Casting a critical 'I' over Caffrey's Irish Ale: soft words, strongly spoken

Article Abstract:

Four researchers wrote subjective introspective essays on their response to a television and cinema advertisement for Caffrey's Irish Ale. They then compared and contrasted their essays in an attempt to demonstrate that advertisements do not illicit a fixed response, and that the subjective personal introspective research approach has value as a research method due to the unique insights it offers. The writers responded according to factors including their gender, their personal interpretation of the imagery in the advertisement, and their appreciation of the advertisement's aesthetic qualities.
