Abstract

This research analyzes the transformation of the communication of the advertising message aimed at young people. A qualitative methodology based on the observation of the advertising phenomenon is established, which has been used as an examination tool, a content analysis model that has allowed the evaluation of the use of codes, the treatment of the strategy, and the compositional proposal of the messages in the media. The objects of study have been the brands Colacao and Nesquik. In the analysis, creative pieces were selected for pre-adolescents, aged between seven and twelve years, inclusive. It is a target of digital natives with valid skills to discriminate the message of the advertising content. The results show how brands make significant changes mainly related to content and the way of transmitting information and adapting the structure, objectives, and creative concepts to the interests of the recipient to increase the identification of the benefit with the interests of your audience.
