1. The Black Eyed Peas are a band that appeals the global fans base. Their wide variety fan makes them an ideal candidate to serve as a spokesperson for a product. The type of product they endorse would vary, but also be limited. For example their feel good pop music wouldn’t be used to represent a new drug to treat diabetes.

The concept of the television would be would a rave in which the Blacked Eyed Peas where rocking out behind a graffiti stage. The audience would be full of live and energy, jumping around while singing the lyrics. The purpose of this ad would be to show young adults that you can be sober and still have fun while listen to your favorite band live. 4. “Homecoming 2012 Rock the valley Blacked Eyed Peas edition” They message I would be sending to the students is that the Black Eyed Peas will be in Fort Valley live in concert for homecoming. A pop band will be coming to rock out with us, as well as shake things up from the normal R&B performances. 5. Brands and product that want to take a serious approach in there advertisement wouldn’t use a band such as the Blacked Eyed peas. For example
