Hi,



Can anybody help me? I am researching into branding in teenagers for my dissertation. I have read No Logo and Branded, and have been checking out the library/ internet for research but I am finding it difficult to focus what it is I want to ask as my question.



Basically I want to look at how branding has evolved (looking at one area - advertising whether it be, magazines, tv, etc) and how they "buy" teenagers with thier ads.



Has anybody got any tips for me? Any useful books/ sites, even opinions to get me thinking in different ways as Im stuck in a rut at the moment!!



Thanks confused

Heya



Do they have the book "The branded ape" at your library? I think that one can be useful for the overall branding picture (also kinda from a psycological point of view). It*s interesting enough to maybe get you thinking in other patterns and out of that rut. Unfortunatly I cant find it at amazon now... (and I forget the authors name)



On a related title, there*s also "branded - the buying and selling of teenagers" you can find that at amazon



branded the buying and selling...



hope that helps some!

Couple sites you should check out if you haven*t

Ad Flip and ad access and even maybe Emergence of Advertising in America for some older ads.



Good for looking at old ads and seeing the difference visually. smile

hehe, bad linking. wink



all the below mentioned links are in the adland adlink database together with 440 odd other ad related sites, divided into categories and rated by adgrunts here (well, the adgrunts who bother). I*m sure that will help along the research road.

Pffft! "Branding" is a rather big word, you could spend half the essay trying to explain what it is. "Branding" is a metaphor that stops agencies And Naomi Klein*s "no Logo" is more about big coprorations and exploitation than advertising itself. Instead read



Welcome to the Creative Age Bananas, Business and the Death of Marketing

Mark Earls

ISBN 0-470-84499-X



He was one of the founders of St Lukes and explains marketing and "branding" (he suggest using the word "b*nard" istead, just to remind yourself that "brand" is also a nonsense word)



Or check out http//www.brandchannel.com/papers.asp for LOTS of stuff on branding



Have you read any books on actual advertising it might help. Honest. "Ogilvy on advertising" or "hey whipple squeeze this"



Or you can allways ask us, if you have any specific questions.

An interesting thing to check out is a market research firm; I believe it*s called Look Look... they have (or had) people out in "the field," armed with cameras, taking notes and constantly searching for the Next Big Thing... budding trends in fashion, music and culture.



They were featured in a documentary a few years back, with an emphasis on marketing to teens. My partner had taped it for me but it*s been sooo long... I*ll have to ask him when and where it aired. You*d probably find it useful.
