Although there ate many studies on cross-cultural comparison of advertising appeals, very little is known about how receivers from different cultures process visual images in global advertising. The purpose of this study is to examine how cultural differences between East Asians and Westerners influence the cognitive process of visual images from standardized global advertising by employing the Nisbett's framework of holistic/analytic thought. Nisbett contends that East Asian tend to attend to the context and the relations between objects and contexts as holistic thinkers while Americans tend to see the worlds analytically. The results of a experimental study conducted using 80 subjects from Korea and the United States suggest that Korean participants are more likely to mention relatively peripheral, nonsalient, or background information than are American participants. Thus, this study support the Nisbett's notion that East Asians are more sensitive to contextual information than are Westerners and challenge the belief that standardized visual images are part of a "universal language".

The purpose of this study was to investigate changes to visual expressions in apartment sales ads in newspapers since the 2000s. For this purpose, the study compared and examined advertisements in 2010~2018 for their content. Apartment sales ads in the newspapers of Busan were analyzed according to the types of visual expressions and advertisement models. The brands(national and local brands) were categorized according to the types of visual expressions(copywriting-centric, visual-centric, and mixed ones) and whether an advertisement model was used or not(used and not used). The findings show that visual-centric ads were most used in apartment sales ads by national brands in 2010~2011 and recorded a higher usage rate by local brands during the same period. In 2017~2018, mixed forms of visual expressions were used more in the ads. The percentage of visual-centric ads made a considerable decrease among local brands. As for the use of advertisement models, most of the brands used one in 2010~2011, but advertisement models almost disappeared in apartment sales ads in 2017~2018. These differences were more prominent among local brands. The findings indicate that there were differences in expressive strategies in apartment sales ads among brands. The findings are expected to provide useful practical implications for the visual expression strategies of apartment sales ads.

Sonic branding is defined as creation and management of brand value by using sounds. Among various methods of sonic branding, sonic logo, i.e., brand’s acoustic identification element, is the most widely used form and usually combined with visual logo. Although sonic branding has become an increasingly important tool for marketers, little academic research has been done on this topic. The current study investigates neural responses to sonic branding using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Brain activity of 15 right-handed participants was monitored with 3T MRI machine, while they viewed sequentially presented pictures of brand logos (20 visual logos usually accompanied by sonic logos and 20 visual logos unaccompanied by sonic logos) without sound. Results showed that brain areas known to be associated with auditory imagery (including superior temporal gyrus, STG), showed greater activation for the visual logos usually accompanied by sonic logos compared to visual logos unaccompanied by sonic logos, although actual sound was not presented during scanning. The degree of familiarity participants have with the brand and its advertisements was correlated positively with signal strength in these areas.

최근 디지털 방송이 시작됨에 따라 방송 채널이 다변화하고 그 수도 많아지고 있다. 현재 방송되고 있는 디지털 당송에 지상파 방송과 케이블 TV의 그 방송까지 고려한다면 시청자가 접합 수 있는 방송은 다양하다. 기업들은 주요 홍보 매체인 방송을 통해 자신들의 상품을 광고로 내보낸다. 또한 자신들의 광고에 대한 모니터링을 통해 광고가 계약한 시간, 횟수, 광고의 길이에 맞게 방영되는지 알고 식어 한다. 현재 이러한 모니터링은 사람에 의한 수작업으로 이루어지고 있으며, 여러 채널의 방송에 광고를 내보냈을 때에는 이러한 모니터링은 더욱 어려워진다. 본 논문에서는 디지털 방송뿐만 아니라 아날로그 방송에 대해서까지도, 현재 방송의 비주얼 리듬을 실시간으로 추출하고 이를 이용하여 장면 전환을 수행하고 특징 벡터를 추출해서 얻어진 정보들을 이용한 실시간 광고 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다.

최근 많은 기업에서 e-mail을 기업의 홍보 및 마케팅 수단으로 활용하고 있다. 하지만 스팸메일로 인해 광고메일의 많은 장점들이 퇴색되고, 커다란 사회문제로까지 여겨지고 있다. 본 연구는 고객의 광고메일에 대한 반응율을 높이기 위해 고객이 선호하는 광고메일의 특성을 파악하고, 기업의 e-mail을 통한 마케팅 수행 시, 효과적인 광고메일의 구성 방안을 제시한다. 연구 결과, 광고메일 구성 시 고객의 반응율을 높이기 위해서는 메일의 제목, 보낸 사람, 컨텐츠, 발송 주기 등을 고려해야 하는 것으로 나타났으며, 선호하는 메일제목의 형태는 대체로 강의나 기사형태인 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 회사명이나 브랜드와 같은 공신력 있는 발신자명을 사용하는 것이 실명이나 e-mail주소를 사용하는 것보다 효과적이며, 컨텐츠의 형태는 비주얼한 형태로 구성하는 것이 일반 텍스트나 HTML형태 보다 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

Public service advertising is a form of communication activity performed to increase public interest. In order to improve the effectiveness of public service advertising, it is necessary to formulate advertising strategies that can actually induce positive action changes. China has various social problems because of dramatic social changes, which call for implementing public service advertising. This study aims to improve the persuasive effects of Chinese public service advertising by addressing effective communication strategies. In particular, we selected 33 works that use fear appeals from 2016 HuangHe Award-winning posters and analyzed their visual representation of fear appeals. The results suggest that fear appeals are frequently used in safe driving and anti-smoking campaigns. In addition, main colors of these posters were black and white. The main fearful images were often represented in a form of 'fact' and 'factual conception' and in the type of 'picture.' They also have features of implicit association' and 'exaggeration'. This study has a significance in terms of providing theoretical and empirical information to future research on improvement of public service advertising in China.

There were several methods of conception in seeking a visul idea of the advertising design. However, such conventional methods had a tendency that the degrees of utilization and satisfation are lacking. Also, in a thumbnail sketch phase, there was a great tendency to seek an idea based on pictorial elements only and thus depended chiefly on the existing references. Accordingly, originality was not high. Further, under the background which any common methods of a designer and a copywriter, if they have effective. I would like to propose a visul idea conception method, a condensing & amplification method for maintaining a logical system of advertising intelligence and for facilitating creative visualization through a language-oriented approach. The condensing & amplification method is the method of conception, in which after an appeal point as per advertising intelligence is passed through sentence and phrase and then condensed with word, various variation for the word develop, and by selecting the most creative word of the results, the thumbnail sketch commences based on the results amplified with the phrases and sentences.
