Campaign Ad Analysis

1. I saw repetition of the candidates name.

I thought this was a very fun ad to watch and listen too. I think it was some what effective.

2. There is complimenting terms for the candidate and showing off his accomplishments.

I thought this was informative but boring. Not really effective.

3. On some of the campaign ads the candidates would talk about the lows of the other candidate.

I thought this was kind of mean and did not give much information about the other candidate. Not very effective.

4. There was also humor in ads.

I thought this was amusing and let me know more about the competing candidate. I think it was pretty effective.

5. Some ads used children to make them look good.

I thought this was pretty effective. It let me know the values of the candidates.

6. Candidates would ask questions then answer them and tell them what they would do in some ads.

I thought this was effective and informative.

Conclusion Assertions:
1. Ads do very little to inform people.
2. Ads are very persuasive.
3. Advertising alone will not create a better result for the candidate.
