took hold, and
by the 1950s concerns over the connection
between smoking and cancer drove many
smokers to filtered brands. Philip Morris didn't
have a filtered cigarette, so it scrapped the old
campaign in favor of re-launching Marlboro as
the company's filtered alternative.
After deciding to introduce filters to the
brand, Marlboro executives still had the brand's
feminine image to deal with. It didn't help that
filtered cigarettes were considered softer
versions of the real thing, cigarettes for sissies.
For help, Marlboro turned to Leo Burnett's
advertising company. In a 1972 documentary,
Burnett recalled the brainstorming session in
which they stumbled upon their icon.
I said, 'What's the most masculine symbol
you can think of?' And right off the top of his
head one of these writers spoke up and said a
cowboy. And I said, 'That's for sure.'"
The first Marlboro men weren't limited to
cowboys. They were all sorts of rugged
individuals who smoked their cigarettes while
performing equally manly tasks, from fixing
their cars to fishing or hunting.
By 1957, Marlboro's sales were skyrocketing.
Unfortunately for Philip Morris, however, 1957
also brought with it one of the first rounds of
negative publicity. A study published in
Reader's Digest linked smoking with cancer.
In response, Marlboro once again turned to
show its softer side. But this time it made sure to
do so in a way that might retain the masculine
appeal the company had worked so hard to
cultivate, while calming the nerves of anxious
smokers. Instead of focusing on the mysterious
tattooed Marlboro Man, it turned the camera to
sultry singer Julie London, who would share a
smoke with her lucky male companion in
between verses of the dreamy new "Settle Back
With a Marlboro" theme.
smoke, lasted for a while. But as American
politics became more complicated in the 1960s,
Jack Landry, the Marlboro brand manager at
Philip Morris, saw an opening into which the
cowboy fit like a glove.
"In a world that was becoming increasingly
complex and frustrating for the ordinary man,"
Landry explained, "the cowboy represented an
antithesis – a man whose environment was
simplistic and relatively pressure free. He was
his own man in a world he owned."
Marlboro's television advertisements in the
'60s reflected the idea of freedom in wide-open
spaces, especially once the theme from the
movie The Magnificent Seven was added to the
scenes of cowboys leading their herds through
dusty canyons of "Marlboro Country".
Part of the success of the campaign might be
attributable to the fact that Marlboro forged
some credibility by using real cowboys in some
of the ads instead of actors just playing the part.
The image took hold with enough force that
even through a ban on televised tobacco
advertisements that began in 1971, the Marlboro
Man survived unharmed. Instead of riding off
into the sunset, the image turned up in print ads
and on billboards all over the country.
While a government ban couldn't kill the
Marlboro Man, the instrument that ended up
doing the trick was the product itself. Two
Marlboro men, Wayne McLaren and David
McLean, died of lung cancer, but not before
McLaren could testify in favor of anti-smoking
legislation.

 Study the definition given in the box #1. Use your dictionary if necessary. Compare
your definition with the definition in the box #1.
PR (Public Relations) is an aspect of communications that involves promoting a desirable
image for a person or group seeking public attention. It originated in the U.S. in the early 20th
century with pioneers such as Edward L. Bernays and Ivy Ledbetter Lee. Government
agencies in Britain and the U.S. soon began hiring publicists to engineer support for their
policies and programs, and the public-relations business boomed after World War II.
Clients may include individuals such as politicians, performers, and authors, and groups
such as business corporations, government agencies, charities, and religious bodies.
The audience addressed may be as narrow as male alternative-music fans between the
ages of 21 and 30 or as broad as the world at large. A publicist's functions include generating
favorable publicity and knowing what kind of story is likely to be printed or broadcast. The
task is complicated by the variety of existing media: besides newspapers, magazines, radio,
and television, there are publications of professional associations, direct-mail lists, on-site
promotional events, and so on. It consists largely of optimizing good news and forestalling
bad news; if disaster strikes, the publicist must assess the situation, organize the client's
response so as to minimize damage, and marshal and present information to the media.

The phrase spin doctor entered British and American political vocabulary during the late
1980s and its meaning is captured broadly in Chambers 21st Century Dictionary as ‘someone,
especially in politics who tries to influence public opinion by putting a favourable bias
information presented to the public or to the media’. The term has a strongly pejorative
implication, suggesting that the spin placed on information is misleading and may be
consciously intended to be so: spin doctors manipulate rather than merely manage news
agendas.

Edward Bernays
Edward Bernays (1891 - 1995) is
regarded by many as the “father of public
relations”.
Born in Vienna, Bernays was a nephew
of Sigmund Freud, the father of
psychoanalysis, and his public relations
efforts helped popularize Freud’s theories in
the United States. Bernays also pioneered the
PR industry’s use of psychology and other
social sciences to design its public
persuasion campaigns. “If we understand the
mechanism and motives of the group mind, it
is now possible to control and regiment the
masses according to our will without their
knowing it,” Bernays argued. He called this
scientific technique of opinion molding the
“engineering of consent.”
One of Bernays's favorite techniques
for manipulating public opinion was the
indirect use of “third party authorities” to
plead for his clients’ causes. “If you can
influence the leaders, either with or without
their
conscious
cooperation,
you
automatically influence the group which they
sway,” he said. In order to promote sales of
bacon, for example, he conducted a survey of
physicians
and
reported
their
recommendation that people eat hearty
breakfasts. He sent the results of the survey
to 5,000 physicians, along with publicity
touting bacon and eggs as a hearty breakfast.
Bernays’s clients included President
Calvin Coolidge, Procter & Gamble, CBS,
the American Tobacco Company, General
Electric, Dodge Motors Beyond his
contributions to these famous and powerful
clients, Bernays revolutionized public
relations by combining traditional press
agentry with the techniques of psychology
and sociology to create what one writer has
called “the science of ballyhoo.”
PR industry historian Scott Cutlip
describes Bernays as “perhaps public
relations’ most fabulous and fascinating
individual, a man who was bright, articulate
to excess, and most of all, an innovative
thinker and philosopher of this vocation that
was in its infancy when he opened his office
in New York in June 1919.” Much of
Bernays's reputation today stems from his
persistent public relations campaign to build
his own reputation as “America’s No. 1
Publicist.” During his active years, many of
his peers in the industry were offended by
Bernays’s
continuous
self-promotion.
According to Cutlip, “Bernays was a brilliant
person who had a spectacular career, but, to
use an old-fashioned word, he was a
braggart.”
“When a person would first meet
Bernays,” says Cutlip, “it would not be long
until Uncle Sigmund would be brought into
the conversation. His relationship with Freud
was always in the forefront of his thinking
and his counseling.” According to Irwin
Ross, another writer, “Bernays liked to think
of himself as a kind of psychoanalyst to
troubled corporations.” In the early 1920s,
Bernays arranged for the US publication of
an English-language translation of Freud’s
General Introduction to Psychoanalysis. In
addition to publicizing Freud’s ideas,
Bernays used his association with Freud to
establish his own reputation as a thinker and
theorist – a reputation that was further
enhanced when Bernays authored several
landmark texts of his own, most notably
Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923) and
“The Engineering of Consent” (1947) .
Bernays defined the profession of
“counsel on public relations” as a “practicing
social scientist” whose “competence is like
that of the industrial engineer, the
management engineer, or the investment
counselor in their respective fields.” To assist
clients, PR counselors used “understanding
of the behavioral sciences and applying them
–
sociology,
social
psychology,
anthropology, history, etc.” In Propaganda,
his most important book, Bernays argued that
the scientific manipulation of public opinion
was necessary to overcome chaos and
conflict in society.
Bernays’s celebration of propaganda
helped define public relations, but it didn't
win the industry many friends. In a letter to
President Franklin Roosevelt, Supreme Court
Justice Felix Frankfurter described Bernays
and Ivy Lee as “professional poisoners of the
public mind, exploiters of foolishness,
fanaticism and self-interest.” And history
itself showed the flaw in Bernays’s claim
that “manipulation of the masses” is natural
and necessary in a democratic society. The
fascist rise to power in Germany
demonstrated that propaganda could be used
to subvert democracy as easily as it could be
used to “resolve conflict.”
In his autobiography, titled Biography
of an Idea, Bernays recalls a dinner at his
home in 1933 where a German journalist was
telling him about Goebbels and his
propaganda plans to consolidate Nazi power.
Goebbels had shown the journalist his
propaganda library, the best he had ever
seen. Goebbels was using Bernays’s book
Crystallizing Public Opinion as a basis for
his destructive campaign against the Jews of
Germany. This shocked Bernays. Obviously
the attack on the Jews of Germany was no
emotional outburst of the Nazis, but a
deliberate, planned campaign.
Bernays is held in high regard even
today, and was named as one of the 1000
most influential people of all time.

"I was positively uninterested in the dance."
When Bernays took on Diaghilev's
Ballet Russes American tour in 1915, he
wrote, "I was given a job about which I
knew nothing. In fact, I was positively
uninterested in the dance." He wasn't alone.
Americans thought masculine dancers were
deviates, and that "dancing was not nice,"
and of limited interest.
Bernays began to connect ballet to
something people understood and enjoyed.
"First, as a novelty in art forms, a unifying
of several arts; second, its appeal to special
groups; third, its direct impact on American
life, on design and color in American
products; and fourth, its personalities."
Beginning with newspapers, Bernays
developed a four-page newsletter for
editorial writers, local managers and others,
containing photographs and stories of
dancers, costumes, and composers. Articles
were targeted to his four themes and
audiences. For example, the "women's
pages" received articles on costumes, fabric,
and fashion design; the Sunday supplements
received full-color photos.
Magazine coverage, timed to appear just
before the ballet opened, was his next
approach. Bernays tailored his stories to his
editors. When Ladies Home Journal said
that they couldn't show photographs of
dancers with skirts above the knees, he had
artists retouch photos to bring down the
hem. His abilities to understand editors'
needs resulted in wide coverage: The
American Hebrew, Collier's, Craftsman,
Every Week, Harper's Weekly, Hearst
Magazines,
Harper's
Bazaar,
The
Independent, Ladies Home Journal, Literary
Digest, Munsey's, Musical America, Opera,
Physical Culture, Strand, Spur, Town &
Country, Vanity Fair, Vogue, and Woman's
Home Companion.
Bernays created an 81-page userfriendly publicity guide for advance men* to
use on the tour. When a national story about
the Ballet Russes appeared, advance men
could tailor it for local coverage. The guide
contained mimeographed pages, bios on the
dancers, short notes and fillers, and even a
question and answer page that asked, "Are
American men ashamed to be graceful?"
He persuaded American manufacturers
to make products inspired by the color and
design of the sets and costumes, and national
stores to advertise them. These styles
became so popular that Fifth Avenue stores
sold these products without Bernays's
intervention. Bernays used overseas media
reviews to heighten anticipation for the
dancers. When they arrived at the docks in
New York, a crowd was waiting. Bernays
then took photos of the eager crowds and
placed them in Sunday magazines
throughout the country. The ballet was sold
out before the opening. By the time the
ballet toured American cities, demand had
already dictated a second tour and little girls
were dreaming of becoming ballerinas.
Bernays had remolded biases to get his story
told. The American view of ballet and dance
was changed forever.
