1. Task Description And Introduction
Advertising is the connecting factor of a company to its costumer. It is also the communication between those two sectors. In 2011 almost 30 billion Euros were spend on advertisement in Germany. Compared to the year before this is an increase of 1.3 percent. The net earnings also increased by 1.0 percent to almost 19 billion Euros in 2011. TV operators gained 3981 million Euros and are the top sector (ZAW 2012). This shows that advertisement is still increasing in importance in our daily life. We face advertisement every day. Watching TV comes along with watching advertisement. Approximately 15 minutes per hour are filled with commercials about cars, beauty products, toys, groceries and many more. Furthermore TV commercials featuring phone companies are also very usual. Vodafone is one of these phone companies.
