Some
of the most successful advertising campaigns in history have tied a product or
service to a face or persona who represents the brand. For instance, Wendy’s
has had the red-haired daughter of the restaurant chain’s creator in its
commercials, while Colonel Sanders’ mustachioed face is at the center of all of
Kentucky Fried Chicken’s advertising. The fact is that we humans respond to
faces more than, perhaps, to any other visual stimuli. When confronted with a
face, it is nearly impossible for the onlooker not to be drawn to the eyes and
make some sort of connection.
Our
advertising strategy enables our clients to take advantage of this human
response by placing their photographs at the head of every one of the ads that
we provide for them to run in their newspapers. Each of these head shots is
followed by our client’s name and a bold-face headline that is designed to
catch reader interest. After viewing each new and different weekly column,
readers are likely to give at least one more glance back at the picture and
make the association between the copy and its author.
In
this way, we help our clients to establish their personal brand. In time, they
may come to be as recognizable as any local personality or celebrity.
