Needs to be relevant to the target audience Divergence (present an idea in a novel, different or
unusual way) When consumer involvement is low or ad clutter is high it is difficult for an ad to get
noticed. To achieve this goal the ad must be frequently repeated or include colourful, moving, novel,
unexpected, or affect-evoking stimuli. (Greenwald and Leavitt 1984)
8. 8. Divergence Divergent ads should be more challenging to decode and interpret than convergent
ads and thus require more elaborate processing to achieve understanding Smith and Yang 2004 In
other words creative ads work by making the target audience think. If you make someone think they
are more likely to remember, and be impacted by, the message
