BA(Hons) Advertising and Media
Advertising affects us more and more it is a key part of the creative industries . How advertisers use the media to reach customers and what they say to them is fundamentally what this course explores. The increase in satellite and cable channels, mobile phones and the Internet means you are exposed to more advertising messages than ever. More companies want to reach you and each has something different to say about their product in ways that you will find interesting. But new media technologies mean that you also have more ways to avoid these messages and so the advertisers have to be more creative in both what they say and how they say it.
