The whole point of building and running a campaign is to instigate a specific change in your target audience's behavior. Whether it's introducing the pain points your solution solves, helping them decide to investigate your product specifically, or driving them to reach out to a reseller, you want your target audience thinking like you do.

Slice-of-Life - Depicts people in normal settings, such as at the dinner table or in their car. McDonald's often uses slice-of-life styles showing youngsters munching french fries and Happy Meals on family outings.

Lifestyle - Shows how well the product will fit in with the consumer's lifestyle. As their Volkswagen Jetta moves through the streets of the French Quarter, the Gen X drivers plug in a techno music CD and marvel at how the rhythms of the world mimic the ambient vibe inside their vehicle.

Spokesperson/ Personality Symbol - Can feature a celebrity, company official, or typical consumer making a

Testimonial Evidence - testimonial or endorsing a product. Sarah Michelle Gellar, star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, endorses Maybelline cosmetics while country singer Shania Twain introduced Revlon's ColorStay Liquid Lip. Dell Computers founder Michael Dell touts his vision of the customer experience via Dell in television ads.

FANTASY - Creates a fantasy for the viewer built around use of the product. Carmakers often use this style to let viewers fantasize about how they would feel to be speeding around tight corners or down long country roads in their cars.

Real or animated - Creates a character that represents the product in advertisements, such as the

Product Symbols - Energizer bunny, Starkist's Charlie the Tuna, or General Mills' longtime icon, Betty Crocker, redesigned for the new millennium.

MUSICAL - Conveys the message of the advertisement through song. For example, Nike's recent ads depicting a marathoner's tortured feet, skier Pikabo Street's surgery scarred knee, and a surfer's thigh scarred by a shark attack while strains of Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful" are heard in the background.

SCIENTIFIC - Uses research or scientific evidence to give a brand superiority over competitors. Pain relievers like Advil, Bayer, and Excedrin use scientific evidence in their ads.

Technical Expertise – This style shows the company’s expertise in making the product. Like Lexus RX advertisement showing the company’s expertise in car manufacturing.
