They have used symbolical codes such as the eyes and the different eye colour. This shows how everyone is different.

They have used a child for the advert because they are young and innocent and you are automatically made to feel sorry for them.

The woman is helping the little girl which gives he idea that she's helping her through and that she's not alone in this.

They have added the glasses onto the shot to make sure everyone knows that they have the equipment that it requires to help people.

They have also used a different font for their logo which relates tot heir campaign. This advert mainly focuses on the symbolic codes instead of the written codes and technological codes.

They have used a close up of the woman helping the little girl and they have blurred everything else on the background, enough for you to know where they are. They have done that to get the reach's attention onto the main situation.

Their lifestyle might consist of a single mum getting benefits for their kids or they might have an average paying job.

Audience research

3 out of 5 people would like to buy the product.

4 out of 5 people liked the advert.

Target Audience

The target audience, judging the advert would be mothers and daughters as the colour pink is a big theme in this advert.

Although from my audience research, I used my mum as one of the audience and she said that she wouldn’t, whereas teenagers said that it is likely that they would go and buy the product.

The target audience is pretty large as most people like cakes, therefore the variety of people is pretty large.

Kids are also a main target as they love anything that’s sweet, and these cakes have a layer of icing which is pretty sweet.

Appeared on the newspaper, Daily mailTo advertise their product. Often found on trains, metro.

Impact on the audience.

There were a lot of people that walked past on that day where the cakes were being set up and they all seemed happy with the product. Some guy said that he felt hungry just by looking at the poster, meaning that the billboard has been a success.

Although they could have been some issues with the fact that they were getting offered some caked that have been touched by people, even though they were wearing gloves they have been put on the billboard.

Maybe people from up north wouldn't’t be too happy because of the fact that the advertising campaign was being done in London.

There’s a video on YouTube of people getting interviewed about the billboard and there was a guy that said he felt hungry which makes you think he’d start buying more.

This is a good way of advertising their product as people are getting something for free and its not just any brand of cakes, its Mr. Kipling. This would also increase awareness of the product as people will take pictures of this eye catching advertising technique and put it up on social media such as Facebook, twitter, Instagram and tumblr and so on.

'We were never going to go against the Mr. Kipling ethos that has been part of national culture since 1967.’ was one of the comment that appeared in the daily mail, so the impact on the audience has been good after the advertising campaign.

And because this is a stunt it attracts more people to it which they will then take photos and distribute them onto the social media, which can only keep expanding.

And there was a mum saying how her mother used to hide them when she was young but she would always find them, showing how long these cakes have been selling for and how it brings back memories to the audience which is definitely a good impact.

Legal And Ethical Issues.

This advert could be offensive in the sense that is being sexist 0 little girl wearing pink skirt.Or even racist by the fact that they are all white.‘’Life is better with cake’’ is saying that you’re not living as well as you could because you’re not having cake – this could get complaints because it encourages people to eat cake which leads to obesity.They haven’t tried to deny the fact that there’s a lot of sugar in the cakes, meaning they are ignoring that fact.

Production Process

The production process consist of not just the actual billboard but all the work that has been done before to plan it all out.

For example, the kept their brand slogan under their logo and also manage to come up with a new slogan for the new advert ‘’life is better with cake’’

They would have needed to come up with different ideas to get to the final one.

They would need to hire a photographer, make up artist, costume designer and maybe even build the billboard to see if the cakes fitted in the space that they needed to fit.

Also measure the size of the different cakes to know roughly how many they would be able to fit in one line.

Another thing they would have needed to do is draw the whole poster and design it in a way that looks appealing.

ASA- They look at this criteria.

Not encourage violence or anti-social behavior.

Must not encourage unsafe practice.

Must not portray children in a sexual way.

Adverts should comply with the law and should not incite anyone to break it.

Age restricted. Alcohol and gambling must not be targeted at or likely to appeal to children under 18 years old.

People shown drinking must neither be nor seen to be under the age of 25.

Contain nothing that can cause serious offense.

Also featuring sexual imagery. Particularly that children that are more likely to see must be carefully targeted and avoid causing harm or offense.

ASA- Mr. Kipling

“The debates about food advertising to children, or more specifically ads for less healthy products, are inextricably linked with wider societal concerns about childhood obesity. “

I have researched into the advert and I have not been able to find any complaints for this poster made out of cakes, however there have been some complaints about their older advert which shows a woman giving birth on a stage at a nativity play.

‘’ condone or encourage poor nutritional habits or an unhealthy lifestyle in children’’ and ‘’ give a misleading impression of the nutritional benefit of products’’

mr.kipling’s advert does not do that even though the slogan and the fact that they have made a huge billboard out of cake might give the wrong impression to kids, and making them think its okay eat all those cakes.
