| The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of presumed vs. actual understanding of four English slogans in a non-English advertising campaign introducing a fictitious American toothpaste brand. To this end we collected 7II surveys from participants in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Italy, confronting them with advertisements containing English slogans. Different slogans were used to measure the effect of both basic and more difficult English. Results would seem to suggest that the use of basic English is the more effective strategy for a non-English speaking target group. However, although our study is an initial attempt to indicate that the use of English in non-English advertisements is either favourable or disadvantageous, it does show that the presumed understanding of the English slogan plays a more important role in the effectiveness of an ad campaign than the actual understanding. |
