This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Brown chapter.
Year: 2013 
Concentration: American Studies 

Why did you decide to take “American Advertising” class?

I really like studying how desire and appeal change over time.  I’m also interested in the ways advertisers appeal to certain social groups.

What is your favourite advert, commercial or campaign? 
Tom Ford Eyewear. Nicholas Hoult is beyond gorgeous. Also the “5” gum ads.

What/Who is your favourite character in an advert or commercial? 

The Kool-Aid man because he’s an obese character selling a high fructose corn syrup beverage to kids.

Haruka Aoki and Luisa Robledo instantly bonded over the love for witty writing and haute couture. Haruka, a self-professed fashionista, has interned at Oak Magazine and various public relations companies where she has reached leadership positions. Luisa, a passionate journalist and editor of the Arts and Culture section of Brown University's newspaper, has interned and Vogue and has co-designed a shoe collection for the Colombian brand Kuyban. Together, they aim to create a website that deals with the real issues that college women face, a space that can serve as a forum of communication. With the help of an internationally-minded team section editors and writers who have different backgrounds, experiences, and mentalities, these two Brown girls will establish a solid presence on-campus.
