Let's analyze what real advertisers are doing in your personal feed.
The Task:
-
Open your favorite social media app and scroll until you find a "Sponsored" or "Ad" post.
-
Take a screenshot of the ad.
-
Post your screenshot and write a short critique (around 150 words) answering these questions:
-
Was the targeting right for you? (Why do you think the algorithm showed this to you? Does it match your interests, age, or recent searches?)
-
Did the visual grab your attention? (Why or why not? Was it just "selling" or telling a story?)
Peer Review: Read at least one other student's critique and reply. Have you seen similar ads? Do you agree with their assessment?
