Personal and professional qualities of the specialist in the field of advertising.Advertising is all about the art of persuasion, of selling products and services. An advertiser is a salesperson creating sales for business by making people want to buy things. It is one of the most visible activities is our modern life. We are surrounded by ads all the time. When we turn on the TV or Radio, open a newspaper or magazine, or go online, we see the handiwork of advertising. If you are an advertising professional, it is your job to create these advertisements and marketing campaigns. In our digital world the advertisement industry is becoming more and more profitable. However, to take your first steps in this field and succeed, you need to possess a range of skills. So, apart from having a great work ethic, thick skin and being social media savvy, what other key skills do you need to have to work in this exciting industry? All the skills required for effective promotion can be roughly divided into two categories:Hard skills. These include professional and practical skills and abilities that help an advertiser to efficiently execute specific tasks: launching ad campaigns, optimizing the promotion process, testing different approaches, etc. Hard skills can be developed, improved, and also assessed through testing.Soft skills. These are various personal qualities of an advertiser as an individual. For example: stress resistance, discipline, punctuality, etc. Soft skills directly influence how an advertiser will react in different situations, and they directly affect relationships within the team. You can improve soft skills as well.It is crucial to understand that both hard and soft skills are equally important for an advertiser. Ideally, soft skills should complement hard skills, enabling advertisers to be more flexible in decision-making and find new effective approaches to promote any goods and services. Hard Skills include:Theoretical KnowledgeA basic understanding of the theory and principles of product promotion on the internet and in all kinds of media is considered a mandatory skill. To achieve certain levels of success, advertisers must know the terms and concepts of paid advertising and internet marketing in general. Theoretical knowledge also includes understanding the specifics and method of evaluating basic metrics that impact the advertiser’s profit. An advertiser must not only understand the principles of launching and evaluating campaigns but also know which parameters’ alteration can affect the final outcome.Promotion SkillsThe skill of setting up and launching ad campaigns is one of the key hard skills for an advertiser. Promotion skills encompass not only the technical aspect of launching ad campaigns but also how the advertiser structures the workflow from within. It’s important to understand where the preparation of an advertising campaign starts, which elements of the scheme will be tested, and what successes can be achieved in promotion. Tool ProficiencyPromoting goods and services implies using a specific set of tools necessary for successful launches. Advertisers need to understand the principles of using trackers, postbacks, spy services, and be aware of their functionality.Copywriting and DesignCreatives are one of the key elements of an ad campaign. Advertisers regularly have to create or customize advertisements for maximum effectiveness in promotion. This is why basic copywriting (text and headline) and design (visual aspect) skills are crucial for advertisers. In a team setting, these tasks can be delegated to designers and copywriters who specialize in creating images and texts. However, when working solo, the tasks will have to be performed by the advertiser.Foreign LanguagesAn important, but not always mandatory, skill for an advertiser is proficiency in foreign languages. In your work, you will come across creatives, landing pages, and affiliate networks whose original language may differ from your native one. Of course, you can always use a translator or neural network. However, for better contextual understanding and finding more effective promotion strategies, understanding the language in which the promotion is planned is the preferable option.Soft skills include:— Creativity — It is essential to have bags of creativity and be equipped with an endless array of ideas that you can pick from your brain during an intense brainstorming session, especially when working in a field that involves creating eye-catching content. Having a creative personality and imaginative ideas will allow you to create content that can grab the consumers’ attention in an often-oversaturated market. — Team work — Creating a successful advertising campaign takes a team of talented professionals, so having the ability to work as part of a team is crucial. Account managers, creatives and marketing executives are required to routinely put their heads together and develop imaginative content while also ensuring that the client’s needs are being met. The collaborative effort of those involved in a project will ultimately determine its success. Having the ability to take criticism (even when you think your idea is amazing) and incorporate other peoples’ ideas into your own vision is part and parcel of working as part of a team of creatives.- Effective communication skills are essential, both when you are pitching an idea to your team and during your regular discussions with clients which involve lots of back-and-forth and frequent correspondences. Whether you’re having a discussion with your team or presenting a project to a client, having the ability to convey information clearly is crucial, especially in an industry that is all about selling yourself and your pitch.- While communication skills are indeed important, the ability to actively listen is also crucial. You have to be in contact with various people, including your colleagues and clients, who will relay project details or pitch their ideas to you. As an advertiser, you cannot afford to ignore or misinterpret your clients or co-workers, especially when details are essential to the successful completion of a project.- Having adequate computer skills is obligatory in an industry that is fast becoming focused solely on digital marketing. Most of your day-to-day operations will involve working from your computer while using software like Photoshop and Illustrator. Also, being social media savvy will help you stay in the loop with the latest online trends and developments. The modern consumer mostly digests content through social media platforms and is determined by what pops up on their newsfeed, and having a good grasp of these different apps and tools will boost your work performance.Being an organized individual is a must for working in the advertisement sector. A day in the life of an advertiser can be quite hectic, and being able to keep to tight deadlines while managing multiple appointments with clients and colleagues requires extraordinary organization skills. This market is continuously evolving. Just think of how much advertising has changed in the last few decades and the changes that will inevitably take place years from now. Advertisers must continuously evolve with technology to reach new audiences. Being able to adapt to these changes will help you stay on top. The willingness and ability to learn and try new things is imperative. Vocabulary:persuasion [pə’sweɪʒ(ə)n] – убеждение, уговаривание; от гл. to persuade – убеждать savvy [‘sævɪ] – здравый смысл, сообразительность; искушенный, подкованныйadvertise [‘ædvətaɪz] – рекламировать, размещать рекламу, advertisement [əd’vɜ:tɪsmənt] US [ˌædvɚˈtaɪzmənt] – рекламное объявление, анонс, публикация (также сокр. ad, advert) work ethic – добросовестность, трудолюбие, трудовая этика, отношение к трудуprofitable — прибыльныйexecute – выполнять, осуществлять, реализовать, претворить в жизньassess – оценивать influence smth. – влиять на что-лб.crucial – ключевой, критически важный, решающийcomplement – дополнять, гармонично сочетатьсяflexible – гибкий, податливый, уступчивыйpromote – продвигать, содействовать, способствовать, повышать по службеevaluate – оценивать, вычислять, давать оценкуmetrics – количественные показатели, параметрыlaunch a campaign – запускать кампаниюimpact – удар, воздействие, оказывать воздействие, влиятьencompass [ɪn’kʌmpəs] – содержать, охватывать, включать в себяstructure [‘strʌkʧə] the workflow – структурировать рабочий процессtracker – устройство отслеживания, трекерpostback – отправка веб-страницей данных обратно на ту же страницу сервераbe aware of smth. – быть осведомленным о чем-лб, быть в курсе, осознавать что-лб.copy – рекламный текст, copywriting – составление рекламного объявления, копирайтингcustomize – выполнять по инд. заказу, подгонять, адаптировать под индивидуальные требованияproficiency – профессиональный уровень, опытность, мастерствоcome across smb. \ smth. – случайно встретиться \ наткнуться на кого-лб. \ что-лб.landing page – целевая страница, страница попадания с внешней ссылкиaffiliate networks – партнерская сеть, аффилированная сетьconsumer – потребительoversaturated market – перенасыщенный рынок, переполненный рынокimaginative – образный, с богатым воображением, впечатляющийpart and parcel – неотъемлемая частьpitch an idea – подавать \ подбрасывать идею; pitch – рекламный призыв, агитационная речьconvey – передавать, доносить, выражать (идею)relay – отправлять, передавать, (ре-)транслировать, сменять; эстафетаstay in the loop with – быть в курсе, оставаться в курсе чего-лб. boost – повышать, подниматьpop up – внезапно возникать \ всплывать \ появлятьсяnewsfeed – новостная лентаevolve – эволюционировать, претерпевать изменения, видоизменяться, выделять (тепло и т.п.)Exercise 1.

Specifics of the Job of an Advertising Specialist. Специфика работы специалиста по рекламе.To be honest, advertising is a highly meritocratic field. Meaning, actual skills matter more than academic credentials. On paper, a basic college degree is the bare minimum qualification. But keep in mind that this is a lucrative field with few openings and extreme competition. So if you want to stay ahead of the competition, industry-related qualifications are always essential. There is no shortage of advertising courses, both online and offline, for students looking for an entry point into advertising. A company may hire an advertising specialist to work in-house, or the specialist may provide services independently to several companies at once. Once hired, the advertising specialist will be responsible for identifying the company’s advertising goals, identifying the company’s target market, and developing a marketing strategy for effectively reaching that target market. The specialist may work alone or as part of a larger team; this will generally depend on the size of the project as well as the needs of a particular business. Very large businesses and corporations will often hire teams of advertising specialists to effectively handle all aspects of a large advertising and marketing campaign.A good advertising specialist is creative, data-driven, and has a good understanding of the customer mindset. They are able to think out-of-the-box to develop unique advertising ideas. They must also be able to work well under pressure and meet deadlines, while maintaining attention to detail. Good interpersonal skills are also vital, as they often have to work as part of a team and liaise with clients and stakeholders.Advertising Specialists typically need to have a minimum of 1 to 3 years of relevant experience in the field of advertising, marketing, public relations, communications, or a related discipline. This experience can be acquired through internships, part-time roles, or full-time entry-level roles within an advertising or marketing agency or in-house department. Candidates for this role should have a robust understanding of advertising strategies and channels, including digital and traditional media. Experience with managing advertising campaigns, conducting market research, and analyzing advertising data are also critical.Once the advertising specialist has a solid understanding of the target audience, he or she will need to begin to develop writing, images, video, and audio to effectively convey the advertising message. This may mean writing press releases, writing scripts for commercials, purchasing images for print advertising, or putting together a film production for a commercial shoot. The different types of advertising strategies will often depend on the intended audience as well as the business’s budget for reaching that intended audience. Print ads tend to be far less expensive than film ads, for example, so a smaller company may choose to stick to print or Internet advertising over television advertising.For those with 3 to 5 years of experience in the field, they should have developed strong creative and strategic thinking skills. They may have also taken on project management responsibilities, overseeing the implementation of advertising campaigns from conceptualization to execution.Individuals with over 5 years of experience may have moved into more senior roles, potentially managing a team of Advertising Specialists or coordinating with various departments to meet advertising goals. At this stage, a demonstrated ability to lead and manage large-scale advertising campaigns is often required.Vocabulary:meritocratic [ˌmerɪtǝ’krætɪk] – на основе заслуг, зависящий от профессиональных компетенцийcredentials [krɪ’denʃlz] – документы, подтверждающие квалификацию, верительная грамотаbare – простой, чистый, голый, без прикрасlucrative [‘lu:krətɪv] – прибыльный, доходный, перспективныйtarget [‘tɑ:gɪt] — цель, мишень, целевой показатель, целевой (аудитория, рынок)competition — конкуренцияshortage – нехватка, недостаток, дефицитhandle – обращаться с, справляться сentry point — отправная точка, точка входа particular [pə’tɪkjulə] – особый, особенный, детальный, тщательный, специфическийliaise with [lɪ’eɪz] – устанавливать \ поддерживать связь сstakeholder – заинтересованное лицо, долевой участникrelevant – относящийся к делу, соответственный, уместный, адекватныйrobust [rəʊˈbʌst] – крепкий, здоровый, здравый, могучий, грубоватыйmeet deadlines – укладываться в сроки, выполнить работу в срокconduct – проводить, вести, дирижировать, scripts – сценарий, письменная работа экзаменуемого, подлинникaudience — аудиторияstick to – (строго) придерживаться чего-лб., приклеиться к чему-лб.implementation – воплощение, реализация на практике, внедрение, ввод в действиеlarge-scale – крупномасштабный, большого размера, массовый Text 4. The Main Principles of Advertising. Основные принципы деятельности в отрасли Реклама.What are the basic principles of advertising? Advertising activities are subject to five principles: Truth, Clarity, Originality, Effectiveness, and Profitability. Especially the first two, truth and clarity, can have legal consequences. Accordingly, untrue and unclear advertisements are considered misleading advertising.Advertisers and marketers spend a lot of time and money to create an advertisement whose target audience will be persuaded to buy their product or service. An advertisement usually uses visual images, audio, or video in combination with text-based messages to market people, products, brands, ideas, or services.Truth as a principle of advertisingAdvertising messages legally and ethically must not contain untruths or deceptions. In this context, even the concealment of important information is considered misleading. Advertisers must therefore be aware that it is not only a principle but even a legal framework condition. However, advertisers should ask themselves whether it makes sense to advertise a product that has to conceal truths in order to attract customers. The principle of truth becomes especially clear in the health industry or with products/services that can trigger addiction. For example, so-called disclaimers/safety warnings are inserted in the case of medications, alcoholic beverages, or sports betting.Principle of clarityThe basic advertising principle of clarity is closely related to truth. As already mentioned, advertising messages are subject to the obligation to be true and clear. Under no circumstances may they be misleading or so unclear as to cause negative consequences for the potential customer.Originality of advertisingAdvertising should be unique and original. This is partly for reasons of effectiveness but also for legal reasons. Especially in times of online marketing, campaigns should be original. Target groups recognize very quickly when parts of an advertisement are copied or imitated. Of course, there are certain elements that are always built into advertising materials such as emotions and humor. But if a fast-food restaurant makes a campaign about a certain event, and another fast-food chain does the same a few weeks later, this will quickly be put into context. Principle of advertising effectivenessMeasuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns is essential for optimizing performance and maximizing return on investment (ROI). By tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) such as reach, engagement, conversion rate, and sales revenue, advertisers can evaluate the impact of their campaigns and make data-driven decisions to improve future initiatives. there are various approaches to measuring advertising effectiveness in today’s digital landscape: from traditional methods like surveys and focus groups to modern analytics tools and attribution models. The advertising principle of profitabilityIn close connection with effectiveness, advertising should follow the principle of economic efficiency. This means that the cost of advertising should be less than the revenue generated from it. To measure and compare profitability, the Return on Ad Spend can be calculated for each campaign, as well as entire Return on Marketing Investment (ROMI).Vocabulary:Be subject to – подлежать, подпадать под действие, должен соответствоватьClarity – ясность, понятность, наглядностьConsequence – следствие, последствиеto market – находить рынок сбыта, продавать на рынкеdeception – обман, введение в заблуждение, от гл. deceive — обманыватьconceal – прятать, скрывать; concealment – скрытие, утаиваниеtherefore – поэтому, следовательно, вот почемуframework – рамки, каркас, структураcustomer – клиент, заказчик, покупательtrigger – давать толчок чему-лб, автоматически приводить к чему-лб. Disclaimer – разъяснительное замечание, предупреждение, отказ от ответственностиput into context – устанавливать взаимосвязь, ставить в общий контекстreturn on investment – доход по инвестициям, эффективность инвестицийkey performance indicators – основные производственные показателиengagement – вовлечение, вовлеченность (пользователя)revenue – выручкаconversion rate – показатель эффективности рекламыdata-driven – основанный на данныхattribution model — правило или набор правил, определяющих принцип распределения ценности среди точек взаимодействия в пути конверсии (модель атрибуции)compare – сравнивать, сопоставлять \ соотносить сReturn on Ad Spend – окупаемость инвестиций в рекламуReturn on Marketing Investment – рентабельность маркетинга Grammar Practice. Types of sentences.В английской грамматике предложения классифицируются двумя способами: по структуре и по цели высказывания. Типы предложений по структуре:Простое предложение. Simple sentence.I like to read books. — Я люблю читать книги. (Одна независимая основа). Сложносочинённое предложение. Compound sentence.I like to read books, and I read them every evening. — Я люблю читать книги и читаю их каждый вечер. (Две или более независимых основы). Сложноподчинённое предложение. Complex sentence.I like to read books because it’s educative, and I read them every evening before I go to bed. — Я люблю читать книги, потому что это познавательно, и я читаю их каждый вечер перед тем, как лечь спать. (Два или более главных предложения и одно или более зависимых). Типы предложений по цели высказывания:Повествовательное предложение. Declarative sentence.  (Statement):I like to read books. — Я люблю читать книги. (Используется в качестве простого утверждения. Большинство предложений относятся именно к этому виду). Вопросительное предложение. Interrogative sentence. (Questions): Do you like to read books? — Ты любишь читать книги? (Используется, чтобы задать вопрос). Восклицательное предложение. Exclamatory sentence. (Exclamation):I need this book! — Мне нужна эта книга! (Используется для эмоциональных высказываний). Побудительное предложение. (Повелительное наклонение). Imperative sentence. (Commands).Please, bring me some books. — Пожалуйста, принеси мне книги. (Используется для просьб и команд. Подразумевает местоимение «ты» или «вы»). Итак, вы узнали, что в английском языке бывают простые, сложносочиненные и сложноподчиненные предложения. По цели высказывания, они мало отличаются от предложений в русском.  Exercise 2. Define type of sentence.Ram is studying at Career Power Institute. Sam was the topper of his school. Have you had your breakfast? Do you know that boy? Hurray! We won the match! Wow! This painting is so beautiful! Oh! What a lovely day it is! Do not make noise. Oh, do shut up! He has been sleeping since 8 PM. Sam went to school, but he forgot his homework at home. John is a good actor, but he is a bad singer. His father punished him because he broke his phone while playing. Before going on a trip, pack your bags. Тема 3.2. Профессии в рекламе.Text 5. Professions in advertising.

Sneakers or casual shoes are the preferred footwear. Women can opt for jeans, skirts, or dresses paired with a stylish top.

Avoid clothing with offensive graphics or slogans and ensure that your clothing fits appropriately.Business Casual Dress CodeBusiness casual dress code strikes a balance between professional attire and casual comfort. It is commonly observed in office environments and certain professional settings.

Ties are optional but can add a touch of formality. Dress shoes or loafers are the appropriate choice for footwear.Women have more flexibility in their business casual outfits.

It requires individuals to dress in a more elegant and professional manner. For men, a business suit with a tie is considered appropriate for formal dress code.

They can opt for a business-style dress with heels or a business suit. It’s important for women to choose dresses or suits that are tailored and well-fitted for a polished look.When dressing in formal attire, it is important to pay attention to the details.

Word order the sentence.В английском языке основной порядок слов можно описать формулой: subject — verb — object (подлежащее — сказуемое — дополнение).Пример: Mary reads many books. — Мэри читает много книг.Подлежащее — это существительное или местоимение, которое стоит в начале предложения (кто? — Mary).Сказуемое — это глагол, который стоит после подлежащего (что делает? — reads).Дополнение — это существительное или местоимение, которое стоит после глагола (что? — books).В английском языке отсутствуют падежи, поэтому необходимо строго соблюдать основной порядок слов, так как часто это единственное, что указывает на связь между словами.В утвердительных предложениях подлежащее обычно стоит на первом месте перед сказуемым и может быть выражено:существительным (с артиклем или без) — Students spend time in the fast-food restaurants.местоимением – They spend time in the fast-food restaurants.инфинитивомTo eat fast-food is not healthy.герундиемEating vegetables and fruit is healthy.Сказуемое стоит на втором месте может быть выражено:одним смысловым глаголом (Students spend free time in the fast-food restaurants.)несколькими глаголами во временных формах с вспомогательными глаголами, после которого идет основной (Students are writing test now. Students have already written test.)Частица not в отрицательных предложениях тоже входит в состав сказуемого. (To eat fast-food is not healthy).Дополнение, если оно есть в предложении, стоит на третьем месте и как правило, выражено другим существительным и употребляется после сказуемого (Students spend time in the fast-food restaurants).Exercise 3.

Понятие о рекламе, определение, задачи и роль в социуме. Text 7. The concept of advertising. Понятие о рекламе. Initially, advertising comes from the Latin words ‘reclama’ (shout out) and ‘reclamare’ (respond, demand). Advertising is a component of marketing. These two terms are not the same thing. Marketing is the broad process of researching consumer needs, collecting and evaluating data related to those needs and developing strategies for reaching consumers, of which advertising is a strategy that is used. Advertising strictly refers to the process of reaching potential customers in an effort to make sales. Advertising is also known as mass selling. It is not as effective as personal selling but it does facilitate communication with a large number of potential buyers at a time. Advertising is aimed at a group of persons and not at an individual. But it is not for the whole general public because all the members of a society do not make up the target group. Many may not be in the habit of purchasing advertised goods. The message of advertising is designed to arouse the demand of the target group, but it is a general mass communication to potential customers. The communication may take the form of visual or oral messages for the purpose of informing and influencing the public, i.e. the target group. Advertising is a commercial transaction involving payment to a third party, i.e. one or more of the media. Advertising is paid communication because the organization for whom the advertisement is made pays the fees and charges for the services rendered by various media. Advertising is a process which gives information to the public about the product. It is persuasive, controlled, identifiable, and influences the targeted audience. The advertising message is persuasive and informative enough to motivate potential customers. It is only when it is persuasive and creative that it would increase sales. The time, place, message and direction of advertising are controlled to make them effective and purposive. The selection of the medium, message and time is carefully done to achieve the most economical results. The controlled element distinguishes an advertisement from publicity because, in the latter case, the control technique is not applied; but in the former case, the control function is a vital necessity. The message and presentation of an advertisement should be recognized by receivers or customers. Advertising aims at a target group. Although it does not distinguish between target and non-target group, it is designed to influence the target group. The desire, purchasing power, status, entertainment elements and attractiveness to suit the target group are considered while framing an advertisement.Vocabulary:reach – достигать, добиться внимания, дотянуться доrefer to – касаться, относиться к, означать, ссылатьсяfacilitate [fə’sɪlɪteɪt] – облегчать, содействоватьaimed at – направленный на, нацеленный на, рассчитанный наbe in the habit of doing smth. – иметь привычку что-то делатьpurchase – покупать, приобретатьtransaction – сделка, транзакцияrender a service – оказать услугуpurposive – преднамеренный, служащий определенной цели, целенаправленныйdistinguish from – отличать от, distinguish between – проводить грань между, различать междуrecognize – узнать внешне, признавать (что-лб, кого-лб.)frame – создавать каркас, структурировать, компоновать Text 8. Functions and classification of advertising.The role of advertising in the life of society is very versatile. Advertising aims at fulfilling a variety of different purposes. Advertising Persuades People to Take Action. A quick look at a group of advertisements will show that they use similar language. Many advertisements are direct response advertisements, which are designed to make the viewer take a specific action now. Words and phrases often used in direct response ads include:Buy now — Book now — Click here — Get startedTry now — Start your trial — Schedule your callIt Teaches People About Products. Another effect of advertising is educating consumers about specific products and services. In an advertisement prospective buyers are shown how the product works and how it can solve the problems they face or at least provide some relief for those problems. Advertising Influences Consumer Behavior. At its core, the influence of advertising in everyday life is the power to alter what consumers think and feel. A successful ad cultivates desire within the viewer and makes his \ her want to buy a product while minimizing any doubts s\he has about the product. An advertisement might counter potential doubts in the customer’s mind by mentioning a money-back guarantee or by offering a free trial. Ads Can Make Shopping Easier. Advertising can make shopping easier because it lets consumers know that a retailer carries that product and that they can go there to purchase it. When shopping for hair care products, a buyer might be confused by the sheer number of products he encounters. An advertisement showing that a specific product was designed for his hair texture can make his decision easier because he trusts that the product will work for his hair.Advertising Communicates Price and Value. Another important aspect of advertising is that it communicates a product or service’s price as well as its relative value. An ad might push viewers to take advantage of a short-term promotion where they can get a $300 gutter cleaning for only $199 or might communicate that at a specific store, they can buy designer clothing for half the price they would pay for the same garments at other retailers.Advertising eliminates or lessens seasonal fluctuations. Advertising creates more business for all – Competitive advertising of two or more manufacturers in the same field expands market; and creates more business for all. This is exemplified by the fact that not only the use of a particular brand of an article, say, a portable typewriter, is recommended but the use of the article is vigorously suggested with the result that more typewriters of different makes are being sold. Advertising raises the standard of living – It is helping to stimulate desire for better things. Many of the so-called luxuries of yesterday are today’s necessities, and the things enjoyed today exclusively by the wealthy may tomorrow be enjoyed by those of smaller incomes. Advertising, in spreading the news and increasing the desire for better things and, in many cases, decreasing costs, has rendered great service to humanity. There are several branches or types of advertising which can be used by the companies:Print Advertising — The print media has been used for advertising since long ago. The newspapers and magazines are quite popular modes of advertising for different companies all over the world. Using the print media, the companies can also promote their products through brochures and fliers. Broadcast Advertising — This type of advertising is very popular all around the world. It consists of television, radio, or Internet advertising. The ads on the television have a large audience and are very popular. The cost of the advertisement depends on the length of the ad and the time at which the ad would be appearing. For example, the prime time ads would be more costly than the regular ones. Radio advertising is not what it used to be after the advent of television and Internet, but still there is specific audience for the radio ads too. Outdoor Advertising — Outdoor advertising makes use of different tools to gain customer’s attention. The billboards, kiosks, and events and tradeshows are an effective way to convey the message of the company. The billboards are present all around the city but the content should be such that it attracts the attention of the customer. The kiosks are an easy outlet of the products and serve as information outlets for the people too. Organizing events such as trade fairs and exhibitions for promotion of the product or service also in a way advertises the product. Therefore, outdoor advertising is an effective advertising tool.Covert Advertising – is also known as “guerrilla advertising”. This is a unique way of advertising in which the product or the message is subtly included in a movie or TV serial. There is no actual ad, just the mention of the product in the movie. For example, Tom Cruise used the Nokia phone in the movie Minority Report («Особое мнение»).Public Service Advertising — As evident from the title itself, such advertising is for the public causes. There are a host of important matters such as AIDS, political integrity, energy conservation, illiteracy, poverty and so on all of which need more awareness as far as general public is concerned. This type of advertising has gained much importance in recent times and is an effective tool to convey the message.Vocabulary:versatile – разностороннийrelief – облегчениеcore – суть, стержень, сердцевинаalter — изменятьretailer – розничный торговецencounter – натолкнуться, встретиться яsheer – самоё, легкий, прозрачныйgutter – сток, сточная канава, канализацияvigorously – рьяно, настойчиво, решительноgarments – одежда, одеяниеfluctuation – колебание, отклоненияexemplify – подтверждать примером, пояснять, подтверждатьadvent – пришествие, наступление (эпохи)outlet – торговая точка, склад \ магазин распродажи остатков продукцииsubtly – тонко, неуловимо, слегкаintegrity – прямота, цельность, принципиальностьguerrilla – подпольщик, партизанPractice speaking for your learning portfolio.Topic 3. Functions and classification of advertising. Функции и классификация рекламы. Grammar Practice. Interrogative sentences.Общие вопросы (General Questions) задаются собеседнику с целью получить подтверждение или отрицание высказанной в вопросе мысли и, таким образом, требуют ответа да или нет.  Do you speak English well? (Вы хорошо говорите по-английски?). Can you translate this article? (Вы можете ли вы перевести эту статью?). В английском языке общие вопросы имеют такой порядок слов: вспомогательный или модальный глагол, входящий в состав сказуемого, ставится в начале предложения перед подлежащим. Сказуемое, таким образом, расчленяется на две части, отделяемые одна от другой подлежащим. Когда в составе сказуемого нет вспомогательного глагола, т.е. когда сказуемое выражено глаголом в Present или Past Indefinite, то перед подлежащим ставятся соответственно формы do (does) или did; смысловой же глагол ставится в форме инфинитива (без to) после подлежащего. Порядок остальных членов предложения остается такой же, как и в повествовательном предложении. Когда в состав сказуемого входят два или три вспомогательных глагола, то только первый из них ставится перед подлежащим: He has been working since morning. Has he been working since morning. Сказуемое, выраженное глаголами to be и to have в Present или Past Indefinite, ставится перед подлежащим: He is in Moscow. Is he in Moscow? She has a large flat. Has she a large flat? Ответы на общие вопросы обычно даются в краткой форме. Обычной формой ответов являются ответы, состоящие из Yes или No, подлежащего, выраженного соответствующим местоимением, и вспомогательного или модального глагола. В отрицательном ответе частица not обычно сливается с вспомогательным или модальным глаголом: Do you speak English? Yes, I do. No, I don’t. Is he resting? Yes, he is. No, he isn’t. Can you swim? Yes, I can. No, I can’t. Отрицательная форма общих вопросов образуется при помощи частицы not, которая ставится после подлежащего перед смысловым глаголом. Общие вопросы в отрицательной форме выражают удивление и соответствуют в русском языке вопросам, начинающимся с разве? или неужели? Don’t you know him? Неужели вы его не знаете? Haven’t you seen him? Разве вы его не видели? В ответах на общие вопросы в отрицательной форме следует обращать внимание на разницу в употреблении no и yes в английском языке и нет и да в русском языке. В английском языке в утвердительном ответе всегда стоит yes, а в отрицательном – no. В русском языке нет может стоять как в утвердительном, так и в отрицательном ответе: Didn’t you speak to him yesterday? Разве вы не говорили с ним вчера? Yes, I did. Нет, говорил. No, I did not. Нет, не говорил.Специальные вопросы (Special Questions) вопросы начинаются с вопросительного слова (или группы слов), заменяющего тот член предложения, к которому относится вопрос. Они начинаются словами who? кто? what? что? какой? which? который? when? когда? where? где? куда? why? почему? how? как? how much? сколько? how long? как долго? сколько времени? и др. Порядок слов в специальных вопросах такой же, как и в общих вопросах (т.е. вспомогательный или модальный глагол стоит перед подлежащим), но в отличие от них перед вспомогательным или модальным глаголом стоит вопросительное слово или группа слов. Например, к предложению The teacher read an interesting story to the students yesterday. (Вчера преподаватель читал студентам интересный рассказ) можно поставить следующие вопросы:1) Вопрос, относящийся к обстоятельству времени yesterday: When did the teacher read an interesting story to the students? Когда преподаватель читал студентам интересный рассказ?2) Вопрос, относящийся к предложному косвенному дополнению to the students: To whom did the teacher read an interesting story yesterday? (Кому преподаватель читал вчера интересный рассказ?)3) Вопрос, относящийся к прямому дополнению an interesting story: What did the teacher read to the students yesterday? Что преподаватель читал студентам вчера?4) Вопрос, относящийся к определению interesting: What story did the teacher read to the students yesterday? Какой рассказ читал студентам вчера?5) Вопрос, относящийся к сказуемому read: What did the teacher do yesterday? (Что преподаватель делал вчера?).Когда вопрос относится к определению, то вопросительные слова what, which, какойкоторыйwhose чейhow much, how many сколько стоят непосредственно перед существительными, которые они определяют, в отличии от русского языка, в котором соответствующие вопросительные слова могут быть отделены от определяемых существительных другими словами: What story are you reading? Какой рассказ вы читаете? Какой вы читаете рассказ? How many books did you buy? Сколько книг вы купили? Ответы на специальные вопросы, как и в русском языке, даются полные с повторением всех членов предложения, логически необходимых для данного ответа. При этом, как и в русском языке, члены предложения, выраженные существительным, обычно заменяются местоимениями: When did the teacher read an interesting story to the students? He read it to them yesterday. В специальных вопросах отрицательная частица not ставится после подлежащего. В разговорной речи частица not сливается с вспомогательным или модальным глаголом: Why didn’t you come yesterday? Почему вы не пришли вчера? What doesn’t he understand? Чего он не понимает?Вопросы к подлежащему (Question to the subject), которые относятся к подлежащему, начинаются с вопросительных местоимений who? кто? what? что? играющих в вопросе роль подлежащего, за которым следует сказуемое (как вспомогательный или модальный глагол, так и смысловой глагол) называются вопросами к подлежащему. В отличие от других вопросов, в таких вопросах употребляется порядок слов повествовательного предложения. Глагол после who? what? в роли подлежащего употребляется, как и глагол после кто и что в русском языке, в форме 3-го лица единственного числа.подлежащее

Такие вопросы начинаются с вопросительных местоимений what? какой? which? который? whose? чей? how much? how many? сколько? за которыми непосредственно следует подлежащие: What book is lying on the table? Какая книга лежит на столе? How many students work in that laboratory? Сколько студентов работает в этой лаборатории? Ответы на вопросы, относящиеся к подлежащему или его определению, обычно даются в краткой форме. Они состоят из подлежащего (существительного или местоимения) и сказуемого, выраженного вспомогательным или модальным глаголом, входящим в состав сказуемого вопроса. Who is standing at the window? My sister is. Who can do it? I can. Who gives you English lessons? Ann does.Альтернативный вопрос (The Аlternative Question) представляет собой два общих вопроса, соединённых союзом or. Второй вопрос обычно бывает неполным. Альтернативные вопросы обычно произносятся с повышением голоса перед союзом or и с понижением голоса в конце предложения на последнем ударном слоге. Did you spend your vocation in the Crimea or (did you spend it) in the Caucasus? Вы провели отпуск в Крыму или на Кавказе? Is he resting or (is he) working? Он отдыхает или работает? Хотя альтернативные вопросы начинаются с вспомогательного глагола и, таким образом, являются по форме общими вопросами, они по содержанию являются специальными вопросами, поскольку они относятся к какому-нибудь члену предложения. Альтернативные вопросы поэтому требуют таких же ответов, как и специальные вопросы, т.е. полных ответов. Do you like tea or coffee? I like tea. Когда альтернативный вопрос относится к подлежащему, то второму подлежащему всегда предшествует вспомогательный или модальный глагол. Такой вопрос требует краткого ответа, как и всякий специальный вопрос, относящийся к подлежащему: Did you speak to them, or did the manager? The manager did. Will you go there, or will your wife? My wife will. Альтернативные вопросы могут также начинаться с вопросительного слова. Такие вопросы состоят из специального вопроса и следующих за ним двух однородных членов предложения, соединенных союзом or: Where did you spend your leave: in the Crimea or in the Caucasus? Где вы провели отпуск: в Крыму или на Кавказе?Разделительный вопрос (The Disjunctive Question) представляет собой утвердительное или отрицательное предложение, к которому присоединён краткий общий вопрос, состоящий из соответствующего местоимения и того вспомогательного или модального глагола, который входит в состав сказуемого повествовательного предложения. Если сказуемое стоит в утвердительной форме Present или Past Indefinite т.е. в его составе нет вспомогательного глагола, то в кратком вопросе употребляются соответственно формы do (does) или did: You speak French, don’t you? Вы говорите по-французски, не правда ли? He hasn’t returned from Moscow yet, has he? Он ещё не вернулся из Москвы, не правда ли? Разделительные вопросы задаются в том случае, когда говорящий желает получить подтверждение высказывания, содержащегося в повествовательном предложении. Когда говорящий ожидает утвердительного ответа, то вопросу предшествует утвердительное предложение, а вспомогательный или модальный глагол в вопросе употребляется в отрицательной форме. Если же говорящий ожидает отрицательного ответа, то вопросу предшествует отрицательное предложение, а вспомогательный или модальный глагол в вопросе употребляется в утвердительной форме. Краткий общий вопрос соответствует в русском языке словам не правда ли? не так ли? да? Первая часть разделительного вопроса произносится с понижающейся интонацией, а вторая часть – с повышающейся интонацией. She is very busy, isn’t she? Она очень занята, не правда ли? She isn’t very busy, is she? Она не очень занята, не правда ли? Ответы на разделительные вопросы, как и на все общие вопросы, обычно бывают краткими и могут выражать как согласие с говорящим, так и несогласие с ним:вопрос
Ответ, выражающий

Согласие с говорящим
Несогласие с говорящим
А. Вопросу предшествует утвердительное предложение:
Your friend speaks English, doesn’t he?
Ваш приятель говорит по-английски, не правда ли?
Б. Вопросу предшествует отрицательное предложение:
Your friend doesn’t speak English, does he?
Ваш приятель не говорит по-английски, не правда ли?
Yes, he does.
Да, говорит.
No, he doesn’t.
Да, не говорит.
No, he doesn’t.
Нет, не говорит.
Yes, he does.
Нет, говорит.Как видно из приведенных примеров, в ответах на вопросы с предшествующими отрицательными предложениями существует расхождение в употреблении no и yes в английском языке и нет и да в русском языке. В английском языке no может стоять только в отрицательном ответе, а yes – в утвердительном ответе, в то время как в русском языке да может стоять в отрицательном ответе, а нет – в утвердительном.Exercise 4. Ask general questions to the sentences. Example: 1. Mary grows beautiful flowers in the garden. (Мэри выращивает красивые цветы в саду.) – Does Mary grow flowers in the garden?

These advertisements appear in newspapers or magazines and are sometimes included as brochures or fliers. Print advertisements are only effective when people see them. When people browse through newspapers and publications, these advertisements should grab the attention of the potential customer. The decision to buy the product might not be instantaneous, but it does settle down in their subconscious mind. Next time they see the product in the market, they are tempted to buy it.A sizable share of the total advertising budget is spent on advertising in newspapers. Their messages can be longer than those on the radio and TV and the message may therefore be more complex and lengthy. Since newspapers are local, they provide opportunities for direct communication between a product and its local dealers or distributors. Because newspapers supply news, they offer an atmosphere of factual information and of currency that may be favourable for some advertising situations. A disadvantage of using newspapers is that the cost of reaching a national or large regional market may to be high. In addition, the printed copy does not reproduce the ad as finely as a magazine does. And consumers do not keep the issue for long periods of time, nor do they pass it on to others, as they often do with a magazine. Magazines are a means of reaching different markets, both regional and national, and of general and specific interest. The primary advantages of magazine advertising are selectivity of market targets; quality reproduction; long life; and the prestige associated with some magazines. The quality of magazine reproduction is usually high. Consumers sometimes keep individual copies for long periods of time, reread them, or pass them on to others. Some magazines have prestige value. The advertisers can cover national or large regional markets at a low cost per contact (per individual reached). Another feature of potential interest to the advertiser is the mood or atmosphere created by some magazines. The primary disadvantage is that magazines lack the flexibility of newspapers, radio and TV. Another disadvantage is the high cost. Because of the high cost factor, many small advertisers do not employ this medium. Also magazines have long closing periods, sometimes as long as a month. Mailers are another type of print ads. These can range from well-designed postcards to simple paper leaflets. These are usually delivered by the postal workers in people’s mailboxes. The problem with these mailers is that they get least attention and are usually considered as junk and thrown away even without reading. To reduce this occurrence, companies sometimes make use of fliers. These are paper ads which are handed over to individuals in person. The logic is that if the ad is given to people personally, they will pay more attention to it, which is actually true to some extent.Though print advertising is still very popular, with the advent of the Internet, the print ads in the publications have gone down because Internet has a wider reach online. In recent years, advancements have been made in technology, and advertising through the internet and telecommunication has become increasingly popular. But the most common forms of advertising media, besides print advertising, include TVs, radios, and outdoor billboards. TV and radio are two of the most important advertising media known as broadcast media. Television has become a very important tool to advertise for companies. Companies can target serials, reality shows, sports events, live events etc. which are showcased on TV’s and understand the demographics of the people watching the TV. TV channels are anyways classified as news, sports, knowledge, entertainment, movies, kids etc. This helps advertisers to pick and choose the channel. Thus TV is one of the most widely used advertising media in the world. Advertising slots are sold by broadcasting companies and channels based in popularity of TV shows, TRPs etc.As a tool for marketing and advertising, radio is the most cost effective tool which a customer can have. Since radios have high penetration and are easy for customers to buy, they are a good tool for advertising. Radios enable companies to reach out to a wide range of customers. Since radio cater to the needs of a particular city or region, it is a good way to advertise based on customers selected from geographic segmentation. Thus, radio is one of the most effective tools as advertising media.With the consistent growth in internet penetration, companies have started using online media for promotion of their goods and services. People are constantly connected to the internet through social media, website browsing etc. Advertisements on the internet are commonly referred to as «digital advertising». Digital advertising has the capability to reach large numbers of people due to the fact that the internet is widely used and it has the facility to track the advertisements’ effectiveness as the advertisers are able to use cookies and purchase the data of the surfers. Digital advertising is more engaging and can provide an instant response and possibly a new customer. By having your product appear at the top of a search engine, it is likely to attract new customers to your website. Email ads are also a common form of digital advertising since they are cost-effective and can be personalized to a target audience. The growth of digital advertising has resulted in the consumer having unlimited access to information about products and their competitive prices. The use of digital advertising has made it easier for smaller businesses to enter the competitive market with a unique and innovative idea or product. This is because digital advertising is cost-effective and has the potential to reach a large audience through SMS, social media chat groups, online ads, blogs, content advertising, affiliate marketing, etc. Online and mobile media are also overlapping at times as websites can be accessible both through desktop, laptop and smartphones.Vocabulary:instantaneous – мгновенный, сиюминутный, немедленныйsubconscious mind — подсознаниеbe tempted – соблазняться, прельщаться, быть искушаемымsupply – поставлять, обеспечивать, снабжатьcurrency – здесь действительность, текущий моментturn out — оказатьсяreproduce — воспроизводитьselectivity — избирательностьlack – нехватка, не хватать, испытывать недостатокleaflet — листовкаjunk – мусор, барахло, хламьеoccurrence – явление, частота проявления, случайto some extent – в некоторой степениtarget – выбирать мишеньюpenetration – проникание, enable – позволять, давать возможность \ правоadvertising slots – рекламный слот, рекламная паузаfacility – удобствоaffiliate marketing – партнерский маркетинг, аффилированный маркетингoverlap – частично перекрывать, накладываться друг на другаPractice speaking for your learning portfolio.Topic 4. Print and Media Advertising. Печатная реклама и реклама в СМИ. Text 10. Outdoor advertising. Наружная рекламаOutdoor advertising collectively refers to all media options that are displayed outdoors like billboards, posters, bus-shelter ads, transit ads, neon sign boards and so on and it is the most popular form of traditional advertising. In the industry, it is commonly referred to as OOH (out-of-home) advertising as it includes methods of advertising that are designed to reach consumers when they are out of their homes. Outdoor advertising can be placed along highways, near stores or educational institutions, on mobile billboards, almost anywhere the law permits. While billboards are the most popular form of outdoor ads, digital out-of-home advertising is the fastest growing one. Although outdoor advertising is at times susceptible to damage by harsh weather and vandalism, generally it is a highly effective way to:Build brand awarenessBoost visibilityDrive sales especially for local businesses. The success of outdoor advertising campaigns depends mainly on factors like location, duration, ad dimensions, and the visuals of the ad like how you make a logo, imagery, font and color though the location is considered by many to be the single most important factor. A good outdoor advertising campaign delivers the right message, at the right time and place, to the right audience. The advertising is highly targeted and relevant in terms of location, demographics, consumer behavior and part of the day. There are many different types of outdoor advertising and they can be broadly classified into four main categories. They are Hoardings, also known as billboards, are generally located in high traffic areas such as along highways or near shopping malls to attract the attention of the highest number of drivers and pedestrians. This type of outdoor advertising is really effective at creating and boosting brand awareness as the ad is always visible 24×7.They include bulletins, posters, vinyl billboards, painted billboards, digital billboards and mobile billboards.Transit advertising collectively refers to all kinds of advertising placed inside or on means of public transportation or close to public transportation stations like auto branding, cab branding, metro advertising, bus shelter, bus branding, airports, petrol pumps, train branding and train stations. This type of outdoor advertising is one of the least expensive ways to advertise and is a favorite among local advertisers as it allows them to reach a very select segment of the population. The transit ads displayed inside the vehicle also carry the unique advantage of a long exposure to the ad as people are exposed to the ad for the entire length of the ride.Street furniture advertising includes options like news racks, mall kiosks, ATM kiosks, park benches and telephone booths. This type of outdoor advertising is known as street-level urban media, street furniture is placed at eye level for foot traffic and can be really attention grabbing for pedestrians as well as commuters. People can really absorb and engage with the message of the ad as they wait for their bus or train. They are also fairly inexpensive and allow the advertisers a good scope to get creative with their ads.Non-transit advertising — Besides above-mentioned outdoor advertising examples, there are also a lot of ever-growing alternate/non-traditional outdoor media options such as walking billboards, pole kiosks, hot-air balloons, sailboats and malls advertising (kiosks, standees, cutouts, elevator wraps, cricket stadium, food court advertising. LED screens).Vocabulary:bus-shelter – автобусная остановкаtransit ads – реклама на транспортеpermit – разрешение, разрешатьsusceptible — предрасположенный, восприимчивыйharsh – суровый, жесткийbrand awareness – узнаваемость брендаdimensions — размерыfont — шрифтpedestrian — пешеходbranding – фирменное оформление, символика торговой маркиhoardings – временные заборы, часто служащие щитом для рекламыbulletin – настенное объявление, бюллетень, сводкаabsorb exposure – здесь воздействиеallow a goods scope to do – давать широкое поле для того, чтобы делать что-тоstandee – картонный макет cutout – вырезанная фигура Practice speaking for your learning portfolio.Topic 5. Outdoor Advertising. Наружная реклама. Text 11. Product placement. Продакт плейсмент.Product placement is a form of advertising where items and services are showcased within a TV show or movie, rather than in a separate commercial. This is different from traditional ads that are displayed during commercial breaks or as banner ads on websites. When people watch a paid promotion that has been strategically placed, they may not be aware that it’s an advertisement. The purpose of placing the product in the visual content is to catch the viewer’s attention and impact their future purchases, whether they realize it or not.The advertising industry utilizes various methods for product placement such as:TV and movie placement – Visual product placement is a marketing technique used in movies and television shows. It involves featuring prominent characters using a particular product or service, even if the product or service is not explicitly named.Video game placement – In modern video games, marketers have the option to pay for virtual product placement. Thanks to advancements in digital editing technology, these products can be seamlessly integrated into the game’s narrative, much like in a movie.Social media placement – Social media personalities can receive payment from brands to feature their products in their posts. Examples include a lifestyle influencer creating a video at a specific hotel or showcasing a makeup routine featuring a particular product.Verbal placement – Influencer marketing can also be done subtly by compensating a famous personality to mention a product or service during an interview or public appearance. For instance, a celebrity endorser may mention a brand name during an interview, or even speak about a particular product in the context of their own life.Retail floor placement – One of the oldest forms of product placement is when companies pay for prominent displays in retail stores. This method predates film, video games, and social media.Producers sometimes use “product displacement,” a process of removing logos using digital editing, or “greeking,” which involves covering or altering recognizable labels, when advertisers don’t want their brands shown in productions.Benefits of Product Placement for BusinessesOptimized brand visibility and awareness – Product placement is a type of advertising that increases your brand awareness among potential customers. When people come across your product through various mediums such as movies, video games, or social media, you have more opportunities to create a lasting impression on them.Strengthens positive brand awareness – Smart placement can display your product effectively while maintaining a smooth viewing experience for the audience. On the other hand, traditional commercials may bother customers and result in unfavorable impressions of the brand. Product placement, even when obvious, can still feel more natural than a traditional commercial since it is integrated into other content rather than being a standalone ad.Cost-effective compared to traditional advertising – If your campaign is large enough, using paid product placements may be more beneficial in the long run compared to traditional advertising methods. To discover good deals, you can work with new social media influencers or small film production companies. By doing so, you’ll face less competition and may be able to get better prices through negotiation.Product Placement Best Practices. Provide clear and honest information to the audience – If you collaborate with an influencer to promote your products, make sure to clearly state that it is a paid partnership to be transparent with your audience. When you use social media, be sure to include your brand’s handles as links. It’s perfectly fine to acknowledge that your post is an advertisement.Try to focus on a storyline or plot to make your content more relevant – Ensure that your product is integrated seamlessly into the narrative if it is featured in a movie, TV show, or video game. Consider how FedEx is seamlessly incorporated into the plot of Cast Away («Изгой»), starring Tom Hanks as a FedEx employee. The actions of Hanks’ character, which are reliable, have a positive impact on the company. This type of product placement helps to enhance the film’s storyline.Please provide an integration that improves the way your users view content – Marketers need to aim to make viewers feel positive about your product being mentioned. This message implies that your product should improve their viewing experience rather than make it worse. An example is the online video game Fortnite, which enables players to incorporate branded products such as Nike Air Jordans onto their in-game avatars. This allows Nike to receive brand exposure while providing players with the opportunity to interact with their products.Best Product Placement Examples. There are many blatant product placement examples that you may have noticed at different movies, shows, events, etc. Let’s have a look at some of the product placement campaign examples –1) James Bond- Aston MartinThe partnership between James Bond and Aston Martin is one of the oldest in film history. While various brands are featured in Bond movies, such as Omega and Heineken, Aston Martin is the most closely associated with the franchise.2) Iron Man – AudiIron Man’s portrayal by Robert Downey Jr. was the catalyst for Audi’s partnership with the Marvel Cinematic Universe production company, which has now become a staple in their movies.Vocabulary:display –изображать, показывать; стенд с товаромfeature – показывать (в главной роли) выводить в качестве звезды в фильме и т.п.explicitly – недвусмысленно, явным образом, прямо, открытоprominent – выдающийся, значительный, заметныйadvancements – успехи, прогресс, продвижениеseamlessly – органично, незаметноnarrative — повествованиеendorser – рекомендатель, сторонникcompensate – вознаграждать, оплачивать услуги predate – предшествовать, предварятьgreeking – замазывание логотипаbother – беспокоить, надоедатьresult in – привести в результатеstandalone – отдельно стоящий, изолированныйobvious – очевидныйbrand’s handles — дескрипторы бренда (хэштеги)relevant – убедительный, заслуживающий внимание, относящийся к делу, сооветственныйstoryline – сюжетная линияbrand exposure – представленность, заметность брендаblatant [‘bleɪt(ə)nt] – явный, очевидный, наглый, беспардонный, кричащийstaple – основной, постоянно присутствующий (товар)protagonist – главный геройburglar – вор, разбойник, вламывающийся в домPractice speaking for your learning portfolio.Topic 6. Product placement. Продакт плейсмент. Text 12. Social advertising.Public Service Advertising, commonly known as public service announcements (PSAs), serves as a marketing tool to educate the public on matters deemed to be in the public interest. Public service advertising addresses a wide array of social concerns, ranging from health and safety to environmental issues and civic responsibilities. The advertising industry has a tradition of contributing free advertising space for charitable causes, a practice dating back to the early 1900s.Difference between Commercial Advertisements and PSAs

Typically, produced pro bono by advertising agencies and media outlets or at a reduced cost for non-profit organizations. Public service advertising is designed to inform the public on issues that are frequently considered to be in the general best interests of the community at large. Typically, it reflects a political viewpoint, philosophical theory, religious concept or humanitarian notion. The public service advertising campaigns are often sponsored by trade associations, civic organizations, non-profit institutions or religious groups. In contrast to commercial advertisements, public service advertisements have the main objective as a form of invitation or appeal for the public to do something. Public service advertising is often disseminated through numerous channels, including various forms of traditional media, as well as electronic media. The welfare of the public is the central theme of virtually all public service advertising. Public welfare issues include personal safety, access to community resources, and encouraging a vigorous level of community participation. A sizable portion of public service announcements are aimed at improving public health. This type of advertising warns the public of dangers to a person’s health, such as smoking cigarettes. They also include advertisements that encourage people to receive preventative screenings for diseases, and many offer toll free phone numbers or website addresses. Other public health announcements warn about sexually transmitted diseases, and still others consist of major advertising campaigns aimed to prevent violent deaths. These include suicide prevention ads that list warning signs of suicidal behavior, and firearm safety campaigns. Another type of public service advertising seeks to increase disaster preparedness within communities. This is often used in advance of an approaching hurricane, for example, or in areas where tsunamis or earthquakes can be expected to occur at some point in the future. In times of violent events, such as terrorist attacks, this type of advertising may be an important part of dispensing vital advice to citizens on how to access essential resources. Public service advertising that seeks to improve community participation may be considered an important factor in maintaining a vigorous democratic system of government. These ads may also encourage citizens to pull together in difficult times, such as in those cases when a government’s ability to help citizenry is compromised. Reminders to vote through public announcements, encouraging citizen activism in crime prevention, and keeping citizens informed are some other purposes of this type of public service advertising. In many countries, many laws exist that stipulate broadcasters devote a certain amount of their resources to keeping the public informed through public service announcements.Vocabulary:Public Service Advertising – социальная рекламаwide array of – широкий круг, разнообразныеcharitable causes — благотворительностьawareness – осознанность, осведомленностьpro bono – бесплатно, на безвозмездной основеhumanitarian notion – гуманитарное понятие\ принципdisseminate – распространять, рассылатьpreventative — профилактическийsexually transmitted diseases – болезни, передающиеся половым путемdispense – распространять, раздаватьcitizenry – гражданское населениеbe compromised – оказаться под вопросом \ угрозой, пострадать stipulate – предусматривать, предписывать, ставить условиеPractice speaking for your learning portfolio.Topic 7. Social Advertising. Социальная реклама. Grammar practice. Subordinate (Dependent) clause. Придаточные предложения.Subordinate (Dependent) clause — это зависимая часть в составе сложноподчинённого предложения, которая поясняет главное предложение и зависит от него. I’m afraid that you leave me no choice — Я боюсь, что ты не оставляешь мне выбора. Именное придаточное предложение (Noun Clause). Noun Clause — это придаточное предложение, которое выполняет функцию существительного: What he did was wrong — То, как он поступил, было неправильно (It was wrong). Subordinate clause в английском языке помогает более понятней и грамотней передавать основную мысль в речи. Придаточные предложения, как и в русском языке, делятся на несколько типов. Чаще всего их используют, чтобы образовать косвенную речь. Основными же союзами в придаточных предложениях являются «that» (что, чтобы), «because» (потому что), «as» (как, так как), «if, whether» (если, ли) «after» (после того (как)), «before» (перед тем как). Важно! После союзов придаточных предложений, должен идти глагол в прошедшем времени или to beВот несколько примеров Subordinate clause:I know that I bought the car in Germany. Я знаю, что я купил эту машину в Германии. You like him, because he is a good guy
Тебе нравится он, потому что он — хороший парень.I don’t know whether he smokes. Я не знаю курит ли он.Важно. Союзы If и whether это одно и то же, но только whether можно сразу поставить перед инфинитивом, а if — нельзя (напомню, что инфинитивом может быть, например «to buy»). Например:I don’t know whether to buy it or not. Я не знаю стоит ли покупать это или нет.I don’t know if I want to buy it or not. Я не знаю, хочется ли мне покупать это или нет.Также образуют более сложные придаточные предложения, используя вопросительные слова: «whoever» (кто бы ни), «wherever» (где бы ни), «whatever» (что бы ни), «however» (как бы ни), и так далее.Wherever you go, I’ll follow you. Куда бы ты ни пошёл, я последую за тобой.Whatever you do, I’ll help you. Что бы ты ни делал, я помогу тебе.Так как придаточные предложения в английском языке поясняют главное, они выполняют роль различных членов предложения, отсюда и появились их типы и названия. Итак, придаточные предложения бывают:1.Придаточными подлежащего (the subject clause), вводимыми союзами that (что), if / whether (ли), who (кто), what (что), which (который), when(когда), where (где), how (как), why (почему).
Eg: Whether we met there or not does not mean anything now. – Встречались мы или нет, сейчас не имеет никакого значения.2.Придаточными сказуемого (предикативное – the predicative clause), которое водится теми же союзами, что и предыдущее придаточное предложение в английском языке.
Eg: The question is whether he knows about her betrayal or not. – Вопрос в том, знает ли он о ее предательстве или нет.3.Придаточными дополнительными (the object clause), которые присоединяются к главному предложению с помощью союзов: that, if / whether, what, who, which, where, how, why.
Eg: He told us that he had seen us buying a bouquet of flowers. – Он сказал, что видел, как мы покупали букет цветов.4.Придаточными определительными (the attributive clause), и для работы с ними понадобятся такие союзы: who (который), whose (чей), which / that (который), where (где), why (почему).
Eg: The woman who helped us was a doctor from our local hospital. – Женщина, которая помогла нам, была доктором из нашей районной больницы.5.Придаточными обстоятельственными (the adverbial clause) , которые имеют свою собственную классификацию.Прежде всего, это придаточные предложения места (the adverbial clause of place), которые, исходя из названия, требуют лишь союзов where (где, куда) и wherever (где бы ни, куда бы ни). Eg: The dog sleeps wherever he wants. – Собака спит там, где захочет.Затем следуют такие придаточные предложения в английском языке, как придаточные обстоятельственные времени (the adverbial clause of time). Соответственно для них нужны союзы, определяющие временные параметры: when (когда), after (после того как), before (до того как), till (до тех пор, пока), while (в то время как), since (с тех пор как), as soon as (как только).Eg: She was still crying when he entered the room. – Она все еще плакала, когда он вошел в комнату. Далее выделяем такую группу, как придаточные обстоятельственные причины (the adverbial clause of reason) и объясняем их союзами because (потому что), as / since (так как). I called you because I needed money. – Я позвонил тебе, потому что мне нужны были деньги. Плавно переходим к придаточным обстоятельственным цели (the adverbial clause of purpose). Запоминаем вводные союзы that (чтобы), so that / in order that (для того чтобы), lest (чтобы не…).Eg: She must speak louder so that everybody could hear her. – Она должна говорить громче, чтобы все ее слышали.Конечно, не забываем про такие придаточные предложения в английском языке, как придаточные обстоятельственные условия (the adverbial clause of condition), опирающиеся на союзы if (если), provided that / on condition that (при условии что).Eg: If you find the book I asked, I will fulfill my promise. – Если ты найдешь книгу, которую я просила, я выполню свое обещание. Еще остались подгруппы придаточных обстоятельственных образа действия (the adverbial clause of manner), сравнения (the adverbial clause of comparison) и уступки (the adverbial clause of concession). Первая и вторая подгруппы придаточных предложений в английском языке нуждаются в союзах as (как), as if / as though (как будто бы). А вот для третьей подойдут though (хотя), no matter how (как бы ни было), no matter what (чтобы то ни было, в любом случае). Eg: She is looking at her mother as if she doesn’t recognize her. – Она смотрит на мать так, как будто бы не узнает ее.Exercise 8.

Связи с общественностью (PR) в системе массовых коммуникаций. Text 13. The role of the media in the life of society.It goes without saying that mass media have become part and parcel of any contemporary society. The press, the radio and the television play a very important part in the life of the society. They inform, educate and entertain people. They also influence the way people look at the world and make them change their views. As sociologists say, news is not what happens, it is what you see or read about in mass media. In other words, mass media play a very important role in molding public opinion.Millions of people watch TV and read newspapers in their spare time. The daily paper dominates family life at breakfast. Most of people can’t do without a newspaper in the underground or during the lunch break. Say, my family subscribes to Izvestiya and Komsomolka, because they are informative, interesting and objective. (Pretty often I buy … at the newsstands, as I’m interested in …).TV also dominates the life of the family most of the time. It’s needless to say that a TV set is not just a piece of furniture. It is someone who is «one of the family». It is also a habit-forming drug which is impossible to resist. The radio is turned on most of the time, creating a permanent background noise. In fact, it does not interfere with your activities. I can easily listen to the radio while doing Maths, peeling potatoes or doing the washing up. Generally, I’m not very keen on politics, but I do watch the news programme and various comments and discussions called forums. At a forum several authorities exchange views on social, economic and political problems, as well as on books of common interest. A number of sides are represented so that the listeners or the viewers could hear various opinions. In fact, such broadcasts are very popular with the Russian audience as people are able to see their leaders, deputies and presidents.Various radio and TV shows, such as a panel game or a quiz programme also attract a large audience. During a radio panel-game people send questions to the studio to be answered by the members of the panel, who compete for the best results. I personally adore watching «Brain Ring,» because I do believe that quick-minded intellectuals should be able to earn proper money. Besides, it’s both exciting and educative. It’s no secret that some of the TV and radio stations are owned by big corporations, thus the owners can advertise whatever they choose. Very often the firms and joint ventures sponsor shows and programmes, thus giving common people a good chance to make a fortune or to win a valuable prize. I dare say that mass media stimulate science and progress. To advertise their goods, commercial firms buy TV and radio time. Most of the up-to-date goods, new inventions and technologies become popular and well known with the help of mass media. So mass media promote quality and progress into our everyday life.Of course, advertising promotes business and benefits businessmen. However, it annoys ordinary people. The play you are watching on TV may be interrupted several times by an appeal to use a new perfume or detergent, or drink a certain beer. And though we are used to everything being advertised, watching such programmes gives one a headache instead of providing relaxation.I would say that it’s a great pity that such immense cultural possibilities of Russian mass media are used mainly for the purpose of selling more things… Some critics declare that advertising allows great commercial firms to pull the rest of the people down to their own intellectual level.However, it would be fair to say that our mass media do try to raise the cultural level of the people or to develop their artistic taste. I’m generally too short of time to attend an exhibition or to go to the theatre, but I watch a play or a ballet on TV with great pleasure. Thus, mass media can save us a lot of time, money and efforts, keeping people aware of what is happening in the world around us.Vocabulary:adore — обожатьannoy — досаждать, надоедатьbackground — фон, задний планbe keen on — сильно желать чего-либоbe short of time — не хватать (о времени)habit — привычкаimmense — огромный, громадныйjoint venture — совместное предприятиеmold — формироватьpart and parcel — неотъемлемая частьresist — сопротивлятьсяExercise 9.

The role of the media in the life of society. Роль СМИ в жизни общества. Text 14. Dependence of PR departments on the media The purpose of public relations (PR) is to inform, shape opinions and attitudes, and motivate. This can only be accomplished if people receive messages constantly and consistently.The media, in all their variety, are cost-effective channels of communication in an information society. They are the multipliers that enable millions of people to receive a message at the same time. Through the miracle of satellite communications, the world is a global village of shared information. On a more specialized level, the media are no longer just mass communication. Thousands of publications and hundreds of radio, television, and cable outlets enable the public relations communicator to reach very specific target audiences with tailored messages designed just for them. Demographic segmentation and psychographics are now a way of life in advertising, marketing, and public relations.The media’s power and influence in a democratic society reside in their independence from government control. Reporters and editors make independent judgements about what is newsworthy and what will be disseminated. They serve as screens and filters of information, and even though not everyone is happy with what they decide, the fact remains that media gatekeepers are generally perceived as more objective than public relations people who represent a particular client or organization.This is important to you because the media, by inference, serve as third-party endorsers of your information. Media gatekeepers give your information credibility and importance by deciding that it is newsworthy. The information is no longer from your organization. Consequently, your dependence on the media requires that you be accurate and honest at all times in all your public relations materials.Vocabulary:be designed for smb – быть предназначенным для кого-либоchannels of communication – каналы связиcost-effective — рентабельныйdisseminate — распространятьendore information – поддерживать, распространять информациюgate-keeper — редакторinference – заключение, выводmake a judgment – сделать заключениеreside in smth – принадлежать чему-либо, заключаться в чем-либоsatellite communications – спутниковая связьshape opinions and attitudes – формировать точку зрения, мнениеtailored message – сообщение, составленное с учетом ситуации, рассчитанное на определенную аудиториюtarget audience – целевая аудиторияТема 3.6.

Text 16. Ad space in digital marketing. Выделенные области в цифровом маркетинге. Ad space is dedicated areas on a website, in an application, or on any digital platform where ads are displayed. Some examples of using ad space: Advertising banners on websites. They are often placed at the top, bottom, or sidebars of a page and may include images, text, or videos. — Sponsored posts on social networks. Facebook Instagram and Twitter companies are buying ad space on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to create sponsored content that will appear in users’ feeds. — Advertising in mobile apps and games. It can appear as graphic, video, or native ads that seamlessly fit into the application interface. The purpose of using ad space is to increase brand visibility, generate leads, and increase overall sales through targeted advertising that effectively attracts and engages potential customers. Publishers sell ad space to monetize their platforms, and advertisers buy it to reach their target audience.Ad space in digital marketing refers to the allocated section on a website or web page that is designated for displaying online advertisements. Digital advertising provides a platform for businesses to promote their products or services to a targeted audience. Ad space can vary in size, shape, and location on a webpage, and it is typically sold or auctioned to advertisers who bid for the opportunity to showcase their ads to users. The term for advertising space is “ad inventory”. The cost of digital advertising space can vary greatly depending on various factors: the platform you are advertising on, the size and visibility of the ad, and the target audience can influence the cost. The placement of ads on a web page is crucial to ensure they are visible and effectively reach the target audience. Effective ad space on a web page is not only about its location but also about its integration with the overall design and user experience. Advertisements should be seamlessly incorporated into the webpage without being intrusive or disruptive to the user’s browsing experience. The quality and placement of ad space can significantly influence user engagement rates and click-through rates (CTR). Did you know that the first ever digital banner ad was launched in 1994 and it boasted an impressive click-through rate of 44%? This ad, placed on a website called HotWired, invited users to click on the banner to find out more about AT&T and was a groundbreaking moment in the history of digital advertising. The evolution of digital advertising has been a transformative journey, shaped by technological advancements, changing consumer behaviors, and the dynamic landscape of the digital realm.1. Emergence of Banner Ads (1990s): The 1990s marked the inception of digital advertising with the introduction of banner ads. These static graphics adorned websites, offering a clickable link to redirect users to the advertiser’s site. Despite their simplicity, banner ads pioneered the monetization of online content and set the stage for the commercialization of the Internet.2. Search Engine Advertising (Early 2000s): The early 2000s witnessed the rise of search engine advertising (SEA) with the launch of Google AdWords in 2000. Advertisers could bid on keywords, ensuring their ads appeared alongside relevant search results. The mid-2000s saw the emergence of social media advertising as platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn gained prominence.3. Video Advertising (2010s): The 2010s witnessed a surge in online video consumption, leading to the rise of video advertising. Platforms like YouTube have become major hubs for hosting video ads. Advertisers could convey more immersive and engaging narratives, from short, skippable ads to longer, cinematic formats.4. Programmatic Advertising (Present): The present era is characterized by programmatic advertising, a revolutionary shift in how digital ads are brought and sold. Programmatic advertising employs algorithms and real-time bidding to automate the purchase of ad space.Characteristics of Digital AdvertisingDigital advertising is characterized by a set of distinct features that distinguish it from traditional advertising methods.1. Interactivity: Digital advertising allows for two-way communication between advertisers and consumers. Unlike traditional media, where communication is largely one-directional, digital ads often provide interactive elements.2. Measurability: One of the defining characteristics of digital advertising is its high level of measurability. Advertisers have access to a wealth of data and analytics that provide insights into the performance of their campaigns in real-time.3. Targeted Marketing: One of the primary strengths of digital advertising is the ability to target specific audiences. Advertisers can tailor campaigns based on demographics, interests, online behavior, and other criteria, ensuring their message reaches the most relevant audience segments.4. Cost-Effectiveness: Digital advertising often proves to be more cost-effective compared to traditional methods. Advertisers can set budgets, control spending, and optimize campaigns in real-time based on performance data.5. Global Reach: Digital advertising transcends geographical boundaries, providing businesses with the opportunity to reach a global audience. Through online platforms and the internet, ads can be seen by users around the world, making it particularly advantageous for companies with international markets or aspirations.Disadvantages of Digital Advertising1. Ad Blocking: The rise of ad-blocking software presents a significant challenge for digital advertisers. Users can choose to block online ads, reducing their visibility and impact.2. Saturation and Competition: The digital space is highly competitive, leading to ad saturation. Fierce competition for user attention makes it challenging for ads to stand out amid the abundance of online content.3. Technical Barriers: Some users may face technical barriers, such as slow internet speeds or outdated devices, impacting their ability to interact with digital ads effectively.4. Short Attention Spans: Online users often have short attention spans. Advertisers must create highly engaging and concise content to capture attention before users scroll away.Practice speaking for your learning portfolio.Topic 10.

All types of advertisements on the Internet are focused on maximizing efficiency with minimal investment, that is, they work purposefully with the target audience. Digital (online) advertising has evolved into a diverse and dynamic landscape, offering a plethora of formats and strategies for businesses to connect with their target audience. The 6 main types of online ads include search engine advertising, social media ads, display (or banner) ads, video ads, email ads, and native ads.  While online advertising is a highly cost-effective way to attract customers to your site, if you’re just getting started, you can get overwhelmed by the overload of options. The purpose of this article is to break down every kind of advertising — from how they work to their unique advantages. Read on to figure out what kind of online ads are best suited for your business.1. Search Engine Advertising: Search engine advertising (or Product listings ads (PLA) or shopping ads) involves placing ads on search engine results pages (SERPs). Advertisers bid on keywords, and their ads are displayed when users search for those terms. Advertisers pay only when users click on their ads and and not for the number of times it’s viewed.Advantages of Search Engine ads: A good way to quickly increase your web traffic if your site is still relatively new and you aren’t seeing results from SEO yet Disadvantages of Search Engine ads:Ads will be labeled clearly as “Sponsored,” making the click-through rate (CTR) lower than organic search results2. Social Media Advertising: Social Media Advertising leverages platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok to reach targeted audiences. Advertisers (e.g. Facebook Ads) create highly targeted campaigns based on user demographics, interests, and behaviors and can choose the audience by age, gender, education, job title, location, interests, and even past purchases, enabling you to reach your ideal customers with a message tailored to them. Advertisers can choose from various ad formats, including image ads, carousel ads, and video ads. To maximize your ROI from social media ads, I recommend you conduct A/B testing with short campaigns on the different platforms to see which channels your audience likes to engage with most. Then, zone in and focus on the winning channel.Advantages of social media ads:Depending on the platform, these can be relatively affordableEasy to target the exact audience you want to visit your siteThrough sharing and likes, ads on social media can spread naturally as well Disadvantages of social media ads:Users can leave negative feedback, thereby hurting other users’ impression of your brand3. Display Advertising (or Banner ads): Display Advertising encompasses visual ads that appear on websites, apps, or social media. It includes banner ads, interactive ads, and rich media ads. This is a type of advertising in which a predetermined space on a website is purchased, as “online real estate” for placing one’s ad. The goal of display ads is to get more brand exposure, and is ideal for attracting new customers that have not yet heard of the product. It can also be used for retargeting campaigns, in which you set your ads to show up on the screens of users who have already visited your site, in order to bring them back and further encourage a purchase. You can also set banner ads to be shown to specific demographics, segmenting by gender, age, or region, and choose the time of day for these ads to appear.Advantages of banner ads: Highly customizable in terms of shape, size, placement, and type of content (plain text, image, animation or video)Through the Google Display Network, you have easy access to millions of sites from your Google ads account Disadvantages of banner ads:The internet is oversaturated with banner ads, so people tend to ignore them, resulting in a low click-through rate (CTR)Ad-blockers can prevent users from seeing your ads in the first placeThe cost of the ad space can be expensive4. Video Advertising: Video Advertising can range from short, engaging clips to longer, storytelling formats. Typically that means video content that plays on video-sharing sites like YouTube, Zen and others. They are generally paid for on a cost-per-view basis. Each view costs somewhere between $0.10 ~ $0.30 depending on your target industry and keywords. The most common type are called “TrueView In-Stream Ads.” These are the skippable commercials that play before the main video starts. Advertisers only have to pay for these ads when the user has watched for 30+ seconds or clicked on the ad and opened a URL. There’s also another type of In-Stream ads that are unskippable and play before, in the middle of, or after a video that is 10 minutes or longer. These ads are paid for on a PPC (pay-per-click) basis. Advantages of video ads: Since you generally pay on a CPC (cost-per-click) basis, In-Stream ads are very cost-effective (and even if your ad gets skipped, you can still get a few seconds of brand exposure!)Plenty of opportunities to be creative and stand out from other ads with video content Disadvantages of video ads:You don’t get to choose what videos your ads get played next to, and in the past, there’s been controversy over ads playing next to hate speech and terrorist content If your video ad can be skipped in 5 seconds, it’s challenging to get your message across in time5. Email Marketing: Email Marketing is a direct form of communication where promotional messages are sent to a targeted audience via email. It includes newsletters, product announcements, and personalized offers directly to users’ inboxes, often used for building relationships and nurturing leads (здесь – потенциальный клиент). There are two common methods for advertising with email. One is to insert banner ads and links in the header or footer of email newsletters, and the other is to have users register their preferences, and then send advertising emails that match those preferences. Advantages of email ads:Does not cost anything to send via emailSince the email is stored on the device, the ad will not disappear as long as the email remainsDisadvantages of email ads:Email ads often have a low click-through rate since it’s difficult to get customers to open a promotional message in the first place, and even harder to get them to click on the ad if it’s not specifically relevant to their needs 6. Native ads: Native ads match the look and feel of the websites they’re placed in, thereby not standing out as typical ads would, and instead flow cohesively with the rest of the web page’s design. Examples include sponsored search results on Google, that line up with the rest of the results, and social media ads like on the Instagram story, which you might watch a few seconds in since they appear like normal stories at first. It should be noted, though, that there still has to be a clear label informing the user that this is an ad, like we can see in this example of the Google ads that show up when I search “web design services.” Advantages of native ads:Non-disruptive to users, as compared to pop-ups or distracting bannersMedia publishers can earn money from ads on their site without sacrificing the design or user experienceNative ads work against digital fatigue or the reality that consumers are tuning out from traditional ads, and according to Outbrain, users look at native ads 50% more than banner ads, thereby promising more exposure and a higher click-through rate Disadvantages of native ads:The price for native ads is considerably highYou have to find media sites whose design matches your brand, limiting your options of places to advertise onAnd as a final piece of advice, when choosing an advertising medium, the best thing to do is to define your target audience, advertising budget, and research which channel your audience is likely to be most active on, and base your decision on this. Every business and customer base will be totally different, so you really have to find the medium that works best for you and your current situation.Text 18. Concepts from the field of online advertising: banner, text block, pop-up ads, interstitial advertising, mini websites, collages, and so on. Понятия из области интернет-рекламы: баннер, текстовый блок, байрики, интерстициальная реклама, минисайты, коллажи и тд. The simplest definition of online advertising is “any form of promotion delivered through the internet.” Unfortunately, the simplistic definition of online advertising doesn’t serve us well these days, as the industry has evolved into multiple branches. After all, content marketing, email marketing, advertorials, and websites themselves can also be considered “tools that promote products and services.” And yet, they’re not considered “online ads”, but marketing branches. So a better, more comprehensive definition of online advertising would be “the practice of using the internet to deliver promotional, interactive, and measurable ads to consumers, using platform-specific and industry-wide best practices to ensure laser-accurate ad targeting.” Compared to traditional outlets, online advertising is: less expensive, easier to track, capable of reaching wider audience Online advertising operates through a combination of technology, data, and strategy to deliver targeted ads to potential customers. The process begins with businesses defining clear objectives for their advertising campaigns, such as increasing brand awareness, generating leads, or driving sales. Online advertising platforms, such as Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, and Amazon Ads, collect detailed information about their users, including their interests, geographic location, and browsing behavior. Based on this information, advertisers identify their target audience. Creative teams then develop engaging and relevant ad content, including images, videos, and text, tailored to the preferences and needs of the target audience. Once the ads are live, they are displayed to the targeted audience across the chosen platforms. Throughout the campaign, advertisers monitor the performance of their ads using analytics tools, tracking metrics such as impressions, clicks, conversions, and return on investment (ROI). Based on these insights, they make adjustments to optimize the effectiveness of their campaigns.Concepts from the field of online advertising are: banner, text block, pop-up ads, interstitial advertising, mini websites, collages, and so on.A banner is a rectangular graphic image in GIF or JPG format that is placed on an Internet page and has a hyperlink to the advertiser’s website. A text block is a text advertisement that is placed on the advertiser’s website or in an email and has a hyperlink to the advertiser’s website. 2 Pop-up advertising is a minimized web page that opens as a window on top of the main browser. You can place text, images, CGI forms, and so on on the bike. Interstitial advertising (insert, Interstitials) is a short, but stretched-over-the-entire-screen browser screen saver that appears against the background of website loading. Clicking on it takes you to the advertiser’s website. A mini-website is one or more HTML pages that are hosted on the web publisher’s side. As a rule, a mini-website is dedicated to a specific marketing campaign, product or service. Collage is a type of mini—website in which the advertiser’s information is not located separately on a separate page.There are a few tools that digital marketers and advertisers can use to reach their audiences: Banner ads, Pop-up ads, Interstitial ads, text blocks, and so on. Typically, banner ads are always visible to users without obstructing their experience. In most cases, pop-up ads appear as modals, which block parts of the user interface. They require an action to close them. Banner ads are image-based rectangular graphic displays that occupy the top or bottom of an app’s layout. They can be located anywhere on a website or app, including above-the-fold, below-the-fold, or in-content. Banner ads are the traditional ad format, as they have been around for years. These ads are popular for advertising on websites since they are not text-based. Advertisers use banner advertising to promote brands on their websites in order to attract visitors. Visitors are encouraged to visit the advertiser’s website by clicking on banner ads which need to be relevant and effective by offering an answer to the visitor’s question. Banners usually have relatively low CPMs (cost per mille) due to banner blindness, which causes users to ignore many of the ads. Banner blindness, the phenomenon of users ignoring ads on websites and apps, poses a big challenge for publishers. After all, if users don’t click on the ads on your website or app, advertisers will simply stop buying your ad inventory. And when that happens, your ad revenue will tank. That’s why publishers are constantly on the lookout for new and innovative ways to maximize their ad revenue. The​ ​user​ ​visits​ ​the​ ​landing page,​ ​​​they​ ​first​ ​see​ ​an interstitial​ ​(content​ ​that​ ​prevents​ ​the​ ​user​ ​from accessing​ ​the​ ​landing page)​ ​or​ ​a​ ​form​ ​that​ ​is​ ​difficult​ ​to​ ​dismiss or​ ​requires​ ​extra​ ​steps. The interstitial ads cover the entire screen. Their highly compelling nature and larger size of the banner ads help to grab users’ attention. Ads on banners, on the other hand, are more like silent visitors. The ads sit wordlessly on the edges of the screens without interfering with the content. Interstitial ads are intentionally designed to be intrusive, hindering users from reaching their intended destination. Consequently, this negatively impacts user experience, potentially leading to decreased traffic. Interstitial ads yield much higher revenues than banner ads. In fact, interstitial ads outperform traditional banner ads by an average of 4,094%. It’s virtually impossible to miss an interstitial ad, which means very high viewability. Google has strict guidelines regarding interstitial ads, especially on mobile devices. You must therefore adhere to all of the rules or risk being penalized. These include proper placement, a clear ‘X’ button, and not showing the ads too often.Interstitial can be a page that appears to warn visitors about «18+» content, as well as to request information about a visitor’s age before providing access to the content of the website. Interstitials, for example, can often be found in mobile games that contain paid content. In this case, you can block ads by subscribing to a paid account.The interstitial ad is similar to pop-up advertising, but the former occupies the whole screen. Pop-up ads are interactive landing pages that appear in a new browser window or tab while a user is visiting a website. A pop-up is a graphical user interface (GUI) display area, usually a small window, that suddenly appears («pops up») in the foreground of the visual interface. They typically overlay the main content, grabbing the user’s attention immediately. Their primary goal is to promote products, services, or special offers, often encouraging users to take specific actions, such as signing up in a casino or making a purchase. There are two types of pop ads — popunder and popup formats. Popups open in a new window or tab directly on top of the current webpage. Users see them immediately as they interrupt the browsing experience. Such ads can be perceived as disruptive since they demand immediate attention and often block content. This can lead to annoyance and higher rates of ad blocking.Popunder ads open in a new window or tab behind the current browser window. Users do not see them until they close or minimize their current window, making them less intrusive at first glance. The thing is that they don’t interrupt the user’s current activity. However, because they are hidden initially, they may have lower immediate engagement rates.7 undeniable advantages of pop ads:1. Immediate attention grabber. Pop-ups capture user focus instantly, ensuring that your message is seen right away, unlike static ads that can be overlooked.2. Enhanced CRs. The “aggressive” nature of pop-ups can lead to higher conversion rates by prompting users to act before they leave the site.3. Segmentation capabilities. Pop-ups can be customized based on user behavior, such as time spent on the page or specific actions taken, allowing individualized approach.4. Mobile-friendly format. Many pop-up solutions are optimized for mobile devices, ensuring a seamless experience for users on smartphones and tablets.5. Brand recognition. Consistent use of branded pop-ups can enhance brand recognition and trust, as users become familiar with your promotional style.6. Reduced ad blindness. Unlike traditional banner ads that users often ignore, pop-ups stand out and are less likely to be dismissed as background noise.7. Cheapest format. Generally, pop-up ads are more budget-friendly compared to other advertising strategies. They provide an economical way to lure potential customers and can deliver significant returns when worked with properly. A text block is an element of text without animation or graphics that is used in Internet marketing as an advertising medium. A text block is often understood to be an ad consisting of a headline, copy, contact information, and a link to the advertiser’s website. Some areas of application of text blocks: • websites; • banners; • promotional newsletters. Text blocks can have different purposes: introductory, informative, comparative, etc. Some advantages of using text blocks: • cheap and easy to use; • high loading speed; • accessibility to users who block graphics in browser settings. There are no uniform standards for the design of text blocks, but there are restrictions on the size of the text. They are usually placed on advertising platforms. Their capabilities are quite limited, they cannot shape the company’s style, and they are less memorable. Practice speaking for your learning portfolio.Topic 9. The Internet as an advertising space. Интернет как рекламное пространство. Grammar PracticeВидовременные формы английского глагола в страдательном залоге.Страдательный залог в английском языке (Passive Voice).В английском, как и в русском языке, существует действительный залог (Active Voice) и страдательный (или пассивный) залог (Passive Voice).Употребление действительного залога.1. Когда само по себе действие важнее, чем его исполнитель, и говорящий хочет указать именно на действие. Например: A courier delivers mail every day. – Курьер доставляет почту каждый день. (Active Voice)
The mail is delivered every day. – Почту доставляют каждый день. (Passive Voice)В первом предложении мы указываем исполнителя действия, а во втором используем страдательный залог, так как хотим подчеркнуть само действие, факт доставки, а не его исполнителя.2. Страдательный залог используют, если исполнитель действия неизвестен, неважен или понятен из контекста:These clothes are made in Italy. – Эта одежда изготавливается в Италии.
The new laws will be discussed tomorrow. – Новые законы будут обсуждаться завтра. Поэтому в газетных заголовках и статьях, в объявлениях, инструкциях, рекламных текстах страдательный залог используется чаще чем действительный:The valuable painting was stolen from the museum last night. – Ценная картина была украдена из музея прошлой ночью.
The company was sold. – Компания была продана.
Our vegetables are not sprayed with pesticides. – Наши овощи не обрызгиваются пестицидами.3. Страдательный залог используют, когда говорят о неприятных ситуациях и не хотят никого обвинять, а также чтобы придать высказыванию более вежливый характер:The party was spoilt. – Вечеринка была испорчена. The order wasn’t dispatched yesterday but it will be done tomorrow. – Заказ не был отправлен вчера, но это сделают завтра.Временные формы.Все временные формы действительного залога состоят из двух частей: глагол to be в определенной временной форме и третья форма глагола (причастие прошедшего времени или Past Participle). Как и в активном залоге, в пассивном существуют различные времена, формы, которые мы с вами рассмотрим.Важно помнить, что третья форма глагола всегда присутствует и остается неизменной во всех временных формах действительного залога. Собственно, время высказывания мы определяем по форме глагола to be. Сравним формы действительного и действительного залога:Tense

Если возникает необходимость употребить одно из этих времен, то они заменяются активным залогом или другим временем.Чтобы запомнить все формы страдательного залога и особенности их употребления, обратимся к примерам и пояснениям. Мы рассмотрим наиболее часто используемые формы страдательного залога.Present Simple (обычное, постоянное, регулярное действие)

Мы пишем много писем каждый день. –We write a lot of letters every day.
Много писем пишется каждый день. –
A lot of letters are written every day. Если письма пишут прямо сейчас, в момент речи, то мы используем Present Continuous Passive: Present Continuous (действие происходит в момент речи)

Они пишут письмо сейчас. –
They are writing a letter now.
Письмо пишут прямо сейчас. 
The letter is being written now.Очень распространенная ошибка – использование Present Simple Passive вместо Present Continuous Passive. Не забывайте, что во всех временах группы Continuous должен присутствовать глагол с окончанием -ing, даже в пассивном залоге. Слово being указывает на процессуальность действия. Если вы забываете про вспомогательный глагол being, ваше высказывание меняет смысл и превращается в Present Simple. Сравните:Present Simple Passive
Present Continuous Passive
Эта машина такая грязная! 
Видимо, эту машину нечасто моют. – This car is so dirty! Obviously, it is hardly ever cleaned.
Пойду выпью кофе, пока мою машину моют. –
I will have a cup of coffee while my car is being cleaned.
 Past Simple (завершенное действие в прошлом)

Они написали много писем вчера. –
They wrote a lot of letters yesterday.
Вчера было написано много писем. –
A lot of letters were written yesterday.Past Simple Passive употребляют для описания исторических событий, когда само действие (историческое событие, открытие) важнее того, кто его совершил или неизвестно, кто являлся исполнителем действия:The telephone was invented in 1876. – Телефон был изобретен в 1876 году.
The scientists say that this sculpture was made in the Roman Empire. – Ученые утверждают, что эта скульптура была изготовлена в Римской Империи.В первом примере для нас не важно имя изобретателя телефона, а во втором мы можем только догадываться, кем была изготовлена скульптура. Past Continuous (действие было в процессе в определенный момент в прошлом)

Когда я пришел, они писали письма. –
When I came, they were writing letters.
Когда я пришел, письма писали. –
When I came, the letters were being written.I couldn’t drive yesterday at 6 o’clock. My car was being serviced. – Я не мог пользоваться машиной в шесть часов. Мою машину ремонтировали.
While I was waiting, the room was being cleaned.  – Пока я ожидал, комнату убирали.Еще раз напоминаю вам, что если действие подразумевает процесс, то используется второй вспомогательный глагол being.Present Perfect (действие произошло недавно и важен его результат)

The police have arrested the robbers. –
Полиция задержала грабителей.
The robbers have been arrested by the police.–
Грабители задержаны полицией.Present Perfect Passive часто используют, когда передают новости, если исполнитель действия неважен, неизвестен или, наоборот, понятен из контекста:The annual budget has been adopted. – Принят ежегодный бюджет.
The protests have been suppressed. – Протесты были подавлены.В приведенных примерах, которые вполне можно услышать в новостях, не указывается исполнитель действия, потому что нам и без этого ясно, кто принимает бюджет, подавляет протесты и арестовывает грабителей.Past Perfect (прошедшее действие, предшествующее другому прошедшему)

When I arrived at the office the secretary had already sent the letter.
–Когда я приехал в офис, секретарь уже отправила письмо.

When I arrived at the office the letter had been sent. –

We came in and saw that the room had been cleaned. – Мы вошли и увидели, что в комнате прибрали. Если вы забыли, в каких случаях используется Past Perfect, рекомендуем заглянуть сюда.Future Simple (действие, которое произойдет в будущем)

The secretary will send this letter tomorrow. –
Секретарь отправит это письмо завтра.
This letter will be sent tomorrow. –
Это письмо будет отправлено завтра.
 Future Perfect (действие, которое будет завершено до определенного момента в будущем)

The secretary will have sent this letter by 5 o’clock. –
Секретарь отправит это письмо к пяти часам.
This letter will have been sent by 5 o’clock. –
Это письмо будет отправлено к пяти часам.Что касается будущих времен, их функции в пассивном залоге не отличаются от функций в активном. Часто пассивные формы будущих времен используются в обещаниях и заверениях. Например:The room will be cleaned tomorrow, I promise. – Комната будет убрана завтра, я обещаю.
The report will have been finished by midday. – Отчет будет окончен к полудню.Modal verbs (функция определяется модальным глаголом)

Агент вводится в предложение предлогом BY:The telephone was invented by Alexander Bell. – Телефон был изобретен Александром Беллом.
The damage was caused by the hurricane. – Повреждения были нанесены ураганом.При трансформации предложения из действительного залога в пассивный, дополнение (object) становится подлежащим (subject), а подлежащее становится агентом (agent):

The toys are made with paper, plastic or rubber. – Игрушки делают из бумаги, пластмассы или резины.При переводе из действительного в страдательный залог не указывайте агента, если агент действия неважен, неизвестен или очевиден, а также если в активном залоге в качестве подлежащего указывается: people, somebody, someone, one, they:Active Voice

Средства продвижения товаров и услуг.Text 19. Advertising of goods and services, methods of product promotion, market research, the concept of 4 P. Реклама товаров и услуг, способы продвижение товара, изучение рынка, понятие 4 Р. Back in the day, to market a product, you would create a commercial or take out an ad in the local paper—and that would be it. Nowadays, the product promotion landscape has changed so much that you can reach a global audience with the click of a button. However, the potential for missteps is also much higher when your audience is spread across the globe and immensely diverse: one false move, and you could end up offending an entire culture. We hear of these stories all the time—take the example of Dolce & Gabbana offending China with its stereotyping ad of an Asian woman trying to eat pizza with chopsticks. To avoid a gaffe like this, you need to be aware of the different promotion strategies and best practices for each market—and how to properly execute them. By following the best practices and taking the time to carefully localize your product, you can promote said product successfully on a global scale without running into cultural pitfalls. The four Ps of marketing—product, price, place, promotion—are often referred to as the marketing mix. These are the key elements involved in planning and marketing a product or service, and they interact significantly with each other. Considering all of these elements is one way to approach a holistic marketing strategy. To market any product successfully, i.e., to nail the last P, which stands for “promotion,” you need to have a firm understanding of the previous 3 Ps: product, price, and place. Product. In order to market your product overseas, you first need to make sure there’s a demand for it in the target market. It’s important to understand the needs and wants of your target customers and ensure that your product is the right fit.Price. Pricing is another key element of international marketing, and it’s especially important when you want to promote a product globally. When setting a price for your product, you need to take into account the local economic conditions, the perceived value of your product, and what your competition is doing. Some businesses choose to simply convert their prices from their home currency to the local currency, while others adjust their prices to better reflect the local market. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here—it really depends on your product and your target market.Place. Place refers to the distribution channels you use to get your product into the hands of your target customers. When selling overseas, you need to be aware of the local distribution channels and make sure your product is available where your target customers are looking for it. For example, in China, ecommerce is huge. In 2021, China contributed to more than half of the world’s ecommerce retail sales, with the sales value surpassing the combined total of Europe and the United States. So, if you’re targeting the Chinese market, you need to make sure your product is available on major ecommerce platforms like Alibaba and JD.com.Once you’ve got the first 3 Ps of marketing down, you can start thinking about the last one — promotion. Getting the word out about your product and generating interest among potential customers is essential to your success, but each market is different, so you need to tailor your promotion strategy to the local culture. Do your research. Before you start promoting your product in a new market, it’s important to do your research on what customers really want and gain a deep understanding of the local cultural context they’re embedded in. Some questions you should ask yourself during market research include:Who are my target customers?What are their needs and wants?How do they consume media?What social networks do they use?What trends are popular in the local market?What is the general attitude towards marketing and advertising?Who are the key influencers in the target market?What are the needs, interests, and preferences of the target audience?How do local values and traditions affect their purchase behavior?At what price are they willing to buy your product?What is your unique selling proposition (USP) over local competitors?Localize your storytelling. Traditional translation isn’t enough when it comes to marketing—you need your content to resonate with the target audience on an emotional level. Adapt your content to the target market taking into account the local culture, customs, and values to ensure that the entirety of your content—text, layout, images, colors, etc.—appeals to the target audience. For example: Similar but not quite the same: The website design of Japan-based Rakuten in Japanese and French.Launch introductory offers in each market. Everyone loves a good deal. That’s why promotion and introductory offers are such powerful marketing tools—and you can use them to your advantage when you enter new markets. If done right, an introductory offer can increase brand awareness and create a solid customer base that will stay with you even after the promotion ends.Partner with local companies. One of the best ways to enter a new market is by partnering with a local company that already has a good reputation there. This can help you get your foot in the door and start building trust with potential customers. In most cases, it’s best to partner with a company that complements your business rather than competes with it. You could also offer a discount to customers who buy both products, which would incentivize the partnership and create a win-win situation.Work with social media influencers. Social media influencers can be a powerful force in promoting your product to a new audience. In most cases, it’s recommended to start off working with micro-influencers, who have fewer followers but are more engaged with their audience. Micro-influencers usually have a high level of trust with their followers, which can translate into sales for you. To find the right social media influencers to work with, start by looking at who’s already talking online about your product. Collect local reviews and testimonials. Reviews and testimonials from local customers can be very helpful in promoting your product to a new audience. They serve as social proof that your product is worth buying and can help you build trust with potential customers. You can also offer discounts or other incentives in exchange for reviews.Create local content. One of the best ways to reach new audiences is by creating local content that’s relevant to them. International product marketing is all about localization. By understanding the local culture and creating relevant content, you can connect with potential customers on an emotional level and promote your product more effectively.The model of the 4Ps can be used when you are planning a new product launch, evaluating an existing product, or trying to optimize the sales of an existing product.A careful analysis of these four factors—product, price, place, and promotion—helps a marketing professional devise a strategy that successfully introduces or reintroduces a product to the public. The focus on the four Ps—product, price, place, and promotion—has been a core tenet of marketing since the 1950s. Three newer Ps expand the marketing mix for the 21st century.People places the focus on the personalities who represent the product. In the current era, that means not only sales and customer service employees but social media influencers and viral media campaigns.Process is logistics. Consumers increasingly demand fast and efficient delivery of the things they want, when they want them.Physical evidence is perhaps the most thoroughly modern of the seven Ps. If you’re selling diamond jewelry on a website, it must be immediately clear to the consumer that you are a legitimate established business that will deliver as promised. A professionally designed website with excellent functionality, an «About» section that lists the principals of the company and its physical address, professional packaging, and efficient delivery service are all critical to convincing the consumer that your product is not only good, it’s real.Practice speaking for your learning portfolio.Topic 10. Means of promoting goods and services. Средства продвижения товаров и услуг.Text 20*. Direct marketing, exhibitions and fairs (trade fairs). Прямой маркетинг, выставки-ярмарки. In contrast to mass advertising, direct marketing is a form of advertising in which the potential customer is directly addressed. This can be effected by letters, e-mails, telephone campaigns, trade fairs. The aim is to provoke a reaction to the marketing campaign from the customer. This does not necessarily mean a sale. It can also be a communication activity like returning a fax form, filling out a raffle coupon or visiting an event. Good direct marketing is often characterized by an orientation of the promotion activity towards a certain target group. It leads to significantly higher response rates, as the advertising fits the customers’ needs better than the mass communication. Trade fair marketing stands as a pillar of direct engagement and networking in today’s digitally-driven business landscape. These events: trade shows and exhibitions, — offer a distinctive platform for businesses to not only display their products but also to cultivate brand recognition, establish genuine connections, stand out in a crowded market and leave a lasting impression on potential clients, partners, and investors. These events are organized gatherings where companies from a specific industry or multiple industries come together to showcase their offerings, network with potential clients, partners, and industry peers, and stay updated on the latest trends and innovations. Trade fair marketing involves various activities and tactics aimed at maximizing the impact of a company’s presence at the event. This includes pre-event preparations such as setting objectives, selecting the right trade fair, designing an appealing booth, and training staff. During the event, companies engage with visitors through interactive experiences, demonstrations, and networking. Additionally, they collect leads and data for future follow-up. Beyond the physical presence at the fair, trade fair marketing extends to digital channels. This encompasses social media outreach, content creation, and post-event follow-up to maintain and nurture the relationships established during the event.All elements of the trade fair marketing strategy must be carefully researched and designed before the trade show begins. 1. Identifying target segments is a foundational step in tailoring your trade fair marketing efforts for maximum impact. This process involves breaking down the broader market into specific groups of individuals or businesses who share similar characteristics, needs, or behaviors. Also you should analyze your buyer personas and the following factors:Challenges Faced: Identify the specific challenges and pain points that attendees face within their respective industries. This insight allows you to tailor content and offerings that directly address these concerns.Goals for Attendance: Understand why attendees are coming to your trade fair. Are they seeking networking opportunities, industry insights, or product information? Knowing their goals enables you to design an event experience that fulfills these objectives.Anticipated Gains: Discover what attendees hope to gain from their participation. Whether it’s knowledge, connections, or tangible solutions, aligning your offerings with their expectations increases the likelihood of their attendance.Remaining attuned to industry trends is a critical factor in positioning your trade fair as a cutting-edge and relevant event. This involves actively monitoring emerging technologies, market shifts, and evolving consumer preferences within your industry.2. Setting clear and well-defined objectives is the cornerstone of any successful trade fair marketing strategy. 3. A well-crafted marketing plan is the backbone of a successful trade fair. It encompasses pre-event, on-site, and post-event strategies to engage attendees, enhance brand visibility, and drive meaningful interactions. 4. Ensuring active and meaningful participation from attendees is crucial for the success of a trade fair. Here are strategies to maximize attendee engagement:4.1 Gamification and ContestsGamification involves incorporating elements of game design and mechanics into non-game contexts, such as a trade fair. How to Implement Gamification at Trade Fairs:Interactive Challenges: Create interactive challenges or scavenger hunts within the fair. Attendees can complete tasks, visit specific booths, or engage in activities to earn points or rewards.Leaderboards: Display leaderboards to showcase top-performing attendees based on their participation and achievements. This fosters a sense of competition and encourages attendees to be more active.Prizes and Giveaways: Offer attractive prizes for various accomplishments, such as visiting a certain number of booths, attending specific sessions, or engaging in networking activities.Augmented Reality (AR) Experiences: Incorporate AR elements that attendees can interact with through their smartphones or special devices. This adds a dynamic and immersive dimension to the event.Interactive Apps: Develop a dedicated event app with gamified features. This could include quizzes, polls, or challenges related to the trade fair.4.2 Matchmaking and Networking ToolsNetworking is a primary reason attendees participate in trade fairs. Facilitating meaningful connections can greatly enhance their overall experience.How to Facilitate Networking:Facilitated Networking Sessions: Host structured networking sessions, roundtable discussions, or speed networking events. These activities provide attendees with opportunities to meet and engage with like-minded professionals.Interactive Lounges or Zones: Create designated areas where attendees can gather for informal networking. Provide comfortable seating, refreshments, and conversation starters to encourage interaction.Digital Business Card Exchange: Implement technology that allows attendees to exchange digital business cards with a simple tap or scan. This streamlines the process of collecting and managing contacts.4.3 Feedback Loops and SurveysWhy Gathering Feedback is Crucial:Improvement Opportunities: Feedback provides insights into what worked well and what could be enhanced for future events.Attendee Satisfaction: Understanding attendee satisfaction levels helps in gauging the overall success and value of the trade fair.Identifying Trends and Preferences: Feedback can reveal emerging trends, preferences, and areas of interest within your industry.How to Gather Feedback:Post-Event Surveys: Send out surveys to attendees, exhibitors, and partners after the event. Ask specific questions about their experience, what they found valuable, and areas for improvement.Real-time Feedback Stations: Set up designated stations or kiosks where attendees can provide immediate feedback during the event.Social Media Listening: Monitor social media platforms for mentions, comments, and reviews related to the trade fair. Engage with attendees and take note of their feedback.Feedback Forums or Panels: Host dedicated sessions where attendees can openly share their thoughts and suggestions for improvement.By implementing these strategies, you create an environment that encourages active participation and meaningful connections. This not only enhances the overall attendee experience but also contributes to the success and reputation of your trade fair in the long run.Organizing a successful trade fair requires a meticulous blend of strategic planning, audience understanding, and effective marketing.Text 21*. Branding, the main terms of image advertising. Брендинг, основные термины имиджевой рекламы. Image advertising is a strategy aimed at forming a specific image of a product or brand that differentiates it from its competitors in the minds of consumers. Instead of focusing on the technical characteristics of products, it concentrates on creating mental associations that elicit an emotional response. The main task of image advertising is not direct sales but creating a positive image of the product and shaping the values it represents. For instance, Mac’s advertising actively uses terms like «cool» to differentiate its products from competitors. Brands like Mercedes-Benz and Rolex build associations with reliability and success, which results from effective image management. Raffaello’s advertising, in turn, associates its product with romantic moments and gifting. Branding is the act of connecting a product (or business) with a particular name, symbol, or features and ideas to make it recognizable. Branding gives your business a personality. And customers become loyal to a brand if they relate to the brand’s personality. Your brand can be trustworthy, luxurious, passionate, tasty, fun, innovative, caring, professional, or safe. It all depends on your target audience and how you want to position your business in the market. A great example of successful branding is Old Spice’s funny commercial for the Super Bowl. The aim of the ad campaign was to attract younger consumers and gain a bigger market share. The slogan of the campaign was “Smell like a man, man”. The campaign’s face was Isaiah Mustafa, who was able to connect to the audience and reposition Old Spice as a brand associated with confidence and masculinity. Branding is the associations your customers have while interacting with your business, its products, and services. Each interaction shapes those associations; the buying decision is not solely based on product features. This is why customer service and social media presence are key factors in branding, as they form a relationship with customers. Negative associations can sometimes arise when you least expect them to. Let’s have an example of branding gone wrong. When Mercedes-Benz entered the Chinese market, its brand name was translated to “Bensi,” which means “rush to die” in Mandarin. The company had to rebrand to prevent spreading a harmful message, thus creating a controversial brand image. The purpose of branding is to create a loyal community of consumers around an idea and shared values, and, of course, to encourage using your products or services. Branding benefits your business: you make your company recognizable, build trust with customers and stakeholders, gain competitive advantage, connect with your audience on an emotional level, create employee satisfaction and attract new talents into your company which will help to maintain a positive brand image.  Now let’s break down the five main components of a brand that should be present in your brand style guide.1. Brand message and values. A brand message is a way to connect to your target audience. It’s the core of what your business is and does, and thus, should be reflected in every piece of content you share. With the right brand message, you can inspire and persuade customers to choose you. Here are some great examples of taglines and slogans: Apple – Think different. Nike – Just do it. Walmart – Save money. Live better. Coca-Cola – Taste the Feeling. Mercedes-Benz – The best or nothing. The simpler your message is, the better. If your values resonate with your audience, you have a good chance of getting loyal customers.2. Brand personality. Your company’s personality is the way you embody your brand message. Brand personality helps you connect to your audience on an emotional level and makes you different from your competition. Brand identity is built by assigning human characteristics and traits to your brand. Like in human communication, people connect to brands that match their own personalities. So, you need to choose your brand personality wisely and align it with your target audience.3. Logo design. Your company logo is a symbol associated with your company and is the face of your brand identity. Branding statistics show that 75 percent of customers recognize a brand by its logo. What comes to your mind when you see a bitten apple or a mermaid? The logos of Apple and Starbucks, of course. From your logo design to your logo colors, every detail should match and complement your brand. One of the important things to consider while designing a logo is where it’s going to appear. Obviously, it will be used in different formats, sizes, and colors, on different backgrounds and branding assets. A quick trick is to use branding mockups to preview your logo on different promo materials and see if it looks the way you want it to. 4. Color Palette. Never underestimate the power of colors. Colors convey certain emotions and feelings, so you need to find the right ones. Choose 1-3 primary colors and a few secondary ones to complete your brand’s color palette. Add the color specifications to your brand style guide, and don’t forget to address the recommended combinations as well.5. Images, videos and Graphics. Another inseparable part of your brand is the visuals you create and distribute across your website and social media. How to stand out when so many companies use the same stock images and videos to promote their products/services? By being unique and creative. Each platform has its own recommended image sizes and video dimensions, so make sure that your visuals are scalable to fit the specific requirements. Define the style of your imagery and keep consistency on all platforms. The same applies to branded videos, which deserve a special place in your marketing plan. If you find that hiring professionals to make your branded videos is too expensive, use ready-made video templates. It’s an excellent way to save time and resources without sacrificing the quality of your videos.   In a world of wide choices and opportunities, it’s hard for a company to climb to the top and become a necessity. Building a strong brand gives you a chance to connect to people on a much more personal level and become a part of their lives. The strongest brands are built around an idea and purpose. Define yours, communicate it to your audience, and stay loyal to it with every asset of your brand.Terms of Branding Advertising:Branding (promotional), the distribution of merchandise with a brand name or symbol imprintedBrand management, the application of marketing techniques to a specific product, product line, or brand Employer branding, the application of brand management to recruitment marketing and internal brand engagement Internet branding, brand management on the Internet Nation branding, the application of marketing and brand management techniques for the advancement of a country Place branding, the application of marketing and place promotion techniques for the advancement of country subdivisions (mostly tourism and investments)Personal branding, people and their careers marketed as brands (also reputation equity) Co-branding, two companies or brands partnering on a product or service Branding agency, a type of marketing agency, group or a firm which specializes in creating brands. Grammar Practice. Modal verbs and their equivalents. Модальные глаголы и их эквиваленты. Как вы знаете, в английском языке есть глаголы, которые выражают определенные действия, например: (to) write – писать, (to) answer – отвечать, (to) sing – петь. Но есть также особая группа глаголов, которые выражают не само действие, а лишь отношение к этому действию. Такие глаголы называют модальными, среди них чаще всего используются глаголы can, may, must, have to и should. Они имеют самое общее значение и могут употребляться во многих ситуациях. Например: My sister can dance very well. – Моя сестра умеет очень хорошо танцевать. May I come in? – Могу я войти? You must eat healthy food. – Ты должен есть здоровую пищу.Виды отношений к действию. 1.      I can go to New York. – Я могу поехать в Нью-Йорк (способность, возможность). (Рис. 2)2.      I must go to New York. – Я должен поехать в Нью-Йорк (необходимость).3.      You must go to New York. – Ты должен поехать в Нью-Йорк (приказ).4.      May I go to New York? – Можно мне поехать в Нью-Йорк? (спрашивание разрешения).5.      You may go to New York. – Ты можешь поехать в Нью-Йорк (разрешение, позволение).6.      You should go to New-York. – Тебе следует поехать в Нью-Йорк (совет). 7.      I have to go to New York. – Я вынужден поехать в Нью-Йорк (обязанность).Модальные же глаголы не изменяются по лицам и числам и, соответственно, не имеют окончания -s в 3-м лице единственного числа. То есть, мы скажем: He can sing (а не He cans sing). – Он умеет петь.За модальными глаголами обязательно должен следовать смысловой глагол.Например: I can do everything (а не I can everything). – Я могу делать все (а не я могу все). Смысловой глагол, следующий за модальным, употребляется без частицы to (кроме глаголов have to и be able to).Например: They can write (а не They can to write). – Они умеют писать. We may come in (а не We may to come in). – Мы можем войти.Но: You have to go now. – Ты должен идти сейчас.We are able to help them. – Мы можем им помочь.      Также важно отметить, что модальные глаголы не имеют -ing формы. Мы не можем сказать ни I am canning, ни I am musting, ни I am maying. Только I can, I must, I may. Для построения утвердительных предложений с модальными глаголами модальный глагол нужно поставить после подлежащего. Смысловой глагол ставится после модального. Например: I can answer this question. – Я могу ответить на этот вопрос. You must do your homework. – Ты должен сделать домашнее задание. Для построения вопросительных и отрицательных предложений с модальными глаголами (кроме модального глагола have to и be able to) нам не потребуются другие вспомогательные глаголы. Это еще одна особенность модальных глаголов. Чтобы задать вопрос, необходимо просто вынести модальный глагол перед подлежащим. Например: Can you answer this question? – Ты можешь ответить на этот вопрос? Must she do her homework? – Она должна сделать домашнее задание?May they come home later? – Им можно домой прийти позже?Для образования отрицательных предложений после модального глагола необходимо поставить отрицательную частицу not либо использовать сокращенные формы. Обратите внимание, что модальный глагол can с отрицательной частицей not пишется слитно.Например: Cannot = can’t, Could not = couldn’t, Must not = mustn’t, Might not = mightn’t, Should not = shouldn’t Что касается модального глагола have to, то для построения вопросительных и отрицательных предложений с этим глаголом нам понадобится вспомогательный глагол do (для настоящего времени) или did (для прошедшего времени). Например: Do you have to go right now? – Тебе нужно идти прямо сейчас? Did she have to work on Sunday? – Ей пришлось работать в воскресенье? She doesn’t have to visit us. – Ей не обязательно навещать нас.They didn’t have to answer all his questions. – Им не нужно было отвечать на все его вопросы. 1. Модальный глагол can на русский язык обычно переводится как «могу», «умею».Он выражает:- физическую или умственную способностьE.g., My mother can speak four languages – Моя мама умеет говорить на 4 языках. — возможностьE.g., I can call you after 5 p.m. – Я могу позвонить тебе после пяти.2. Модальный глагол may на русский язык обычно переводится как «могу», «можно», «возможно».Он выражает:— позволениеE.g.,  They may write in a pencil – Они могут писать карандашом.— вероятностьE.g., It may be cold tonight – Вечером может быть холодно/Возможно, вечером будет холодно.Модальный глагол should на русский язык обычно переводится как «следует», «должен».Он выражает:— советE.g., You should be more careful – Тебе следует быть более внимательным.— обязательствоYou should finish your report by Friday – Ты должен закончить отчет к пятнице. 3. Модальный глагол must на русский язык обычно переводится как «должен», «нужно», «обязан».Он выражает:— приказE.g., You must study hard – Ты должен упорно учиться.— обязанность, необходимостьE.g., I must call my doctor – Я должен позвонить врачу. Как уже было сказано, у модальных глаголов есть свои особенности, отличающие их от смысловых глаголов. Так, многие модальные глаголы имеют форму только настоящего времени (e.g., must, should). Это значит, что они не могут использоваться ни в прошедшем, ни в будущем времени. Глаголы can и may могут использоваться в прошедшем времени, однако форм будущего времени у них все же нет. Более того, для выражения прошедшего времени у глаголов can и may есть особые формы – could и might соответственно.Например: Present I may sit there. = Я могу (мне разрешено) там сидеть.She can play the piano. = Она может (умеет) играть на фортепиано.Past I might sit there. = Я мог (мне было разрешено) там сидеть.I could play the piano. = Я могла (умела) играть на фортепиано. Для восполнения недостающих форм используются эквиваленты модальных глаголов. Они созданы специально для того, чтобы «выручать» модальные глаголы там, где те использоваться не могут, а также эквиваленты могут использоваться вместо самих модальных глаголов. Эквивалентом модального глагола can является to be able to, где able – способный. Этот эквивалент может использоваться в настоящем (наряду с can), прошедшем (наряду с could) и будущем неопределенном времени.Например: Present I can draw. = I am able to draw. = Я могу рисовать.Past I could draw. = I was able to draw. = Я мог рисовать.Future I will be able to draw. = Я смогу рисовать. (Рис. 9)Эквивалентом модального глагола must является to have to. Этот эквивалент может использоваться в настоящем (наряду с must), прошедшем и будущем неопределенном времени.Например: Present I must help her. = I have to help her. = Я должен ей помочь.Past I had to help her. = Я должен был ей помочь.Future I will have to help her. = Я буду вынужден ей помочь. Разница между must и have toКак мы уже знаем, модальный глагол have to используется вместо must в прошедшем и будущем времени. Однако есть между ними разница не только в грамматическом аспекте.Модальный глагол must сам по себе очень сильный глагол. Еще его называют личным. То есть, вы можете его использовать, если хотите, чтобы кто-то безоговорочно исполнил ваш приказ. You must help her! – Ты должен помочь ей!Have to, в свою очередь, используется, когда что-то необходимо сделать в силу определенных обстоятельств (не зависящих от вас), и он часто переводится как «вынужден». Например: There was a sign, so I had to turn to the left. – Там был знак, поэтому мне пришлось свернуть налево.I don’t want to say this but I have to. – Я не хочу это говорить, но я вынужден.And now let’s do some exercises to understand the use of modal verbs and their substitutes better.Exercise 11. Please, fill the gaps with the necessary modal verb or its substitute (in necessary form) – can, could, be able to, may, might, must, have to, should:1. When my mother was 6 she ___ read and write. 2. If you want to pass your exam you___ study much harder.3. I think you ___ pay more attention to grammar rules.4. Take an umbrella. It___ rain. 5. I ___ drive but I don’t have a car.6. Helen left before the end of the concert. She ___ go home early.7. You ___ not fill in this form with a pencil.8. Next year he will ___ speak German fluently.9. You look very bad. You ___ consult your doctor.10. Tomorrow I will ___ work all day.

It is essential for marketers to ensure their marketing and advertising connects with their target audience, which is what gives them success.

Text 23. Planning an advertising campaign and its stages. Планирование рекламной кампании, ее этапы.

If an enterprise intends to conquer the market or even part of it, then large-scale advertising campaigns are indispensable. Taking into account the competitive environment, consumer selectivity and the specifics of marketing measures in general, a strictly scientific approach should be followed.

The main stages of planning an advertising campaign

Spreading a new product, brand or idea to the masses is a long and costly process. To achieve the goals of the company, complex promotional measures will be required: advertising on various media, image publications in the media, participation in various events, even non-advertising ones.

What are the stages and how are they different?

Planning an advertising campaign is subject to the following sequence of actions:

  1. Research.
  1. Budget.
  1. Setting goals.
  1. Locate location.
  1. Define duration for each campaign.
  1. Format selection.
  1. Design and development.
  1. Correction and revision.
  1. Planning the company during campaigns.
  1. Launch of advertising campaign.
  1. Performance evaluation.

Given the specific features, each of the stages deserves special attention. Let us discuss some of them.

Market and target audience research. Planning an advertising campaign starts with thorough research. They should be carried out in several directions: studying the market, customer needs, the marketing situation on the market, the approaches of competitors — what they focus on and how they promote their product.

The market should be considered by segments. Also, strategic planning of advertising campaigns should focus as much as possible on drawing up a portrait of a potential client: what he does, what problems he has, from which channels he receives information and how an advertising campaign can get into his field of vision.

Define the budget. Planning an advertising campaign takes it to the next level when budgeting for upcoming events. There is no specific example of an estimate, since the cost of services in each case is purely individual. The total budget also depends on the following factors:

  • Ad placement. Traditionally, these are television, newspapers, magazines, radio and special editions.
  • Terms of placement. Media resources encourage serious advertisers. In practice, most are ready to provide discounts and bonuses for the volume of advertising or the duration of the placement period.
  • Enterprise budget. How much is the company willing to spend on advertising? What is the system for distributing funds? Usually the budget for marketing and promotional measures is approved at the beginning of the year. Based on this, it makes sense to schedule campaigns as early as possible.
  • The scale of the campaign. Is the campaign planned for one city, for the whole country, for a certain circle of clients or internationally? In each case, the budget will be very different.

Goals. Each measure in the field of marketing and advertising should have its own clearly defined goals. Having big ambitions is good. But for efficiency, it is more important to rely on the real state of affairs. If the first stage of planning an advertising campaign is carried out as detailed and clear as possible, then it will be easier to determine the goals. There may be several. But for one campaign, it is advisable to choose only one goal. It could be:

  • Increase awareness brand.
  • Formation of a positive opinion about the company.
  • Introducing consumers to the new product.
  • Increase sales.
  • Expanding market reach.
  • Elimination of competitors.

The specificity of the goal simplifies the task of achieving it. For example, if a company is running an advertising campaign to increase sales, then it should choose placements where the consumer will be most inclined to buy — a supermarket or a store. Product design, communication, and ad format will need to consider behavioral factors.

Where to post? The industry offers a variety of types of advertising space. Traditional Options:

  • TV channels.
  • Newspapers and magazines.
  • Radio.

But trends in the world of advertising are changing and now virtual advertising space can compete:

  • Websites.
  • Social networks.
  • Advertising portals.
  • Contextual advertising.
  • Affiliate networks for advertising.

Launch. From the moment of launch, specialists should work in two directions: tracking the progress of the campaign and its effectiveness. For this purpose, statistical data is collected for specific periods of time from the sales, marketing, logistics and accounting departments.

By analyzing the sales graph, you can determine the degree of effectiveness of the launched campaign. If the desired effect is not achieved, then you should look for shortcomings and fix them in the reports.

In conclusion. The main stages of planning an advertising campaign are not limited to this. Any advertising move is multifaceted and does not follow uniform rules. On the contrary, the advertising industry loves exceptions to the rules, non-standard approaches and original solutions. Moreover, these requirements apply not only to the submission format. Ways are encouraged in which costs are minimal and profits are high. Gadgets today are confidently competing for the role of an effective advertising plane, leaving behind television. Such conditions create the most favorable conditions for businesses to easily achieve their goals at minimal cost.

Text 27. Competitor analysis. Изучение конкурентов.

You think you know your competitors. You’ve done a cursory Google search, glanced at their websites, and bought their product once or twice. But do you know what makes them tick? Understanding your competitors at a deep level is one of the most critical and overlooked components of business strategy. Getting inside your competitor’s head can reveal vital insights into their positioning, messaging, pricing, partnerships, and more. This intel can help you stay one step ahead. In this article, we’ll explore the fundamentals of competitor analysis and how to use these insights to crush your competition. Let’s dive in.

You’re probably thinking – I know who my competitors are; what more do I need? Here’s the thing: your competitors are working day and night to beat you. They’re analysing your every move, uncovering your weaknesses, and finding ways to win over your customers. You’re at a massive disadvantage if you’re not doing the same. Competitor analysis gives you an intimate understanding of their strategies so you can counter them. It also reveals gaps in the market you can exploit before someone else does. Simply put, ignoring competitor analysis is negligent. To succeed in business today, you must consistently study and keep tabs on the competition. To study competitors, you can follow these recommendations:

  • Identify the main competitors. To do this, you need to find online advertisements and search results for a product or service category. Then repeat the search with different terms and keywords related to the business and collect the names of competitors.
  • Explore the official websites of competing companies. You need to look at the stated missions, goals, slogans, product reviews, etc. This will help you make sure that the companies are really competitors and find additional information about their offers.
  • Explore a competitor’s product as a customer. You need to install a competitor’s product (if it’s mobile) and register (if it’s web-based). Then study it deeply and take screenshots of all the stages — settings, key modules, functions, workflows, and more.
  • Explore online and social activity of competitors. You need to follow them on social media, watch their videos, read their blog posts, and subscribe to their newsletters.
  • Track online reviews. To do this, you can use review sites such as Capterra and TrustPilot. They post reviews that let you know what users think of their competitors.

For a more accurate and high-quality analysis of competitors, you can contact a professional business analyst.

Text 28. Evaluation of the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.

Оценка эффективности рекламной кампании.

To evaluate the effectiveness of an advertising campaign, you need: Select a measurement tool. The depth of the collected data, the speed of analysis, and the success of evaluating the effectiveness of advertising depend on this. Collect and organize the data. You need to collect all the data from the selected measurement tool and organize it clearly and concisely. Analyze and interpret the data. It is necessary to identify patterns, correlations, and anomalies around advertising that show audience behavior and campaign effectiveness. Draw conclusions. Based on the analysis, significant conclusions can be drawn about the effectiveness of advertising.

Advertising effectiveness measures how well a brand’s marketing strategies resonate with its intended audience and yield the desired results. It evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of particular ad campaigns and identifies the profitability— or the return on investment (ROI) your marketing efforts provide. Often, businesses use advertising as a significant means of revenue. Hence, determining its effectiveness is crucial to ensure gains. A competent advertising campaign doesn’t only boost sales and grow prospective customer base, but it also enriches brand perception. Measuring advertising efficacy facilitates understanding the influence and extent of your campaign, enabling you to identify the optimum level of exposure and the components that work or don’t with your marketing approach. Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all formula for measuring advertising effectiveness—it varies for each brand. If you measure the effectiveness of your advertising campaign, you are likely to deliver effective marketing campaigns. Various methods can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of an advertising campaign, for example:

  • Surveys and customer feedback. This allows you to get direct input from the target audience.
  • A/B-testing and conversion tracking. Experiments with variations to determine optimal efficiency.
  • Digital analytics and metrics. Using data from online platforms to track engagement.
  • Monitoring of interaction with ads. It includes tracking user activity after viewing content. This method allows you to identify what actions users perform after interacting with ads, such as visiting a website, filling out a form, or making a purchase.
  • Analysis of comments and the overall level of user engagement. It can provide valuable information about the perception of a brand and its products. High activity and positive reviews usually indicate a good perception of the advertisement.
  • Using analytics systems. Platforms such as Yandex.Metrica, Google Analytics collect statistics — data about users, traffic sources, and behavior on the site. They help analyze campaigns by tracking the budget, the number of clicks, conversions, and the cost of actions.

Measuring a campaign’s performance gives marketers the opportunity to be more strategic, efficient, and effective in their efforts, which promotes growth and success in a competitive landscape.
