Have you ever thought about cereal marketing?
First, let’s watch two (delightfully vintage) ads for cereal. View the Rice Krispies ad above.
Now watch this 1950s Heart of Oats ad:
1. Who is the target audience? Why?
2. How do we know these commercials are not from 2020? Why do they feel “old?”
Let’s move on to contemporary cereal advertising.
Look at the Rice Krispies on the left.
1. What does this box say about who Kellogg’s wants to attract?
2. How about the purple Cheerios box? What is the main draw here?
3. Why are kids’ cereals placed on the lower shelves at grocery stores?

We had a long conversation about commercials and plan to watch your pandemic tv show recommendations later. Also here is a commercial of my favorite cereal. I like the jingle not necessarily the commercial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4y2J6LIq0w

Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind me asking what theme
you’re using? (and don’t mind if I steal it?
:P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme slows
(!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for
“royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback) – it’s still
in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself during the coronavirus scare!

Thanks, Alex! It’s the Big Brother theme in WordPress. You could even use the template and change the color scheme.
You also take care!
