1) What are the preferred, negotiated and oppositional readings for the RBK 50 Cent advert? The preferred reading for the 50 cent campaign and advent was to make the audience assume their target demographic was aimed at a younger audience who were surrounded amongst “crime”. The use of 50 Cent in this advertisement makes Rebook come across as “cool” and diverse with the use of using someone with a rather controversial background and history.
