Why ContentlyVoice

Welcome to ContentlyVoice. After some thought and even a name change ContentlyVoice seemed appropriated for this blog’s title. This blog’s subject is advertising content, an intricate part of society that is impossible to avoid. Advertising weaves itself into every corner of society; it’s practically the stylish fabric that our society wears. And because there is no shortage of content I have chosen it as my topic of choice. Whether ads bombard us with labels or seduce us with brands, they dictate how we contently or un-contently live our lives.

I have love/hate relationship with advertising content. It eloquently intrudes my life and more displeasing my thoughts. I cannot get away from them! And even when I know I want to, there is that one enticingly wicked MAC poster featuring Lady Gaga’s new lip balm on the wall of my subway train! I digress, this blog IS NOT centered around the woes of advertising targeting women, but advertising.  We are all in this together, just look at the statistics on how much me consume as a country. I am not sure if “advertising” is the cause of prodigal lifestyles, but I know from experience content can be an illusive infiltrator on the unsuspecting mind.

Lastly I think the subject is highly relevant in today’s image driven society and it also has a well-established historical catalog to critique, compare, and analyze. This content has shaped societies, influenced cultures and created trends that have influenced generations even after these ads are long gone. I am the right one to write on this subject. Arguably, if not definitively, was born and breed in the advertising capitol of the world, along with belonging the most advertised to demographics. I am, although micro in size, the perfect focus group, or should I say person. Happy reading all!
