Topic: advertising
Order Description
The question i choose is question 2, and I think you should focus on the ads strategy for different countries of DeBeers, for example Asia and Europe they implemented different strategies based on their different attitudes about women. Also A cosmetic brand did similar thing for the Indian market and the Europe market, they claimed that using their cosmetic products will make girls white and that will lead to a better future.
Or the question 15 "How ‘conversational’ (Spurgeon 2008) is online advertising? Discuss with reference to specific examples" can also be chosen because this is question has a clear reference reading.
The writer can choose either question.

Most importantly:
1: The essay shall be about "open up research focus" or a "case study"
2: please read through the requirement carefully for anything i didnt mention in this introduction, because this requirement seems confusing to me.
