Next, answer the following five questions as part of your analysis:

  1. What is the overall theme of the advertisements based on your analysis?
  2. What are the manifest themes or patterns evident in the ads? [Remember these are items you can physically count to demonstrate a pattern, such as the number of terms, images, etc.]
  3. What are the latent themes or patterns evident in the ads? [Remember these are messages that are not outwardly stated but that you can interpret from reading the messages.]
  4. Based on TARGET’s plans for attracting new customers as presented in the Bloomberg article, do you think that the receivers were able to “get” the proper message from the sender in this communication? Why or why not?
  5. Based on your review, what “noise” might interfere with the receiver “getting the message” in this series of ads? Are the message patterns (manifest or latent) strong enough, in your opinion, to overcome that noise?
