Selection and Justification:

The campaign which filmed the busy street of Berlin has hidden cameras on both sides of the road. The individual waiting on both sides of the street had to press the button which looked like an ordinary crossing button on which push together was written. The individuals standing on either side of the road had to press the button together at the same time and both were given a freshly brewed cup of Nescafe by the vending machines (Nestle, 2015). The advertisement by Nescafe mainly targets those citizens whose intake of coffee is a lot in comparison to different nations as well as it also relates to the changes in consumer behavior by disguising the pedestrian button with a vending machine. As people pushed the button together, they were rewarded with a cup of coffee and also could cross the street while socially connecting to the other person, people noticed their surroundings. Nestle has always made advertisements that will attract consumers in buying their products and this market tactic has always been successful.
