Elizabeth Arden campaign strives for the unconventional
Article Abstract:
Elizabeth Arden Co. will launch an advertising campaign through which the cosmetics concern hopes to re-invent its image by promoting the idea of beauty from within while shedding its erstwhile emphasis on glamour. Created by the advertising agency J. Walter Thompson and set to begin in August 1999, the campaign arose in response to research that revealed that most women felt distanced from the idealized and unreachable images of beauty prevalent within the industry. As part of its effort to reach out to real women, Elizabeth Arden will present print ads featuring models of different ages and ethnic backgrounds in photographs that have not been enhanced or re-touched.

Visa's Latin-tinged mainstream spot may anticipate a trend
Article Abstract:
Visa USA is launching a new mainstream commercial with a Latin theme, aimed at 18-to-34-year-olds. The spot, produced by BBDO New York, is the result of research in trends. Researchers at BBDO found that Latin music and dance had crossover appeal. Latinos welcome the dawning of recognition in mainstream advertising. Latinos represent 13 percent of the U.S. population and they have roughly $400 billion in spending power, but up until now, these facts have not been reflected in mainstream media. In contrast, Spanish-language advertising is burgeoning, particularly in New York. Visa says that consumer reaction confirms that the TV spot is a success.
