If you have ever taken an ADPR class and if you don’t know what ADPR stands for you might not have taken one. Advertising and Public Relations is something that not a lot of people know about but affects how everyone interprets media.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a press release or a new Doritos commercial someone in ADPR probably had something to do with it. Even if you only take one class of ADPR you probably won’t use the information you learned in class very much but here are a few things you probably do or notice after taking an ADPR class

You look at commercials differently

You no longer just watch commercials you start to analyze them on what their true meaning is behind the corny message. You might even notice you do it until you really think about it.

You read labels differently

You will notice little things about simple things like toothpaste tubes you will notice the little P&G. Which you now know stands for Procter & Gamble.

Social Media

When you’re on your social media and you just don’t know why before you always had things that popped on your feed up were things that interest you. After an ADPR class, you know in full detail that that's an advertising thing is to find your interest because you are in that target audience for that particular project.

Stock & Trade

You may or may not have paid attention to stock and trade in companies before, but after I started taking an ADPR class I noticed them started to understand it more.

News

You start to follow the news a little more to keep up with what’s current to see if some company has done something good, bad, or ugly.

You figure out if it’s for you or not.

Since taking an ADPR class I have just started to scratch the surface of the intricate world that ADPR lives in you learn if it's for you or not. I don’t think that this is something you can kind of like, it's something you’re either into or not. I also could be wrong.. who knows.
