As detailed in the spot, on thetruth.com website users can
superimpose a logo for the campaign, an ―X‖ in an orange square,
onto a profile picture, meaning their faces are still visible.
―We have the power,‖ text in the spot concludes. ―We have the creativity. We will be the generation that ends smoking. Finish it.‖
The commercial, which will be introduced on Monday, is part of a campaign that includes cinema advertising and digital advertising, and is being pitched to consumers ages 15 to 21.
It is the first campaign for Legacy (formerly known as the American Legacy Foundation) by 72andSunny in Los Angeles, which is owned by MDC Partners. The foundation will spend an estimated $130 million on advertising over the next three years on all its antismoking campaigns, which include efforts that focus on older smokers.
Created as part of the landmark 1998 settlement between the tobacco industry and attorneys general, the foundation received its last major payment from the settlement in 2003, and now relies on investment income from the original funding and new fund-raising.
Public health campaigns typically rely on donated advertising from media companies, but like a smoking-cessation campaign from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
―Tips From Former Smokers,‖ the ―Truth‖ campaign pays for
advertising placement.
―We need to use the most powerful, effective, well-targeted tools at our disposal, and paid advertising gives us an opportunity to do that‖ in a way that public service announce­ment programs would not, said Robin Koval, a former advertising agency executive who became chief executive of Legacy in 2013.
―We are definitely David going up against Goliath here,‖ she
continued, referring to the tobacco industry‘s marketing expenditures, which the Federal Trade Commission has estima-
91
ted at $8.4 billion annually. (That figure includes promotional discounts.)
When the ―Truth‖ campaign was introduced 14 years ago,
the subject of the foundation‘s commercials was a trove of
internal marketing documents from tobacco companies that had come to light as part of the attorneys general suit. Ads built on the documents, like a 1984 R. J. Reynolds report that stated,
―younger adult smokers are the only source of replacement smokers,‖ had the intended effect of infuriating younger
consumers.
But Glenn Cole, chief creative officer of 72andSunny, said that blatant examples of marketing cigarettes to younger consumers were no longer appearing with the same frequency and teenagers today were more drawn to taking positive action than protesting.
―In the past work, there‘s a clear enemy, an opposing force, and that was Big Tobacco, and they‘re still there,‖ Mr. Cole said,
adding that with the portion of teenage nonsmokers at 91 percent, the new strategy is to enlist them to persuade peers to not smoke.
―An insight we built this campaign around is that this up­and-coming generation is just craving to be agents of social
change,‖ Mr. Cole continued, ―and their biggest frustration is that they just don‘t know how to do it.‖
Matthew L. Myers, president of Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, agreed with the new tactic.
―Fourteen years ago, the at-risk audience that they were looking at was one that was highly rebellious and uninformed
about how the tobacco industry had manipulated them,‖ Mr. Myers said, referring to Legacy. ―The original ‗Truth‘ campaign
was designed to both get the fact of how the tobacco industry manipulated them in front of kids, and to take advantage of their naturally rebellious nature.‖
92
In an era when a presidential candidate successfully rallies
younger voters with the most upbeat of slogans, ―Yes, we can,‖
Mr. Myers agrees that positive messages resonate better with
today‘s teenagers.
―All the best marketing research today shows that today‘s
young people are take-charge and want to be involved with the confidence that they can make a difference,‖ he said [3].

David was a shepherd boy who lived in Israel. He took care
of sheep. God chose David to take care of the Jewish people.
David played the harp. When the king of Israel was tired
of fighting in the war, he asked David to play for him. David‘s
music made him feel better.
One day a terrible giant named Goliath started bragging to his soldier friends that none of the Jews would dare to fight him. And he was right. The Jewish soldiers were all afraid of big Goliath. What would happen to the Jewish people?
Then little David said: ―I‘ll fight Goliath. God will help me.‖ And he went and got some stones for his slingshot.
The giant just laughed at him. David put a stone in his sling and flung it. The stone hit big Goliath on the head. Then

away.

History of advertising as business
In ancient times the most common form of advertising was by word of mouth; however, commercial messages and political campaign displays have been found in the ruins of Pompeii. Egyptians used papyrus to create sales messages and wall posters, while lost-and-found advertising on papyrus was common in Greece and Rome. Wall or rock painting for commercial advertising is another manifestation of an ancient media advertising form, which is present to this day in many parts of Asia, Africa, and South America. For instance, the tradition of wall paintings can be traced back to Indian rock-art painting that goes back to 4000 BC. As printing developed in the 15th and 16th century, advertising expanded to include handbills. In the 17th century advertisements started to appear in weekly newspapers in England.
These early print ads were used mainly to promote books, which became increasingly affordable thanks to the printing press, and medicines, which were increasingly sought after as disease ravaged Europe. However, false advertising and so-called "quack" ads became a problem, which ushered in regulation of advertising content.
As the economy was expanding during the 19th century, the need for advertising grew at the same pace. In the US classified ads became popular, filling pages of newspapers with small print messages promoting all kinds of goods. The success of this advertising format led to the growth of mail-order advertising such as the Sears Catalog, at one time referred to as the "Farmer's Bible". In 1843 the first advertising agency was established by Volney Palmer in Philadelphia. At first the agencies were just brokers for ad space in newspapers, but by the
95
20th century, advertising agencies started to take over responsibility for the content as well.
The 1960s saw advertising transform into a modern, more scientific approach in which creativity was allowed to shine, producing unexpected messages that made advertisements more tempting to consumers' eyes. The Volkswagen ad campaign featuring such headlines as "Think Small" and "Lemon" ushered in the era of modern advertising by promoting a "position" or "unique selling proposition" designed to associate each brand with a specific idea in the reader or viewer's mind.
The late 1980s and early 1990s saw the introduction of cable television and particularly MTV. Pioneering the concept of the music video, MTV ushered in a new type of advertising: the consumer tunes in for the advertisement, rather than it being a byproduct or afterthought. As cable (and later satellite) television became increasingly prevalent, "specialty" channels began to emerge, and eventually entire channels, such as Home Shopping Network and ShopTV emerged. Marketing through the Internet opened new frontiers for advertisers and led to the "dot-com" boom of the 1990s. Entire corporations operated solely on advertising revenue, offering everything from coupons to free Internet access. At the turn of the 21st century, the search engine Google revolutionized online advertising by emphasizing contextually relevant, unobtrusive ads intended to help, rather than inundate, users. This has led to a plethora of similar efforts and an increasing trend of interactive advertising.
Today, innovations as "guerrilla promotions", which involve unusual approaches such as staged encounters in public places, giveaways of products such as cars that are covered with brand messages, and interactive advertising where the viewer can respond to become part of the advertising message. This reflects an increasing trend of interactive and "embedded" ads. [2].

MODAL VERBS
Глаголы can-could, may-might, must, have to, have got
to, shall, will, should, ought to, need, be to являются
модальными. Это глаголы, которые не выражают действие или состояние, а передают только отношение говорящего к действию, т. е. возможность, предположение, необходимость, долженствование и т. д. Действие же выражается инфинити­вом, который употребляется после модальных глаголов.
Модальные глаголы имеют ряд особенностей:
не имеют окончания –s в третьем лице единственного лица настоящего времени группы Indefinite (кроме
have to, have got to);
не имеют неличных форм; после модальных глаголов (кроме указанных с части-
цей to) употребляются глаголы в форме инфинитива без частицы to; вопросительные и отрицательные формы модальных глаголов образуются без вспомогательного глагола to do (кроме глагола have to).

Модальный глагол have to (have got to)
Модальный глагол have to (have got to) употребляется, когда речь идет о долженствовании, обусловленном внешними причинами или обстоятельствами.
Example: Catholics have to go to the church on Sundays.
Католики должны ходить в церковь по воскресеньям (их
религия им это предписывает).
Отрицательная форма оборота to have to образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to do, отрицательная форма to have got – при помощи частицы not после have. Обе формы выражают отсутствие необходимости выполнять действие.
Example: You don’t have/haven’t got to work today. – Вам не нужно сегодня работать.
Модальные глаголы should, ought to
Should и ought to имеют значение личного совета,
рекомендации, личного мнения. В русском языке они соответствуют словам «следует», «нужно», «нужно бы».
Example: You should be more attentive. - Вам следует быть более внимательным. You ought to start at once. – Тебе следует начать сейчас же.
Разница между глаголами состоит в следующем: при использовании should выражается субъективное мнение, ought to имеет более объективный оттенок необходимости совершить действие.
Глаголы shall, will
Глагол shall употребляется в качестве модального в вопросах в 1-м и 3-м лицах единственного и множественного числа с целью получения указаний:
Example: Shall we start?
