Is there a catchy jingle on the radio that gets stuck in your head? Did a specific brand of coffee catch your eye at the grocery store? Note it down! Throughout the day, keep your eyes peeled for billboards, social media ads, packaging designs ? anything that seems designed to influence your purchase decisions or brand awareness.

Decoding the Messages:

Once your week is up, gather your notes and prepare to be amazed! You'll likely have a surprising number of marketing tactics documented. Now, let's dig deeper. What emotions did these tactics evoke?
