This article, written by Waccara Yeomans from convinceandconvert.com reminds us of the “human factor” that is kept at the forefront of creative development to ensure successful reach of the message to the intended target audience. There are mere seconds to capture a viewer’s attention and pull them in to spending a bit more time scrutinizing and evaluating the message and determining it’s applicability to their own needs and wants. The messages employed in the product advertising focus on relaying the benefits of the product, ideally to a target who is already interested in the product, so the message does not offend and appear to “push” the target, but rather, the target makes the choice of pulling the information because it is applicable to their needs. The article demonstrates the necessity of applying creative communication to initially capture the viewer’s interest and relevant content that keeps the viewer engaged, regardless of the medium used.
