Introduction a.k.a. Blog Concept

I have never met a person who doesn’t like music. No matter what type of music we listen to, it can have an incredible effect on us, sometimes in ways we don’t even expect. It can instantly change our mood (or intensify it) and bring back memories that we have long forgotten. Music is so powerful it would be horrifying to think that people can use it to control others. Well, the truth is: that horrifying scenario is happening every day with advertisers being the villains and us the victims. Yes, I am talking about the commercials that we are watching before and after and in between the shows. Think about it. With the picture effect, we sometimes ignore the soundtrack of the commercials, but it is still there, familiarizing us with the brand, attaching a feel to the product, luring us into thinking “Ohhh this deodorant makes me feel so intellectual, I have to check it out!” Back to the villains – victims scenario, I was just being dramatic. Advertising to me is an art, and obviously, so is music. Therefore, I will dedicate this blog to analyze the impact of music in advertising with a focus on TV commercials.
