Entering a Conversation about Brand Marketing<\/p>\n<p>In essay #4, you will enter in conversation with scholars who have written about branding and marketing from diverse perspectives: Naomi Klein, author of \u201cNo Logo,\u201d <\/p>\n<p>and Sally Satel and John O. Lilienfeld, authors of \u201cThe Buyologist is In: The Rise of Neuromarketing.\u201d After reading their essays, discussing their ideas with your <\/p>\n<p>classmates, and doing some preliminary Internet research about branding and marketing, you will craft your own essay, anchored by a thesis that makes a contribution to <\/p>\n<p>this conversation. Your audience is educated peers who have read both essays. Respond to the following prompt. (You do not need to produce this prompt in your essay. <\/p>\n<p>If you do, it will not count toward the required word count for the essay.)<\/p>\n<p>Are brands invading our brains? Are we what we buy? Writers as diverse as Naomi Klein and Sally Satel and John O. Lilienfeld suggest that marketing has gone far beyond <\/p>\n<p>simply advertising products to producing lifestyle brands and even marketing to consumers at the neurological level. According to these writers, we seem to have <\/p>\n<p>entered a world where consumers buy ideas, not products. Is this a positive development? Should consumers fear branding and neuromarketing, or do these new techniques <\/p>\n<p>allow customer satisfaction to reach higher and higher levels? Teach your readers what you think is the most appropriate way to respond to corporate branding and\/or <\/p>\n<p>neuromarketing. Use the two assigned readings along with your experiences to enter this conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Guidelines for Essay<\/p>\n<p>Length\/Due Date: approximately 800-1,000 words, due Sunday midnight Central Standard Time (CST).<\/p>\n<p>Style\/Format: This, as all essays in EN106, should be formatted in a standard scholarly format.

Use your skills of quotation, paraphrase, and <\/p>\n<p>summary to incorporate these writers\u2019 perspectives, and be sure to provide in-text citations using a standard scholarly style, such as MLA or APA. And, of course, you <\/p>\n<p>must also provide appropriate documentation for any other sources you cite.<\/p>\n<p>File format: Please submit your essay as a .doc, .docx, or .pdf file.
