Most commercials that advertise products often throw them in the viewer’s face. Companies believe that their product is the best and people should buy it because of their many different reasons. Commercials normally share important information about the product; maybe how much it costs, the special features that make it so great, and how someone can get their hands on it. This one is different. The Chevrolet commercial “Maddie” creates positive attitudes and emotional connections to promote its product with a down to earth, heart touching story that audiences can relate to. This commercial presents a simple story, unlike a more common vehicle commercial that typically endorses the product by delivering facts and information. Chevrolet, nor anything about their vehicle, is verbally mentioned at all in this commercial. The idea of this commercial is obviously to advertise Chevrolet’s product, an Equinox in this case. However, the purpose is deeper than just to show off and market their vehicle. The clear purpose is to touch hearts through its warm story of a golden retriever named Maddie who has …show more content…
The commercial demonstrates the Equinox as a vehicle that lasts through life’s journey. Baldwin lists the important keys to include in a demonstration in “Creating Effective TV Commercials”, stating, “Most important, it must be believable beyond a shadow of doubt” (Baldwin 73). Although this commercial is not a pure demonstration of how someone uses the vehicle, is used in a believable situation as a family car from when the main character is young to when she is in her mid to late twenties. This is a believable length for a family to have a vehicle and implies that Chevrolet’s product has quality and will last a worthy amount of time. The commercial does not use a bogus demonstration of how fancy or fast the vehicle is, as such demonstrations do not always entice
(When they hear the words affordable they go crazy. Everybody is cheap and so is this car, but at least it has good quality (I hope).) This ad as an entity appeals to ethos, pathos, and logos. Of course, as you’re are probably aware by now, the appeal to pathos and logos through the use of what people like. Food and money. They make a very convincing argument as to why you should buy their product. They also, as the previous ad, appeal to ethos through the use of actual people in the car, going on a road trip of sorts. It’s like they’re saying, “If you buy this car, you’ll have so much money over that you could go on a road trip.” That is kind of believable now that I think about it. Not. Unless you make a lot of money. Then go for it I guess. The third and final piece (sadly), is Queen Elizabeth’s “Speech to the Troops at Tilbury.” Throughout the entire piece, she manages to appeal to ethos, pathos, and logos. Her position as the Queen already gives her automatic ethos, but she builds upon it, making her position as queen even more apparent by stating the things she does that no one else can do. She then, just like the ads, appeals to pathos through logos by relating herself to the
Being in a spiralling economy, the automobile industry must step up their games to produce attractive advertisements. Creativity is crucial to attract potential buyers and gain more sales. To target specific prospects through ads, the automobile industry usually apply rhetoric concepts to enhance their product’s appeal in every way, and not just purely on the automobile designs. As men are the main target audience, car ads are usually being advertised as appealing and dangerous. Nevertheless, there are other important aspects to be highlighted as well, which can be perfectly marketed with certain rhetoric aspects. Although automobile ads always target the male audience, the industry also understands how partners or family can influence in purchase
The popular companies showcase their best Super Bowl commercials every year. The popular brands understand the importance of their television advertisement in order to reach the public by associating their products through short stories, testimonies, and humor. This year for the 50th Super Bowl celebration, the Mini Cooper connected with their audience through Serena Williams’s story of how she overcame labels that were given to her as a professional athlete. The author of this commercial connects to the audience through pathos and in order to build credibility he uses ethos.
America’s automobile corporations aim to satisfy the luxury, desire, and needs of the American consumers. They can accomplish this by demonstrating American traits resembling those of the typical American spirit or with relations to the concept of the frontier. In order to do this, an advertisement published by The Courtesy Way Auto dealership in Phoenix Arizona, showcased a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ. The advertisement illustrates a trail surrounded by green pine trees, bushes, rocks, grasses that convey the wilderness in the image. In the distance there is a humbled rustic cabin lying at the peak of hill. Centered between two large rocks, stands the red and chrome pick-up truck. Right above the product is the words “2014 Chevrolet Silverado”,

Positive aspects. The Chevrolet Company took a big step forward in its advertising campaign last spring. The company decided to have a new promotional form which was to run an ad contest that people can post their video clips about the Chevy Tahoe in its website. The benefit for this approach is to involve people who are really interested in the company’s products in conversation (Rose, 2006). By doing the customer-generated advertising, Chevrolet enhances the relationship with its customers and establishes the customer loyalty. People can share their thoughts and participate in the communication which means they have the power to influence the brand and the
This video conveys a deeper meaning for the automobile brand Chevrolet. This commercial portrays a brand of automobile that is more than just a material possession. The message states that a Chevrolet truck is part of the family, creates unforgettable memories, and lasts for many years. This message conveys that sentimental value and memories are worth more than any amount of money that is needed to repair the truck. The emotional man and his family are worried that they are going to lose a part of their family if the truck cannot be repaired. The repairman makes a statement to the man about getting a new truck and when the man discovers an old photo in the glovebox he realizes that the truck is worth more than any amount of money. The man

Over the past sixty years, Chevrolet television commercials have changed in many ways. The first advertisement I looked at was a commercial for Chevrolet that appeared in 1961. The commercial sets the scene with an overhead shot of Detroit, Michigan, where the GM plant is headquartered, then focuses on the Chevrolet show building. The picture then goes directly into a huge showroom that shows all of Chevrolet’s cars in many different colors.

The beginning of the commercial starts with family activities that provide a sense of belonging to a community while Oprah is stating you are missed. One quarter through the commercial it identifies who will be missed by showing a photo of a person in a military uniform. Then the emotional appeal kicks in with the narration of you have been missed , cried for and prayed for. It shows a child’s hand batting flags to persuade the viewer with a sense of patriotism. Now, half way into the commercial you are shown the product Jeep. The ad then shows families reuniting at aiports with Jeep present, driving home in a Jeep with Welcom Home Signs then arriving home closing a Jeep door.
