Advertisements can be defined as published papers or videos used to promote a product and to persuade customers to buy a certain product from a certain company. Whether people buy a product because of an advertisement or simply because of the brand, product sales have gone up ever since the firsts ads were seen around the 1920’s. While ads constantly use the same tactics to influence people, the tactics change based on the evolving society. For example, the 7 Up company have advertised their drinks since the 1930’s, but over time they have developed and adapted to the changing society. A simple black and white poster featuring a bright orange 7 Up logo was the first 7 Up ad seen, originating in the 1930’s. The words on the ad appeal to those …show more content…
A pretty, smiling woman is featured in the ad with a man standing behind her, whipping his head with exhaustion at the bowling alley. The man's expression is explained in the caption which reads, “Does that bowling ball feel heavier than it did a few minutes ago? Quick - bring on the 7 Up! Here's brand new energy for you in just 2 to 6 minutes.” This description almost makes 7 Up sound like an energy drink and it was created to appeal to men that want to impress women with their energy and strength, for example, when bowling.

For a regular human being who does not follow baseball, the man on the advertisement might seem like just another athlete. However, to someone that has come across the sport, the man on the advertisement will jolt their memory. The man in the advertisement looks very energetic and confident.

In today’s society, no matter where you are, there is always a good chance that you have seen an advertisement. These little creatures are everywhere. You may see them when you are reading a magazine, watching TV, or surfing the internet. We have become so used to them. Advertisements are good at making us stop what we are doing and giving them our full attention. What is an advertisement? An advertisement is an announcement made to the public. In Jib Fowles’ article, “Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals,” he is informing us that companies are spending millions of dollars on advertisements to grab our attention in order to manipulate us into spending or thinking of spending our hard-earned money on their product. Even though a lot of people do not want to believe that a paper that is eight times eleven with an image and no more than five words is manipulative because we want to think that we are not that easy to trick. Nike created an advertisement for one of
In the commercial they show a football player. This shows that the product is for active people. When the football player drinks the PowerAde he looks refueled and ready to go.

Cultural reinforcement, the main tool involved in captivating an audience with a video text, is what Scholes believes to be the largest factor included in this Budweiser commercial. Without the cultural background of living where we do, comprehending the plot pummeled upon us in this commercial would be impossible. Without knowledge of baseball and its rules, we wouldn't know that the umpire had made a close, yet correct call, we wouldn't know that a screaming old white man running out onto the field was commonplace; we wouldn't even know why the man who swung the stick at the ball was running towards a white bag on the edge of a dirt path lined by grass. All commercials rely on some amount of previous knowledge, this commercial is no different. Late in the commercial in question, while the manager is toasting the umpire, and the Budweiser music is playing in the background, the viewer realizes subconsciously that the umpire has "made it," that he will live happily ever after, however untrue this may be. Our culture has influenced us so much that we almost require happy endings, within a 28 second commercial we can see the entire life of a black man unfold before our eyes, and by the time the commercial is over, we know he will have a happy life. The commercial doesn't actually sell beer, it simply sells the

¨You can sell ice to an eskimo.¨ Ever since I was a youngster, people have always told me how much potential I had to be a salesman. Such remarks provoked me to investigate the means by which an ad is persuasive and able to influence someone to buy a product. Through diligent effort, I learned that having a catchy slogan can persuade someone to support a business or organization. Of all of the slogans in today's society, from McDonald’s to Walmart’s, the slogan that stands out to me happens to be Nike's, ¨Just do it.¨ In a commercial aired on the 25th anniversary of the slogan, the theme is to ¨Just do it¨ even if the odds are in favor of your opponent. The 90-second commercial begins by picturing average athletes who are pressured
The commercial starts out silent, panning over a open road, out in the country, with a single silhouette of a person running at the end of it. You can slightly hear the sound of the runners shoes scraping the asphalt and his heavy breathing. The narrator then begins to talk about greatness. How it 's just something we made up, and many of us believe that it 's a gift reserved for a few chosen, and that the rest can only stand by and watch. All while the runner is getting closer to the camera, at this point you can now tell that he is overweight kid and struggling to run at a mere
The 1950s is known as the “booming era”. A lot of things were booming in the 1950s. There was the height of the famous baby boom which was named from the roughly 77 million babies born between 1946 and 1964(The 1950s). Another boom was in the television industry, even though televisions had been around for 20 years or so, televisions were now in ninety percent of homes in America by the 50s(Culture). Advertisements also began to boom as they started to target the younger generation as their viewers. One particular ad is for the popular soft drink 7up.

As an article from the MarketingDaily by Lukovitz (2011) Ace Metrix was used to rank the commercial. At the time the commercial
Representations of men in media have a different approach—they tend to focus on strength, power, physique, independence, etc… The first ad portrays a clearly athletic, strong, male individual. His expression is one of determination and focus—He’s not going to let anyone get in his way. He is aggressive, and overflowing with testosterone. It is unclear what the product is, something to do with athletic performance. The next image is fitted with the caption “Always A Champion”, making it simple to realize this ad is all about the male ego. This man has a very intimidating expression, one of strength and—almost anger. His positioning shows off his clearly muscular arms and his aura is almost overpowering. In both images, the idea that a true man should be strong, aggressive, etc… is presented. For any normal male individual viewing this ad, he would feel like that is what he should be—if he was a “real man”.
