| Advertising with Impact [Anrede]
Dear Readers ,An aura of myth and mystery surrounds the advertising industry; an industry in which no one is older but everyone wins several awards every year and yet vast sums of money are wasted without effect, because it is damn hard to change the behaviour of a target group with a few images and texts. The disparity between appearance and reality is so great because the measurement of advertising impact is actually very complex. But only those who can measure advertising impact turn an expenditure on advertising into an investment in the brand and that is what this newsletter is about. We will begin with a small digression on advertising with testimonials and - more and more important - influencers. A study on this topic many years ago, earned me a call from Hansi Hinterseer's manager ("Mr Hinterseer is not embarrassing!") and press articles garnished with photos of Richard Lugner looking at women's underwear. Nevertheless, we will soon start a new edition in which we will test testimonials and influencers in the German-speaking world. Whether advertising works or not is now measured with a hi-tech spectrum of methods that encompasses brain activity, emotions and the reaction of the pupils and can tell with pinpoint accuracy what works on the consumer and what doesn't. Some advertising agencies hate these methods. Some advertising agencies hate these methods, as advertising investors they should love them, Enjoy your reading, Dr. Frederik Lehner
Advertising with testimonials is not popular with all "If you can't think of anything else, use a celebrity or try sex sells" are quite common criticisms of the concept that advertising has been using since time immemorial: A well-known celebrity recommends a product and because of his or her credibility and fame, the consumer is supposed to do the same. Despite all the prophecies of doom: if it is done well, it works very well. The rise of influencers among young target groups in particular shows that the concept works even when it is clear that the brand recommendation has been bought. Here are a few - very brief - rules on how it works. This applies to both testimonials and influencers.

Robert Hammerstiel's art stands out for its unique style: using bright colours and extremely reduced figurative elements, the artist conveys an emotional density that arises from the need to express memories of wartime experiences and the resulting refugee misery, as well as childhood traumas. Driven by an incomprehensible productivity, Franz Ecker created an almost innumerable oeuvre in the course of his life, with an extreme stylistic breadth and numerous top works that are unparalleled in recent Austrian art history and whose significance has not yet been adequately grasped.
