This book argues for the study of consumption and its relationship with media images, particularly advertising, from a cultural perspective. Focused on Brazil, it draws on decades of research by the author and engages with theory and concepts from a range of classic anthropological works. The chapters examine how advertising professionals view their craft, the resistance to capitalism amongst native Brazilians, images of women and their bodies in magazines, and the case of the first soccer player to become a national media celebrity. Rocha supports the study of consumption as a classification system that materializes culture and creates relations between people and goods. The book presents advertising as a mode of magical thinking that mediates the passage from the machine-driven sphere of production to the humanized sphere of consumption, converting meaningless impersonal things into goods that have name, origin, identity and purpose. It will be of interest to anthropologists, sociologists and others working on advertising, marketing, communications, and consumer research.

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,3, , language: English, abstract: The following work will deal with the topic of commercial influence towards the consumer by using different strategies in different types of media. The AIDA strategy works consciously. Its aim is to make the customer pay attention to the advertisement, to make them feel involved and to develop a wish for the product. Using repetitions, emotions and addressing a community are strategies that work subconsciously. Repetitions stay in mind for a longer time and connect the advertisement to a picture of the brand. Emotions are created by leading through a story and making the consumer feel good to create a positive emotion about the product, too. Using the community works with the help of idols and with the opinion of the majority of people to make the consumer follow a certain sense of belonging. The strategies are types of communication because the supplier sends a message through an advertisement to the consumer who shows a reaction to the advertisement. Digital advertising is the future if advertising. Search engines, Social Media Channels and video platforms are used to advertise because people spend more time on their mobile phone than on a desktop, watching TV or listing to the radio. For the suppliers, it is easy to collect personal date online. Using the personal data, they create personalized advertisements to offer more successful advertisements by knowing the consumer’s wishes better. That means, the consumer has to pay attention to be less influenced by all these strategies.
