Dear Thuy,
Trả lờiXóaYour entry is rather interesting. From my personal point of view, i would like to give you some comments:
First, the evaluation section requires us to give some specific comments on the ad's advertising effectiveness. We should make it clear how the ad can help to sell a great sale of the product. We should not give such a too general evaluation like "it's very interesting", "it is very impressive" or something like that but we should clarify how effective the ad is and what it can bring to the company, whether it can help bring a great benefit or not.
Second, in the 1st item, you should make its context more specific because it can cause confusion. "Modern life" means modern life everywhere, even in Vietnam! but actually it doesn't. In execution style section, you should add mood, lifestyle and overstatement.
Finally, in the 2nd item, as what i can see in the ad, i can not find such benefits that you have listed out: Neutra-Activ, Antiperspirant, Deodorant, 24 hours performance. When analyzing an ad, we should not get too fat from what it says.
Enjoy your work!
Actually, product attributes such as Neutra-Activ, Antiperspirant, Deodorant, 24 hours performance were printed on the brand of product. The image of product at the right top is quite small, so that you cannot see them is easy to understand
Trả lờiXóaI agree with Hien about the context of item 1. You should make it clearer. The ad is only suitable in some certain countries but not all. In Viet Nam, it's rather unacceptable!^^
Trả lờiXóaI think overstatement is other rhetorical device in item 2.The parrot cannot die only because of suffering bad foot odour.
