Animation has become the new creative advertising trend in todays entertainment industry.
As a character-based business, animation can expand the design of advertisement by
applying digital content to different media, such as Internet, mobile, phone technology and
television. However, little research has been conducted on animated ads and animated ads as
spokesperson that identifies whether or not they prove more effective at building consumer
awareness about a product or service. Some research suggest that animated commercials can
effectively provide visual demonstrations and verbal testimonies for a wide variety of
products, while studies on motion, have focused on the relationship between size and speed
and emotional response, as well as explored animated object on the internet.
The classical conditioning paradigm has been applied to the field of consumer behavior. Many
researchers have studied its implications on consumer behavior, and it has been adopted as a
process relevant to advertising. Classical conditioning suggests that positive attitude towards
an advertised product might develop through a product association in a commercial with
other positive stimuli.
Attractive colors, jingles, pleasant music, interesting characters and humor are the example
of potential unconditioned stimuli used in commercials ads and had a deep influence on
consumer
The answer to this question lies within the concept of brand and brand identity. If the aim of
the advertiser is to communicate the identity of a given brand as quickly and as succinctly as
possible, then animation is an ideal medium.
With a brand identity and to desire to become a part of that identity can be extenuated
through the use of a brand character. Animated form and animated characters have been
used to sell everything from childrens toys to cigarettes. These characters are intrinsically
linked to the qualities of the product that they are selling .

ANI MATED COMMERCIAL AS A NEW CREATIVE PLATFORM:
Animation process results in motion pictures that are created by recording a series of still
images-drawings, object, or people in various positions of incremental movement, to produce
the illusion of unbroken motion.
Some researchers emphasize that animation is a highly effective design tool for capturing
viewer interest and attention Animation usually classified into different categories including
CGI [Computer Graphic Image] animation, clay animation [ clay motion], Cartoon animation,
film animation, drawn animation, pixilation, puppet animation and silhouette animation.
There are thirteen different types of animated commercials, which fall into several functional
categories; explanation, demonstration, big model, slice of life, documentary, comparison,
image building, symbol, spectacular, production, commercial, and humor.
The most common type of animation is drawn on cells and is 2-d. It is a traditional design
technique. Advanced technology can create a new style animation. The three-dimensional
animation of clay animation is created. In current entertainment industry, clay animation and
computer generated animation have become the most popular type of animation in films and
televisions commercials.
Currently, animated cartoons have become tools to influence peoples opinion in society.
Clay animation, computer generated animation, puppet animation are the most popular
animation types in todays animation industry. Puppet animation uses 3-d figures that moved
incrementally for each frame of film. Pixilation is animation made by using humans and other
live subject filmed incrementally in various poses.

ADVERTISEMENTS:
Brand familiarity is the primary focus in consumer behavior studies. First, a consumers
familiarity with a product or brand influences concepts as consumer adaptation, self-image,
and compliance, and identification.
Similar studies should focus on the relationships between brand familiarity, consumer
confidence in brand evaluations, consumer attitudes toward brands, and intentions. In term
of brand preference, brand choice, and, consumer create meaning to strengthen their
identities through brand preference.
One of the main advantages of using animation in advertising is the ability of animators to
create environments and worlds that could not be accessed or reproduced by a live action
camera crew. These artificial environments can be used to stimulate imagination and desire,
to create a fantastical world of possibility, which can then be realized by the purchase of a
given product. Coco-pops are advertised by a variety of jungle characters that inhabit a
fantastical world of imagination and fun that is extremely appealing to young children.
Animation can also be a relatively inexpensive process. Pioneers such as Peter Sachs of Larkin
studios and Bob Godfrey of biographic, found quicker cheaper animation methods than the
traditional fluid aesthetic style of Disney. They employed jagged and rough styling that
borrowed from German expressionism. The theory being, to use limited animation to
maximum effect. (Thread Gould, 2005) By emphasizing certain details advertisers can allude
to certain qualities that can be associated with the product.

NEED OF THE STUDY:
This study aims to examine the effects of animation and its relationship to human cognitive
and affective process. Furthermore, it motives the readers to gain better understanding why
animated ads influence and impact consumers cognition, affection and conation response.
Psychological studies on animated ads and emotional response typically identify the form and
content of advertisement as critical factor in research.
Finding of the study helps advertising agencies to know whether they should repeat ads or
bring some modification to increase the satisfaction level of their present and future
consumers.
We have also taken the expert opinion from Mr.Tashfeen, who has worked with several
advertising agencies and currently working at Time and Space .
The subject matter for this research work is to study the influence of animated ads on
children. Following are the main objectives of this report.

LITERATURE REVIEW:-
Animation, which offers entertainment as a form of visual art, has evolved in to character -
based business with the potential to expand its base by offering digital content to media such
as internet or mobile phones .In addition, the animation market has potential benefit,
including the production of animated TV shows and movies, video title sales, and
merchandise sales featuring animated characters. The advent of advanced technology in the
21st century has led to more developed computer graphics that allow animation to extend
into computer games, TV, commercials, and blockbuster films.
Animation is the process of linking a series of slightly different drawing together to simulate
movement [Wilson 2005]. Animation can be recognized as it mean to be produced the world
beyond all imagination. Many advertising practitioners have recognized animation as a new
advertising design tool and a form of visual art in the current entertainment industry.
The greater part of marketers use mass media for their mass marketing and the choice of
media is dependent on the type of message to be conveyed ( ERICK GARWIN; 2009)
Reactions over TV advertisements seems to be stronger over print media specially for
animated advertisements (SHAH &DSOUZA 2010)
Advertisers can strongly influence the purchase decision of consumers especially of animated
advertisements (Ms.URSHELLA RIAZ; student of Karachi school of arts and technology 2012)
Animated advertisements are the cost effective mean to advertise a product or to create
awareness regarding any issue (Mr.OMAIR; LUMS Pakistan 2013)

The measurement scale used was nominal scale because the research is qualitative and we
found the perception of children of different age groups and their attitude towards likeness
or dislikeness of product in relation to animated advertisements.
SAMPLING METHOD:
Two types of sampling are being used by the marketers:
Probability sampling
Non probability sampling
Probability sampling is a method for drawing a sample from the population such that
all the possible samples have a known and specified probability of being known.
Non probability sampling is a sampling procedure in which the selection of
population elements is based on the part of judgment of the researcher or field
interviewer.
The sampling method for this report was probability sampling because here each
sample has an equal chance of being selected and again it would simple random
sampling.

LI MITATIONS:
The major barriers in conducting the survey were:
1. Time limitation :-
For a researcher time has always worked as a barrier to the research process.
As we took interview from the children aging 5 to 15 years time has always
worked as a limitation in our research process. Lack of time availability of
facilitators of ad agency and experts also add to this limitation.

Market Research report On impact of Animated Advertisements On Consumers (KUBS)
3. The volume and statistical analysis and interpretation of data was time consuming.
6. Because sample size was comparatively small it was not possible to generalize results
on overall population.

Children also like the colorful TVC.
The children of age 5-10 years familiar with confectioneries product, whereas the
children of 11-15 age.
RECOMMENDATIONS:-
A similar research focusing on relation between consumer and celebrity / character match
up hypothesis should be conducted .future studies on animated advertisements should
include all of this
There is also a concern about respondents, exclusively children of age 5-15 years who might
respond to animated advertisements differently than people in other consumers segments.
Therefore it would be valuable to replicate this study with a larger and more representative
sample
Novelty effect should be considered in the similar study when using novel advertisements
and stimuli . Advertisers should present a realistic picture instead of fantasy world.
Public service messages should be given along with just advertisements animated
advertisements should increase the level of understanding instead of just entertaining

The role of 3D in Pakistans advertising began with Ding Dong bubbles animated TVC that
received mass appreciation and soon thereafter, every other brand started using 2D animation
to acquire high perception among their consumers.
However, P&Gs health care brand Safeguard stepped outside of the norms, and did something
remarkably creative and introduced Pakistans very own animated superhero named
Commander Safeguard.
As always, a trend started and every other brand caught on the bandwagon to create superhero
for their product. Lifebuoy Germ Busters, Milkateers, Dettol Warriors, Baankay Miyaan and
Burka Avengers are few of the notable examples.
Unfortunately, the circumstances of our country are getting worse day by day. If you want to
learn 3D you cant just read theoretical books or listen to podcasts on your mobile. You need
to have a computer in your access, and that requires proper electricity and high speed
internet connection. You cant just rely on the training given by Pakistani institutes, you
have to extend your knowledge according to the latest versions of the software and for that a
fast internet connection is a pre-requisite. Unfortunately Pakistans government has failed to
fulfil these two essential requirements."
The process of creating a 3D artwork involves a work flow from concept to completion. It
includes various aspects, theories and concept of traditional art. Such as form, color theory,
sculpture, architecture, texture, lighting and composition. 3D is an evolving art and the
techniques we use will soon become outdated as new robust methods and softwares emerge.
For 3D industry to flourish in Pakistan, we need high quality internationally affiliated
institutions, well-established 3D production studios, efficient production pipeline and
dedicated tech savvy 3D artists.
