To reach the public, food advertising companies promote food in a variety of ways. The purpose of food advertising campaigns has evolved throughout time.

In recent years, children and teenagers have been seen as a significant market force in the US food and beverage business. Children and teenagers are increasingly the focus of intensive and focused food marketing and advertising campaigns. Due to their potential purchasing power, influence, and status as future adult customers, food marketers are particularly interested in young people as consumers. To establish brands and sway young people’s purchasing habits, several strategies and channels are employed to connect with them starting when they are infants. Television advertising, in-school marketing, product placements, kids clubs, the Internet, toys, and items with brand logos, and promotions geared for young people, such as cross-selling and tie-ins, are just a few of the food marketing channels that are used today. Foods sold to children typically include a lot of sugar and fat, which is against official nutritional guidelines. Some fast food restaurants provide sugary drinks and unhealthy foods to children which make them obese. The food and beverage industry does not realize the impact of unhealthy food on children. Their marketing techniques highlight that these sugary drinks are healthy. They use television commercials to show the positive impacts of fast food. For example, Coca Cola and Burger King use television food advertising to attract children. In certain circumstances, food marketers promote unhealthy food in their ad. They do not realize the implication of their ad on children’s health. That’s why RUDD Center encourages food and beverage marketers to avoid unhealthy food in their ad. Health should be the primary importance of any food marketer when creating an ad for his/her company.
