UNITED COLORS OF BENETTON
The United Colors of Benetton: a company of colors and controversies. Offering the world an insight to fashion, as well as, human equality and world issues, Benetton gives us stylish clothing and innovative promotion. While trying to capture an audience favoring Italian character in style and design, the company additionally desires to present the world with contentious campaigns to awaken thoughts and debates. These controversies are jeopardizing Benetton’s position in the industry, and its reputation of being trendily unique and committing to world harmony. The United Colors of Benetton (Benetton), an Italian based company, is primarily focusing its business on clothing and controversial advertising.
34
UCB- Advertising a) How it is perceived?
Benetton has earned worldwide recognition by creating advertisement themes that promote diversity and various other social causes. The company strives to promote itself as a socially responsible business, by supporting social organizations and discussing moral issues in its print campaigns throughout the world. Unlike most advertisements which are centered on a company’s product or image, Benetton’s advertising campaigns addressed social and political issues.
35
b) Appeal of the advertisement
Most of its advertisements were severely rebuked by governments, media and general public. But Benetton has been successful in delivering its socially responsible message amidst controversies.
36
c) Campaign and its importance
S.No. Campaign Importance 1. All the colors of the world altered as United Colors of Benetton The company adopted the slogan as its actual logo 2. Images showed youth of both sexes and every skin tone Suggested a somewhat abstract universe ruled by the easy straightforwardness of relationships and feelings 3. Religious and political conflict (the Palestinian and the Israeli) All of these conflicts were based on taboos, on the impossibility of co-existence, on a difference that separates rather than unites. By acknowledging these differences and prohibitions, the brand appeared more involved. Benetton had a plan: to integrate opposites, to unite differences under a single flag, the flag of its own logo 4. Religious and sexual conflict (a priest kissing a nun) 5. Moral conflict (the stereotypes of good and evil, symbolized by an angel and the devil)
37
6. A photo of a war cemetery This photo signaled a break with the previous campaigns. The style became “realistic,” introducing depth of field, and a bit of “real life” burst into the artificially sweetened universe of advertising 7. Image of a newborn baby still attached to the umbilical cord Intended as an anthem to life 8. A man dying of AIDS, Benetton’s use of it in its advertising that brought it to the attention of the world media and made people talk about dying of AIDS 9. A soldier gripping a human thigh bone Introduced a new and intriguing question about the fate of advertising: can marketing and the enormous power of advertising budgets be used to establish a dialogue with consumers that focuses on something other than a company’s products 10. A man assassinated by the Mafia, 11. A car on fire, 12. A ship being stormed by emigrants 13. Sixth World AIDS Day, on December 1st 1993, an enormous pink condom, 22 meters high and 3.5 meters wide, was placed on the obelisk in the Place de la Concorde in Paris A symbol of the fight against AIDS, Benetton proved that a “different” use of advertising was indeed possible
38
14. Dying AIDS patient The motif "Dying AIDS patient" addresses the serious problems of the AIDS disease and the pain as well as the grief this disease entails. It is legally important that Benetton had the consent of the dying AIDS patient . 16. Priest kissing nun The motifs "Priest kisses nun" and "Military cemetery with Star of David" use religious forms and affect religious feelings. 17. Military cemetery with Star of David 18. T-shirt of Bosnian soldier The motifs "Gunman with bone" and "T-shirt of Bosnian soldier" address the genocides, which took place in Africa and Bosnia. 19. Gunman with bone 20. Container with refugees The motifs "Container with refugees" and "Ship with refugees" address war and political upheavals taking place in developing and third world countries 21. H.I.V. positive The "H.I.V.-positive"-motif appeals to the prejudice of people against others that carry the burden of an abnormality - such persons become "branded" by society. 22. Oil-polluted duck The motif "Oil-polluted duck" concerns the problems of environment pollution and big environmental catastrophes. 23. Child labor The motif "Child labor" alludes to a social and economic problem of developing countries
39
d) Benetton’s communication philosophy
Benetton believes that it is important for companies to take a stance in the real world instead of using their advertising budget to perpetuate the myth that they can make consumers happy through the mere purchase of their product. The company opted for a communication strategy in which issues and not clothes play the lead part. The company has decided to devote some of its advertising budget to communicate on themes relevant to young and old people worldwide. Using these images in this unconventional way is an effort by Benetton to break through the complacency that exists in our society due to the constant flow of even the most horrendous realities communicated through conventional media such as the evening news or the morning paper. By removing these images from their familiar contexts and putting them in a new context they are more likely to be noticed and given the attention they deserve as the viewer becomes involved in the process of answering the questions.
40
e) The Changing Society – Values (COUNTRY SPECIFIC)
The Benetton’s strategy to handle the cross cultural issues is through popularizing the brand unlike most advertisements which centered around a company’s product or image, Benetton’s advertising campaigns addressed social and political issues like racial integration, AIDS awareness, war, poverty, child labor, death, pollution etc. The company tried more to “communicate” to the world about these issues rather than to “sell” apparel and accessories. In every country Benetton aimed at creating world peace and harmony. Benetton also aims at Reality advertising, by showing social issues (Two people in flood in Calcutta)

Challenges in Achieving Local Relevance: Coca cola
Keeping The Classic Look and Taste Worldwide When Coca-Cola was first introduced into the Chinese market, Chinese characters selected sounded like Coca-Cola but actually meant, “bite the wax tadpole.” In Russian, “enjoy” was changed to “drink,” because “enjoy” has a particular sensual connotation, in that language, that doesn’t apply to soft drinks.

Most controversial ads in the history of advertisement
51
1. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH - 774 COMPLAINTS
The controversial ad which could 'frighten and distress youngsters' As part of the NHS's anti-smoking drive, this television, press, internet and poster ad campaign showed smokers having a fish hook pulled through their cheek, representing their craving for cigarettes. Many of those who complained said the adverts were offensive, frightening and distressing. The largest group of complaints related to the poster ads and the effect they could have on children. The ASA found the adverts were unlikely to cause serious offence or distress to adult viewers. But despite an "ex-kids restriction" - which stops adverts being shown during or around programming aimed at children - two of the television adverts and the poster ads were found to have the potential to frighten and distress youngsters.
52
2. TRIDENT GUM - 519 COMPLAINTS
These adverts showed people speaking in Caribbean accents while extolling the virtues of the new gum from Cadbury's and drew complaints that they were offensive and racist. People argued the ads - shown on television and in cinemas - showed stereotypes that ridiculed black or Caribbean people and their culture. The ASA decided the adverts did not incite racial discrimination but acknowledged that a significant minority of viewers had been unintentionally offended.
53
3. RUSTLERS COMPLAINTS Television adverts for Rustlers drew ire from viewers who thought they were sexist and demeaning to women. The adverts for the microwaveable burgers showed a man and a woman arriving at the man's flat, with the woman agreeing to having a coffee while sitting on a sofa. The man then punches into a microwave style keypad which sets the sofa rotating, soon revealing the woman wearing just underwear. The humour in the ads would be unlikely to cause serious or widespread offence the ASA ruled. But it had an ex-kids restriction and was shown during Bugsy Malone, a film that would appeal to children, so complaints about scheduling were upheld.
