Wondering if Shannon works w/ big Companies

[Shannon]

Ok, sure.

But are symbolic hidden subliminal messages in ads really had helped make those big names products become popular? or they just produced a really good products to market?

And do you think tv ads and even billboard ads contained lots of hidden symbolic subs? and did it really works influening the minds of the public? (coz I thought their repetitions are not that enough to influence people)

I believe that while every little bit helps, it would take an extraordinary number of impressions in a regular and fairly short period of time to make much impact which was acted on for visual subliminals in ads. Audio and scent based are much more effective that way. I wouldn't be able to tell you what methods are being used; even with the best and most powerful subliminals, it requires time. Most subliminal programs out there are vastly less powerful than even my old 3rd gen stuff.

TV ads I believe use psychology to incorporate subliminal messages, but not in direct ways. They use what are known as implied subliminals. Messages that are present because something implies them.

For example, ever notice how you only see perfect product in advertising? Ever see a real hamburger compared to the picture you see of the perfect burger with perfect lettuce and tomatoes with water droplets in just the right places and steam rising from just the right places, and perfect bun and burger and ketchup placement? Or the fruit that's perfectly shaped, perfectly ripe, perfectly even, and has no blemishes? Or the ads where everyone is always extremely happy with the product being pitched, or extremely unhappy with a perfectly good solution that would negate the need to buy said product?

Those are implied information, and the message is that the product is more appealing than it really is. This therefore is a subliminal message which is put across without using audio or words or embedded imagery.

Television is probably the greatest brainwashing device ever created, which is a big part of why my two TVs never even get turned on.
