**Implications** - In the last few years, there has been an increased importance placed on ad campaigns that look less like glossy, high-fashion marketing pieces and more like candid, gritty real life images. A company would be wise to invest in advertising that features someone enjoying their products on the streets, in a manner similar to the way an average consumer would. The ad creates a subconscious emotional connection between consumer, model, and brand, increasing the chances the consumer will identify with and purchase it.
