Global Advertising and Brand Promotion
The assessment is an essay assignment which accounts for 50% of the mark awarded for the MKT3006 module.
Total word count: 2,000 words (+/- 10%) excluding references and appendices.
Assignment Topic
Using semiotics approach, analyse an advertisement of your choice from any part of the world.
Assignment guidance
- Presentation. Your work should take the form of a 2,000 word (+/- 10%) essay assignment.
The assignment should be word processed. All pages should be numbered. Use headings and sub-headings appropriately to make clear the structure of your essay. You do not need to include table of contents.
Interpretation of word limits
Your work must comply with the assessment word limit +/- 10% (excluding references, bibliography and appendices). Work that does not comply will not be marked. You MUST include a word count on the front of your essay.
⦁ Submit an electronic copy of your assignment, using Turnitin.
⦁ The font size must be size 12, with double spacing.
⦁ Margins to be 2.54cm
- Referencing. You should demonstrate your reading in the subject area in your work through reference to work from appropriate sources such as journals, books, reports etc. THESE MUST BE CLEARLY REFERENCED IN YOUR ESSAY USING THE HARVARD AT NEWCASTLE STYLE GUIDE. Do not simply regurgitate diagrams or extensive general information from the textbooks or articles. You should assume that we know the workings of basic theoretical or analytical models and will allocate marks for the way you apply them to the question and use them to support a line of argument that helps you to answer the question. Where you use direct quotations or show diagrams, try to keep them short and ensure that they make a direct and clear contribution to your argument. All direct quotations MUST be clearly cited with a page number.
- Graphics. Use diagrams and brief tables if appropriate to illustrate points and to support your arguments. Ensure that these are relevant, based on your reading, and that their significance to your argument is clear.
- Appendices. You may attach appendices to your work which will not be included in the word-count. Appendices may include, for example, certain tables or analyses, the conclusions or part of which you have included in the main text. They should not include any information that is essential to your argument, nor should they act as a ‘dumping ground’ for information with which you do not know what to do. Just as appendices do not influence the word count, so they will not affect the mark you are awarded for the work.
- Plagiarism
The assignment should be your own work. Please note the advice on cheating, plagiarism and referencing available in your programme handbook.
Further advice on plagiarism and referencing is available from the following web sources:

Yes or no, are ESG metrics philosophically and politically neutral? Do they correspond to all of the principles of Catholic Social Teaching?
The topic of this research paper is: Environmental, Social, and Governance ratings. This is a controversial political, social, and religious issue, but for the purpose of this paper I would like to analyze as a business issue.
This is a controversial issue because it gets at who we are as people and what human flourishing look like. One can really only answer these questions if one has an idea about human nature and a developed robust Anthropology. ESG ratings claim to be neutral and support obvious goals for society.
Please compose a 5 page paper on:
Part 1. Yes or no, are ESG metrics philosophically and politically neutral? Do they correspond to all of the principles of Catholic Social Teaching?
Your paper must analyze the precise ESG metrics.
You will need to consider the various principles of Catholic Social Teaching and evaluate which you think best help(s) to answer this problem. (You may also include why you think any other approach outlined in the textbook that would be helpful).
How would a more robust vision of ESG change in light of the principles of CST?
Part 2 – Practical Problem: One of the parts of ESG is to develop a strong understanding of who stakeholders are – this includes workers, communities, customers, the environment, as well as shareholders.
One defense of the Twitter Board of Directors decision to rebuff the hostile takeover by Elon Musk has been made in light of an ESG compatible vision of stakeholders. Namely, that it would be irresponsible to the community (of the world?) as a whole to allow the free speech that Musk has touted. Moreover, such a shift in philosophy supported by Musk would negatively impact workers at Twitter who are distressed at the social/political positions that Musk allegedly advocates. So, the argument goes, despite an obviously robust evaluation of the company that would serve the shareholders well, the Board is in fact acting more responsibly by thwarting Musk and putting limitations on the amount of stock one person can own.
Do you think this is a legitimate application of ESG by Twitter?
Do you think this is a legitimate application of Principles of Catholic Social Teaching
