(Marjan Stuckart)
the use of a photograph of a marketing manager makes this advertisement extremely personal. this is an effective strategy because it makes the target audience more likely to trust the Citro-tech Division of Miles. additionally, the slanted colorful font of the title adds to the advertisement’s youthful, energetic, and pure feel.
