Audience theory – Two step flow of communication
This theory was followed up by Paul Lazarfeld in 1948 who recognised that this simple, linear model does not sufficiently represent the relationship between the message sent and the message received. As such, he developed the Two Step Flow Model of Communication which highlighted the idea that media messages are not always just directly ‘injected’ into an audience but also filtered through influential opinion leaders who interpret a message and first and then relay them back to the mass audiences.

Research Products
Research product 1 (Coco Pops Cereal box) | Research product 2 (Starbucks) | My product (Shampoo) | |
Understanding self | It briefly explains the idea of the product and who it targets. | It gives a clear gesture on what it is trying to imply as it shows an image of the product that they are trying to advertise. | It gives a clear information about the product and how good of a product it can be. |
Enjoyment | It is mainly enjoyed by young kids as it has many cartoon characters. | It gives a positive note on the enjoyment that it can give you. | There will be enjoyment as there will be a catchphrase that will be intriguing for the people. |
Escapism | It definitely uses escapism as it doesn’t involve anything natural and its more creative and colourful and very playful. | It definitely does not note on escapism as it is more direct to the natural world. | It won’t be to much of an escapism advertisement as I don’t want the reality of the product to fade away as Being more realistic could potentially sell more. |
Knowledge about the world | This doesn’t give to much information about the knowledge about the world as it is very much cartoon like. | The Starbucks ad suggests how you could enjoy your life with a little bit of Starbucks to help others to also enjoy the taste of Starbucks. | This relates to the knoweldge of the world as people could be depending on which products are best to use so therefore people could get acknowledge about these products. |
Self confidence, Self esteem | This doesn’t really show to much about self confidence however, it could possibly suggest that kids will gain an impact with the product. | Starbucks gives a positive energy so I believe that it could powerup peoples self esteem for the day. | This will give a self confidence to people in daily life as shampoo is used on a daily. |
Strengthen connections with family and/or friends | This doesn’t strengthen the connection between family or friends as the advertisement only reaches out to children. | This also could be in between as the product shows gaining connections but it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will happen. | This doesn’t strength any connection apart from using it in on a daily. |
Any other category or theme | As it targets kids, parents could possibly enjoy eating cereal for breakfast. | Starbucks influences everyone, so therefore it would be ideal for a product to be made. | It will smell really nice and everyone loves strong scents. |

QUANTATIVE DATA
research product 1- Dior mascara
Targeted to people in the higher class who have money and are willing to spend a lot of money on a product that will be used frequently and often and so therefore will run out quicker.
The people in the higher class would usually be people ages 25 plus, but can also be 16 plus due to things such has having a wealthy family or having a job and saving up enough for such product.
research product 2- LIVE hair dye
Targeted to those in the middle class. As they will have gained enough disposable income to be able to spend extra money on hair dye which they don’t necessarily need.
The middle classed people could be anyone from 12 plus. The preteens would have to have parental consent to buy due to the fact that it may not be appropriate for school of not worth damaging hair for. Anyone can dye their hair as it’s their hair and they’re choice. this product is relatively cheap, five pounds per box, therefore its easier to be brought than other types of hair dye.
my product- monster energy
The target audience for my product would be ages 16-25 ish due to the fact that in the uk it is illegal to sell any energy drinks to people under the age of 16. The age 25 is the best cut off age ideally because not many adults would like something sweet or energising as majority of adults by then would turn to coffee as a energy source.
People from the middle class are more likely to buy this product as like the hair dye it is cheap and easy to find in any shop meaning its easy to grab and buy.
