  1. I’m With the Brand John Shepherd Kelsey Keegan Ryan Finnegan Josh Michalec

  2. Summary • Morgan Spurlock's documentary explores the ubiquity of branding messages in our daily lives and the relationship between content and advertising • We are exposed to constant advertising and branding to the point that: • “We are not being brainwashed, since the products are not being used in the right way" (Tetzeli and Karpel 92). • 95% is wasted effort • People should recognize this branding, question it, and wonder about the process • When is a brand a byproduct of a story/film/etc., and when does the brand drive the story/film/etc? • Is a story really this important, or important to a sponsor?

  3. Summary • It's up to the consumer to decide what is the truth and what is smoke and mirrors • We must determine credibility and which media and sources to trust •  Do you feel as if TV shows, films, newspapers, books, etc. that you consume are still credible and/or enjoyable if filled with exorbitant amounts of advertising? • Or does this, in a sense, devalue the show, film, etc. in your eyes?

  4. The Brand Called You • You are your own brand • Everything you do, say, wear, etc. says something about you specifically • The different aspects that make up your life are what make you unique • You have to think of yourself as a brand • Do I agree with what I am selling? • Do I realize that I am advertising a product? 

  5. Discussion Questions • Does this type of advertising image work? • Is it so disturbing that you're intrigued or so disturbing that you dismiss it all together? • To what extent do you associate advertisements and the the media you view them in? • Greatest Movie Ever Sold Trailer http://www.gotchamediablog.com/2011/03/trailer-morgan-spurlocks-greatest-movie.html • What are your thoughts on this?

  6. Discussion Questions (Continued) • Morgan Spurlock: The greatest TED Talk ever sold:http://bryanlong.com/2011/04/morgan-spurlocks-greatest-ted-talk-ever-sold/ • Talking about Transparency • What do you think about this? • The 3 Most Important Things in Advertising: • Reach • Frequency • Impact • We know advertisers reach innumerable amounts of people incessantly, but how has this guerilla advertising affected an ad's impact on the consumer? • Is it hard to find the truth amongst all the clutter?

  7. Discussion Questions (Continued) • The purpose of advertising is to: • Inform (Emphasize Features) • Persuade (Emphasize Benefits)  • Remind (Reinforce Prior Messages) • Which one of these purposes do you feel is the one that advertising companies push too much? • Are the informational, persuasion, or reminder ads the ones that you get the most annoyed with? • Essentially, what forms of advertising do you think are most effective? Least effective?
