Research marketing Fair Trade




This is an advert for Ben and Jerry's ice cream. The image shows one of their popular ice cream tubs on the side, and a 'tropical forest' image pouring out. It is trying to show the product as fair trade as much as possible, because it has the image to show the ingredients are all freshly grown and the ice cream is produced fairly. It is particularly focused on the cocoa beans used in the ice cream, as they are the most common source through fair trade.







Here we see the co-op using a poster to show the benefits of fair trade from the different products. For example, they are advertising ''cleaner water in Africa'' for only £3.99, and saying that along with this you get a ''free bottle of wine'', whereas what is actually being purchased by you is the wine, and the money goes towards cleaner water. Each photo shows the products being sold to the buyer and the products going to Africa, like how the banana being sold is also a pencil used in ''better schools''.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   


This advertisement is from a company that is very common with fair trade products. Oxfam, as it states in the advert, send all their profits around the world to help over come poverty. Any time one of their fair trade products is purchased, the profit Oxfam makes is put towards ending poverty. Unlike the co-op advert, this poster gets straight to the point and tells us exactly what the money, and the company, are doing in their part for fair trade.

Video Analysis: Burn the Witch- Radiohead

T he British children’s TV series the 'Trumptonshire Trilogy’ inspired the Burn the Witch music video by Radiohead. The video shoes an inspector being given a tour around a small town by the mayor. The town itself seems pretty normal, neat and well under-control, however it soon becomes clear this isn't the case as we are introduced to the local residents. From trying to drown one neighbour, to tying someone else up to a tree, the inspector, and equally the audience, are quickly aware not everything is as perfect as it seems, and that the town's residents are actually violent and dangerous on a day to day basis. We see the end of the video showing the inspector being tricked into a large wooden cage-type figure, which has been similarly seen in the 1973 British horror film 'The Wicker Man'. Once locked inside its 'stomach', it is then set alight by the town's people, from which we assume the inspector is left to die, but are shown otherwise as he is see...
