In the Case of Gibson, Manchester City Council stated that they “may be prepared to sell the house”; whilst in the Storer case they stated that “if you will sign the Agreement and return to me, I will send you the Agreement sign on behalf of the Council in exchange”. The language and conduct of the Manchester City Council was objectively scrutinized in each case and found that there was intention to be bound in the Storer case however there was no intention to be bound in the Gibson case, Poole (2012).

Critics of manipulative advertising are cited by Phillips as couching their critiques within the language of ethics, a phenomenon which he believes fails to adequately…

Although all commercials fall under the same genre, there are many different techniques the author can take, depending on the purpose of the commercial and the audience that the author wants to reach. For example, an advertiser can take the celebrity approach and have a celebrity appearance in the commercial.
