Abstract
Аdvertising is a kind of communication which proceeds between two sides in unequal positions. One side (the sender of the message) is tangible and evident while the other (the recipient) is a mass of different minds which is usually named “target-audience” by the marketers. The successful transfer process is based on two factors – definition and differentiation. The brand as initiator of the communication-act faces the problem of constructing the most appropriate code by means of which to transfer its message in such a way that allows it to reach the customer`s mind in the way intended by the initiator. This code simultaneously combines three functions: it defines the brand as such (indicating its existence), differentiates it from the competition (from the noise of the environment) and proposes a concrete reason for purchase to be done (i.e. makes the Unique Selling Proposition). Implementing these three functions in this particular order is a necessary condition for advertising to trigger a change in the consumer’s behaviour. Without this implementation, advertising does not fulfill it’s main goal of triggering a change in the customer’s behaviour but becomes a piece of visual art and/or entertainment. In addition, by means of a detailed segmentation of the market, the brand predetermines to a maximum degree the chances for the audience to take up the message. In this way it lays the foundations of the decoding process (focusing attention on and understanding the information encoded) and defines the set of verbal and visual signs which a given segment is “open” for.
Key takeaways
- Promise/ Offer BRAND Product, Service
- To be able to differentiate a message as an advertisement, we should account for various issues.
- That style some professionals define like the main tool of the brand for intercourse (Сегела, 2004: 48) and as if "the intertextual knowledge" (Eco, 1994) which we discuss here is a "training" of the audience (especially those with less experience) regarding the codes of the brand and, in this way, the brand provides more opportunities for the messages to be to sifted out and to be comprehend (Fig.2).
- In other words, these consumers share an identical cognitive environment, in this case that sort of environment which is created and inhabited by the particular brand (Sperber, Wilson, 1995: 38 and next).
- Initially "the signal" would be received by a great number of consumers who have necessities emerged which the brand offers to satisfy, but to a decision for purchase would arrive only those of "the target" who would be convinced by the advertisement.

Cognitive Process in Advertising

Аdvertising is a kind of communication which proceeds between two sides in unequal positions.

Theoretical Framework of Advertising - Some Insights
STUDIES AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHES. ECONOMICS EDITION, 2014
Advertising as a tool of communication, but mostly as a marketing tool is subject to many theories and explanatory and normative models. Its contents and performed functions are not yet defined in general recognized theory. Present article focuses on the analysis of advertising in terms of its specific persuasive effort and communication process. Advertising seen as a process is based on the general scheme of the marketing communication process, with a number of specific features related to its content. The persuasive effort is related to creation of favorable attitudes or reinforcing existing attitudes. This process of persuasion is closely linked to the concept of attitude. Most theories of advertising have explored the connection between persuasion and attitude, identifying possible responses that the receiver can give to advertising information. Following lines develop these two important aspects associated with advertising theory, even if they are not the only issues that are d...
Substantive approach to the definition of "advertising": philosophical and communicative aspect.
Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University Journal. Philosophical Sciences., 2021
The article analyzes the current approaches to the definition of "advertising". A substantial approach is used to define it, which, continuing the classical tradition of scientific thinking, proclaims the fundamental principle of understanding the object of scientific knowledge as a stable entity, reducing the diversity and variability of properties to a constant, relatively stable and permanent definition. It is emphasized that in the subject field of philosophical sciences, taking into account current research in communication and economics, we can determine its essence and attributes. The etymology of the concept in different languages allows us to determine the following characteristics: call, repeated aloud several times; drawing attention; return (of information). It has been found that most definitions focus on certain commercial, communicative or substrate features and do not emphasize the essence of this social phenomenon. It is found that in the definition given by J. Richards and C. Curran, proposed on the basis of analysis of this concept in American textbooks (relevant to the end of the twentieth century), and which best reflects the essence of this phenomenon, a number of characteristics are accidental. This is, firstly, payment, and secondly - impersonality. These characteristics do not cover all forms and types of advertising. It also does not take into account the activity aspect of the functioning of advertising in society. It is proposed to interpret advertising on the basis of a substantial approach as a communicative activity of a motivating nature, which aims to draw attention to the object of advertising for mutual exchange. The attributes of advertising are advertising message and drawing attention. The first is understood as the main element of communication, which involves the translation of the idea, that the advertiser tries to convey to a specific target audience, in order to encourage a certain action, to provoke a reaction. The second emphasizes that exactly advertising, unlike other informational messages, aims to attract attention. At the present stage, this feature allows to detect the advertising message in the information noise.

Acitya: Journal of Teaching and Education
An advertisement is media that is used by a producer or company to reach their goal of selling the product as much as possible. Through language used in an advertisement, the advertiser tries to manipulate the audience’s minds to buy a particular product or service. One of the strategies to reach their goal is by employing presupposition in the advertisement. The presupposition is claimed to be able to give persuade potential consumers as well as to make the advertisement economic, as the information is concisely presented.

Advertising Strategy
Dictionary of Marketing Communications
Advertising Strategy | 1 At the end of the course, Individuals will examine the principles of Advertising apply them within the companies need critically reflect Advertising Strategy behavior within companies and their impact on the development of this course. 7.1 Integrated Marketing 7.2 Executional Framework 7.3 Sources & Spokespersons 7.4 Creating an Advertisement The essence of an integrated marketing communications program is designing a message that effectively reaches the target audience. Many of these messages are, in a very real sense, quite personal. They are designed to change or shape attitudes. They must be remembered. They should lead to some kind of short-or long term action. Marketing messages travel in two ways. First, a personal message can be delivered through a personal medium. A sales rep closing the deal, shaking the hand of the buyer, giving a reassuring tap on the shoulder, and smiling while talking is delivering a message in an intimate, warm, human fashion. Clearly, personal media (sales reps, repair department personnel, customer services representatives, etc.) must be included in the overall IMC program and approach. The second way marketing messages travel is through the various forms of advertising media. Many of these media are completely impersonal. Television sets are indifferent as to what appears on the screen. Radios deliver any sound that can be transmitted. Computer screens are nothing more than special-purpose television screens. The challenge to the marketing account executive, the company, and especially the creative is to design a personal message, even while it is being delivered through an impersonal medium. Account executives are acutely aware of the importance of effectively reaching a target Audience. It is not simply a matter of reach, frequency, and continuity. The message must engage the targeted buyer and influence the individual to the point that he or she will recall and purchase the product. Beyond the goal of making a message personal, many marketers are interested in tangible, measurable results that can be reported to clients and to prospective new customers. Therefore, the relationship between Advertising Strategy | 2 the executive and the creative reaches a critical point at the stage in which an advertisement is developed. This lesson focuses on several major topics. First, three types of message strategies are described. Each may be used to help convince the consumer to make a purchase, either through reason, emotion, or an action-inducing advertisement. Second, the major types of executional frameworks are noted. These forms of advertising presentations help the creative prepare original, convincing, and memorable ads. Third, the four types of sources or spokespersons that appear in various advertisements are described, and the criteria used to select them are reviewed. Fourth and finally, the principles of effective advertising campaigns are presented. When advertisements are combined with other elements of the promotions mix in an integrated fashion, the net result is a stronger company image and a clear IMC theme. The message theme, or the outline of the key ideas in the ad, is a central part of the creative brief. The message theme can be created using a number of message strategies. A message strategy is the primary tactic or approach used to deliver the message theme. There are three broad categories of message strategies:
Advertising Theories and Models – how well can these be transferred from text into reality
The interviewee says that for the organisation's communication to work, the whole process has to work together. According to him, the organisation must have done an analysis of the market to find the relevant message. This message then has to be transformed into the kind of communication that will make the customers listen to what they have to say. To find the right channel to put the message through is essential according to the interviewee, and he also says that is equally important that the message is right, or the customers will read it wrong and the whole campaign will be of no use. The process that the interviewee is talking about is similar to the one created by Shannon and Weaver in 1949 (See ). The interviewee mentions all the different elements that are to be found in this model and it is clear that this is a model that is well used on today's market.

Persuasion Strategies of Modes of Signification: A Case of Television Advertisement of Royco Mchuzi Mix
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INNOVATIVE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT, 2024
The choice of a language for communication influences people's behavior by convincing them to believe in the idea represented. Zhiganova (2016) posits that a code choice in an advertisement must be emotive and use persuasive techniques. This persuasive technique in television advertisements influences viewers through an appeal to their emotions in order to manipulate their views on the products being advertised. Advertisement is a form of communication that persuades and encourages people to take a particular action. Dyer (1982) describes advertisement as a type of communication because it can merge itself in the field of communication to influence people's decisions, thoughts and feelings. Basically, communication in advertisement is an activity that expresses ideas and feelings by giving some information about the advertised product through interaction with language (Leiss et al., 2013). Language, therefore, as examined in Sapir (2006), plays a vital role in any form of communication. For this reason, language communicates ideas, emotions, and desires through a system of voluntarily produced symbols. This is supported by Diyer (1982), who claims that people communicate by conveying information to influence others through various modes. This paper explores how visual, linguistic, and auditory elements are orchestrated to influence consumer behavior and attitudes towards Royco mchuzi mix product. Notably, advertisers communicate to consumers with the intention of persuading them to like their products using modes of signification. Hence, there is a relationship between advertisement and communication. Firms producing goods cannot advertise without communicating. This fact is supported by Kokemuller (2014), who argues that the relationships between advertisement and communication are in the consumers, message development, method of communication and the service offered. Communication in television advertisements shows that meaning is realized not only through language

Giving Meanings to the Advertising Message – Heterogeneity of Interpretation and Homogeneity of the Interpretive Matrix of Interpreters
2015
The subjects of this research project are the interpretations of selected advertising messages. The main aim of this work is to discover ways of reading the advertising messages in the context of the common semantic field of their receivers. It is worth noting that despite the fact that such messages are always accompanied by certain intentions and motives of their creators (broadcasters) – they are not the object of authors’ interests in this particular text. The object of interest is the key role played by the interpretations of the advertising text made by its receivers. They are viewed from the perspective of common cultural ground of members of community the interpreters come from. In the opinion of the authors, cultural community significantly determines the approach of interpreters towards the advertising text, and also determines its final interpretation. This means that the interpreters of advertising messages are seen here as a specific interpretive society, actively parti...
