The science of selling
Article Abstract:
Representations of DNA can be used in advertising campaigns, and Renault is one company doing this. The message the company aims to convey is that evolution involves gradual change, as has the development of the vehicle that they are advertising. Some manufacturers may find that the public has an ambiguous view of scientific developments, fearing change and being concerned about issues such as genetically altered foods. This was the case of Monsanto, which found that consumers were hostile to its products and were made aware of their presence by advertising.
