Can advertising be moral? The tripartite of advertising (advertisers, media, and agencies) ought to include a fourth element: the public. This is the group the critics of advertising are concerned about when they question the morality and benefits of advertising. The public should be viewed as overlapping and interacting with the other three groups. To explore the morality of advertising it is necessary to explore how advertising affects people. What is the role of advertising in society? It creates employment, provides the public with free and inexpensive media, it supports media independence, it provides information, it pushes prices down and quality up, and it spreads awareness of brands.

“Beauty Is Growing Up”: A Critical Case Study of Femvertising in Contemporary South Korea

advertising in contemporary society case study

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in (Re)Presenting Gender ((PSRG))

1175 Accesses

In contemporary advertising worldwide, the practice known as “femvertising” has been recognized for some time as a highly effective strategy to leverage feminist values by appearing to challenge traditional female stereotypes. Following the success of the Dove “Real Beauty” campaign, launched in 2004, many advertisers in the West adopted messages of female empowerment in their product campaigns. In South Korea (hereafter Korea), advertisers were slow to grasp the potential of femvertising, but recently advertising strategies that appear to critique or overturn traditional female beauty standards, for example, around ageing and body image, have become popular. I argue that the limitations of the femvertising strategies prevent them from posing a truly radical challenge to traditional patriarchal values in Korea. By textually deconstructing one notable case of recent femvertising in Korea, the Sulwhasoo “Beauty Is Growing Up” (아름다움은 자란다) campaign, I will show that apparent messages of female empowerment can still have the effect of promoting traditional female beauty standards and heteronormative feminine values.
