Resumen
[ES] Este Trabajo de Fin de Grado analiza tres anuncios que incorporan la temática común del
activismo social con la intención de mostrar las técnicas en la construcción del discurso
publicitario, con especial atención a su función sociocultural. Los tres anuncios son campañas
de las empresas de Pepsi, Nike y Cruzcampo. Los análisis describen cómo todos los elementos
del discurso publicitario son significativos y contribuyen a conseguir el objetivo de transmitir
un mensaje convincente. Tras la interpretación de los anuncios, se debate si la incorporación de
temas de activismo social es una cuestión de un respaldo auténtico o de explotación de su
popularidad.
