Back to truth…are all advertisements honest? IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO LIE IN AN ADVERTISEMENT. A government agency called the Federal Trade Commission tries to protect consumers. Outright lies are rare, but stretching the truth and “telling stories” is what good advertisers do. So, the FTC has THREE QUESTIONS FOR CONSUMERS to consider when analyzing advertisements.

Ask Yourself… Who created the ad? What does the ad want you to buy, do, and/or think? What is the story they want you to believe? What is true?

Who created this? What do they want you to buy? What’s the story?

Advertisers use three categories of persuasion: PATHOS, ETHOS, LOGOS. PATHOS appeals to the consumer’s emotions: sadness, anger, fear, affection, humor
