and guide social change. They can uplift the tone or tenor of the

Social Advertising represents ad formats that engage the social context
of the user viewing the ad. Whereas in traditional, non-social,
advertising the ad is targeted based on what it knows about the
individual person or the individual page, in social advertising the ad is
targeted based on what it knows about the individual user's social
network.
Social Advertising is the first form of advertising that systematically
leverages historically "offline" dynamics, such as peer-pressure, friend
recommendations, and other forms of social influence.
Social Marketing Sells a Behavior Change to a targeted Group of
Individuals.

HIV/AIDS prevention In South Africa : Nancy Coulson
While analyzing The effective use of the mass media is a critical
component of HIV/AIDS prevention In South Africa by Nancy Coulson
analyzed that how to utilize the mass media to directly impact on
community action. The reach of mass media to South Africans was
widely acknowledged. In South Africa there was:

69% of young people watch TV five or more days a week.
Author analyze The South African government and the donor
community was invested extra money than ever before in mass media
campaigns for HIV/AIDS prevention. At the year 2001 the Department
of Health HIV/AIDS prevention and care and support department
investing amount to almost R100 millions. At that time and the
evaluation, impact and cost effectiveness of mass media work for
HIV/AIDS prevention. Beyond Awareness II campaign, Soul City and
loveLife, some limited situation was formed to the prevention
campaigns organized through the Government Communication and
Information Service (GCIS) in collaboration with the Department of
Health that specifically promotes their brand of condoms
In South Africa there were three major programmes that developed by
the national mass media platform for HIV/AIDS prevention.
There were two awareness campaigns
1. The Multimedia Edutainment Programme SOUL CITY.
2. The Youth Programme LOVELIFE.

action, the needs of rural communities and the role of health workers.
Before to the development of Soul City, the Beyond Awareness
campaigns and loveLife, the use of the national mass media for
HIV/AIDS prevention was in poor condition.
Soul City was the longest running and most experienced project. That
multi-media edutainment project and estimates to have spent up to
70% of their total budget on HIV/AIDS work. (Soul City had also covered
a wide range of other health promotion topics in addition to HIV/AIDS.)
Their target audience was both black and coloured South Africans
between the ages of 16-65. Print media and an adult education
complement the television and radio series and lifeskills programme.
Soul City had educated in several other African countries. In 2000 Soul
City launched a children’s series called “Soul Buddyz” targeting children
aged between 8-12 years old. Soul City estimatesthat each series costs
in the region of R30 million spent over two and a half years including all
development, production and evaluation costs. Soul City is mostly
donor funded and has received in total approximately R8 million from
the Department of Health. In the last year they received R1 million and
from 2002 this figure will be doubled.

modeling found in their edutainment format is a powerful mechanism

community factors that appear to be impacted on by this approach
include more caring service delivery, better understanding of issues and
a change in attitudes and awareness by community leadership and an
impact on community action and events

reduce the rate of HIV infection among 15-20 years old by 50% in five
years. loveLife combines high-powered media awareness and education
with development of adolescent-friendly reproductive health services
and other outreach and support programmes for hard to reach youth in
poor communities. The annual budget for loveLife was R150 million;
R60 million is spent on their media component including television,
radio, advertising and print media.
One the other hand statistic used by loveLife as a measure of their
impact are the 60 000 calls made per month to the loveLife sexual

Review 2:
While examine the MAKE THE NEXT GENERATION TOBACCO-FREE:
Regina M. Benjamin
While examine the MAKE THE NEXT GENERATION TOBACCO-FREE
Regina M. Benjamin, Most young people don’t consider the long-term
health consequences associated with tobacco use when they start
smoking. Because most high school smokers are not able to break free
from the powerful, addicting effects of nicotine, about three out of four
will smoke in adulthood. Among those who persist in smoking, one
third will die about 13 years earlier than their nonsmoking peers.
This Surgeon General’s report details the causes and the consequences
of tobacco use among youth and young adults by focusing on the social,
environmental, advertising, and marketing influences that encourage
youth and young adults to initiate and sustain tobacco use. This is the
first time tobacco data on young adults as a discrete population has
been explored in detail. The research also highlights successful
strategies to prevent young people from using tobacco.
1. Impact of Social Advertisement on Indian Society
We need your help on this public health issue. Everything from making
your home and car tobacco-free zones to demanding smoke-free
policies in your community can make a difference. Mass media
campaigns against tobacco use—most often TV ads—have proven very
effective at helping prevent tobacco use by young people. Studies show
that teens respond most to ads that trigger strong negative feelings,
such as ads about how smoking and secondhand smoke harm health
and ads that expose the tobacco industry’s marketing strategies that
target young people. Even ads that are designed for adult audiences
help reduce tobacco use among young people.
Every 3 or 4 years, new groups of children and teens reach the age
where they are vulnerable to influences encouraging them to smoke.
To be effective, mass media campaigns must be repeated so they will
reach new vulnerable populations. If the young people don’t start using
tobacco by age 26, they almost certainly will never start. The good
news is that there are many things we can do to help keep teens and
young adults tobacco-free.

The MULTICULTURALISM FOR THE MASSES: SOCIAL ADVERTISING
AND PUBLIC DIPLOMACY POST-9/11: Biljana Scott
While analyzing The MULTICULTURALISM FOR THE MASSES: SOCIAL
ADVERTISING AND PUBLIC DIPLOMACY POST-9/11, Biljana Scott
observed that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 have brought an old problem
into new focus: how to unite a population potentially divided along
racial, ethnic and denominational fault lines. In the light of unprovoked
and indiscriminate racist attacks on Muslim-looking minorities, multi-
media advertising campaigns were mounted in several countries in
order to control racism and sell multiculturalism. Author selected Three
recent ad campaigns: the US Ad Council’s “I am an American,” the UK
Commission for Racial Equality’s “The Unique Faces of Britain,” and the
equivalent Scottish campaign “One Scotland Many Cultures.” These
campaigns are compared to “The Family of Man” exhibition of 1955
and to the groundbreaking “United Colors of Benetton” campaign of
the last two decades. Advertising is the obvious medium for
governments that opt for persuasion. Social advertising, known as
Public Service Advertising (PSA) in America, aims to sell concepts rather
than commodities and addresses issues in the public interest, such as
health, safety and racial equality.
Author analyzed the impact of all the three advertising campaigns,
which promote the multicultural national identity.
1. Impact of Social Advertisement on Indian Society
I am an American:
This television ad shows individuals of different ages, races, religions
and occupations looking at the camera and saying, each in their own
distinct accent and intonation, the single sentence: “I am an American.”
“I am an American” proved to be hugely popular, as witnessed by the
many congratulatory responses sent to the Ad Council’s.
The Unique Faces of Britain:
According to the author this campaign, produced by the Commission
for Racial Equality (CRE), consists of a poster featuring numerous head
and shoulder shots of ordinary people on the street. As with the “I am
an American” campaign, the individual pictures represent different
ages, ethnic groups and in this case, towns of origin. The heading reads:
“Britain. We all make it unique.” The message adds: “56 million people,
over 300 languages and at least 14 faiths make us what we are today.”
Regional variants of this poster were produced in some cities. The
Unique Faces of London poster, for instance, produced in conjunction
with the Greater London Authority, “features photographs of men,
women and children of different ethnic backgrounds, creating a snap-
shot of the many faces of London in 2001.” It was produced, says the
CRE “in response to fears of a racist backlash against London’s Asian
communities due to the current international situation,”
1. Impact of Social Advertisement on Indian Society
Author analyzes the impact of the message might seem to be in inverse
proportion to its wordiness, the reaction to this campaign was
nevertheless very positive: “The response has been great. We’ve had
calls from local people saying it’s really made them feel at one with
their neighbours — and interestingly those calls haven’t just been from
minority groups.”
One Scotland Many Cultures:
The Scottish anti-racist campaign, which was not conceived solely as a
reaction to the racist fallout of the 9/11 attacks, is a more sustained
multi-media venture than its English or American equivalents. It
consists of an extensive Multiculturalism for the Masses Biljana Scott
Intercultural Communication and Diplomacy 161 website which
provides information on diverse topics related to the integration of
ethnic minorities in Scotland. These include a history of migration,
comprehensive statistics on demographic trends, as well as notification
of nationwide activities and events related to the campaign, chatlines,
teaching resources, useful links and much more besides. The aim of the
“One Scotland.”
Author analyzed all three campaigns proved to be genuinely moving
and persuasive, affirming a sense of identity and of belonging which the
1. Impact of Social Advertisement on Indian Society
majority of people, judging from their feedback, were grateful to be
reminded of and proud to be a part of. While it is admittedly difficult to
measure the influence of such advertising, these three campaigns
nevertheless epitomise the attempt to create “communication
programs which make a measurable difference in society.”
Methodology
In this research data would be collect from both primary and secondary resources. Primary data would collect self administered questionnaire, where secondary data would collect from various central & state government, magazine, articles, newspaper and journals, etc.
Research approach
This research employs the method of Qualitative research through quantitative analysis to gather an in-depth understanding of the behavioral changes caused by the social advertising on society and the reasons that govern such behavior.
