Welcome to the Wonderful World of Advertainment...

Hello! This may not be the first blog I have ever created, but it is certainly the first with a purpose: I am a junior Integrated Marketing Communications student at Ithaca College and am taking a class in which we must choose a current issue in the media world and then create a blog related to that topic.

My chosen topic is Entertainment Branding. I will be looking at this topic from a fairly wide perspective, and hope to answer the following questions throughout the course of the semester:

-What are new trends in advertainment?
-Are advertisers actually getting their point across?
-Does it ruin the message by having it so closely tied to a game or some other form of what has traditionally been entertainment for the consumer?
-How far will people go to integrate advertisement messaging with entertainment?

As an IMC major, I am extremely interested in this topic. Through blogging about the subject, perhaps I will come to a conclusion as to the effectiveness of this relatively new idea. It should be exciting!
