Advertising and Advocacy

          Advertising is to call the public's attention to your business, usually for the purpose of selling products or services, through the use of various forms of media, such as print or broadcast notices. Advertising provides a direct line of communication to your existing and prospective customers about your product or service. The purpose of advertising is to Enhance the image of your company, Convince customers that your company's product or service is right for their needs or Make customers aware of your product or service.

            From my point of view “advertising” and “advocacy” is the same purpose in term of public relationship but  advocacy try to use media as a tools to change something such as policy, human right or health care instead of promoting their product or service as same as advertising but advocate people to create social impact. Nowadays, both of advertising and advocacy is open for everyone to get all information in everywhere which are when you take the BTS, road, Department store, television or your smart phone. So, it very easy to access all information in daily life but another point that I want to reflect about why  I still remember the content of some advertising and advocacy campaign even it has a long time to see via show example in each case.

1. Key message should be clear and short 




          This video published in 5 years ago, but I still remember what content that they want to promote people to stop drinking in The Buddhist Lent Day. The video driven by the man just said only “poor - strain – drinking” in 33 minutes, then I think it very popular sentence to make me remember and easy to understand what they want to communicate people because they used only one sentence which very clear message to the audience.

      2. To be continued



          This video continued to show the result after stop drinking you will get more income, have a lovely family, can collect more money and have a great life. So, I think it motivates people by show the positive image after their stop drinking to create believe and I will be a part of people who believe in this video.

     3. Comedy



          These videos have been supporting my thinking about one band name “Halls” still make their advertise look funny because it can motivate people to interest in their product even it will over act, but it still makes me laugh when I saw this advertising and try to imitate actor’s feeling after they ate candy with friends because it’s very funny and easy to remember.

     4. Depressing story (Drama)



          To be honest, I cry after see both advertising. These video are very popular, according to 20,000,000 up views. So, isn’t just only advertising but still motivate people to change their behavior in the positive way.

            So, these reasons come from my personal perspective to think about what kinds of advertising or advocacy campaign which be able to change my mind and love to follow in the next version.


            An important point is that advocacy and advertising can adapt to create the efficiently campaign, but cutting something and add on. For example; I would like to create media to advocate people to improve something by applying some guidelines about the way to create advertising to make it interesting and easy to remember and try to change from convince customers that your company's product or service is right for their needs, to convince people that your campaign is right for their needs. So, I believe that if we try to adapt something in each side it be able to make it efficiently and easy to gain people who are interested in to join in our campaign.
