Gatorade uses the theme song “Hard Work” and professional athletes to show the durability of the Gatorade sports drink. “Winning is…hard work” is used to describe the dedication and the energy it takes to win. By using the phrase Gatorade is showing that their drink provides the necessary resources needed to keep pushing for success. This advertisement appeals to pathos and ethos. Ethos is shown by the use of professional athletes and the Gatorade brand itself. Pathos is shown by the hard work and dedication that people put into their work to stay on top of their opponent.
As you watch the Gatorade commercial you notice that Gatorade wasn’t only promoting hard work and dedication, but they were also promoting hydration, strength, power, and energy. Dedication is shown by waking up early in the morning, going for your daily jog or walk, while others are still sleeping. Staying hydrated helps the body keep moving and fully functional. Gatorade shows the importance of hydration by athletes taking breaks between workouts. Hydration also reduces the risk of cramps and soreness. Gatorade promotes energy by showing, before eating a Gatorade chewy the athlete did not have the energy he needed to start his morning run or weight lift. However, after eating the chewy they instantly gained energy. Power is symbolized by the lightning bolt, which

Gatorade also targets average citizens who are physically active. During commercial breaks, Gatorade is always broadcasting their product, not only is Gatorade advertised on television, but they also advertise their products on the sidelines of professional sports teams by having large jugs and Gatorade cups on the sideline that is often shown during timeouts. As result, Gatorade advertisement is a success, because when going to buy a sports drink they’re going to remember that Dwayne Wade or whoever their favorite professional athlete drinks
My mom is the biggest supporter that I have, and Procter and Gamble (P&G) demonstrates this perfectly in their commercial. This commercial was featured during the 2016 Rio Olympics for a universal audience to see. Procter and Gamble put together a tear-jerking, heart warming, incredibly relatable commercial to promote their products and what they stand for as a company. They appeal to everyone who had a mom who supported them in some way and especially target moms who care for their children and want what is best for them. The usage of ethos, logos, pathos, and kairos play a very important role in ensuring their commercial is effective. Rhetorical fallacies are also important to P&G for making a persuasive and effective argument, although that argument may be false. The usage of
The athletes are getting less calories by drinking Gatorade instead of any other sports drink. They are still getting the full taste of the Gatorade but with less calories. The advertisement implies that drinking Gatorade will give you all the energy you need, and it will allow consumers to be great like Dwayne Wade. The water droplets on the Gatorade makes the drink look appetizing, and makes you want to taste it even more. Along with these techniques Gatorade uses the rhetorical device ethos to get consumers to purchase the
Gatorade’s most recent commercial, “The Secret to Victory,” focuses on defeat to help make their advertisement effective. The commercial starts out with Michael Jordan, a star basketball player, who asks, “You want to know the secret to victory?” This bold question grabs the attention of the audience. The commercial continues with many star athletes, present and past, that state a time where they failed in their respective careers. Later on, NFL quarterback Matt Ryan, answers Jordan’s proposed question with “defeat,” after a scene of him losing in the Super Bowl. In this essay, I will argue that Gatorade’s “The Secret to Victory” commercial is very effective by using rhetorical components and focusing on defeat.
Watching the commercial for the first time, keeping in mind how it used pathos, ethos, and logos, I noticed that it does not utilize ethos nor logos to promote the commercials product. The commercial relies heavily on pathos to connect with its audience. The commercial plays on such emotions as: patriotism, encouragement, and inspiration. The advertisement also speaks to a comprehensive
The idea of Gatorade was first created by the University of Florida assistant football coach when he was curious as to why many of his players were affected by the heat and contracted heat related illnesses. He worked together with a group of physicians from the university and discovered two factors as to why the players were feeling like this during practices and games. They found that the fluids and electrolytes the players lost through sweat were not being replaced and the amounts of carbs in the players’ bodies used for energy were not being replenished. They then went to the lab and came up with a “balanced carbohydrate-electrolyte” beverage called Gatorade that would replace the key components lost during sweating and exercising (Figure 1).
Gatorade’s “Sweat It to Get It” campaign utilizes a multitude of rhetorical devices in its advertisement. The advertisement takes place on a sunny afternoon and in a generic convenience store. A businessman enters the store on his cell phone and grabs two Gatorades. When he attempts to purchase the drinks, the cashier promptly asks “Do you know what electrolytes are?” The cashier then proceeds to explain that one must sweat to purchase Gatorade and therefore the cashier will not sell the Gatorade to the inactive businessman. Cam Newton then enters the store, staring the businessman down, and then smacks the Gatorades out of the businessman’s hand. The advertisement concludes with Cam Newton saying “You heard what he said” as the slogan “You Don’t Sweat It, You Don’t Get It” scrolls across the screen. The main message of the advertisement is Gatorade is more than just a drink to be consumed mindlessly, but a necessary accompaniment for an active lifestyle.
American’s most savored beverage is beer. It’s one of the top consumed drinks and can be drank for different occasions. Budweiser, one of the most top selling beer companies puts out their commercials to advertise their beers. While their commercials are used to produce sales, what most don’t see is the message they associate when drinking a Budweiser. These commercials often use rhetoric to persuade us. Rhetorical devices are used to be the most effective way to persuade and audience into thinking. Pathos, ethos, and logos are used to make a powerful statement to be successful in their beer sales.
Gatorade does a lot of promoting. They are online though YouTube ads, ads on sports sites like the NBA and their own official website. Gatorade is also the official drink of many sports organizations such as the NBA, NFL, USA basketball, US Soccer Federation, NHL, MLB, MLS, WNBA, high school sports
There is not one human on this planet that does not strive to be great. This commercial reaches out to the population who strive to be great but have yet to achieve greatness. This ad is meant to motivate people that doubt themselves day after day, to finally stop making excuses and begin their journey to greatness; by demonstrating that no matter where you stand on the spectrum you can still become great. Nike successfully utilized a universal trait that all humans possess, to be great; by simply reminding consumers that it is possible.
Each sports drink contains 21 grams of sugar are contained in a 12 ounce bottle of Gatorade. With most bottles being 32 ounces, the consumer is actually ingesting 56 grams of sugar. Although this is not healthy, it is less grams of sugar than an average soda per ounce. “In fact, Berkeley researchers say the sugar in sports drinks may be contributing to the child obesity epidemic by increasing their caloric intake”. For consumers that are less active, the added sugar in their diet is not recommended. Weight gain from extra calories has also been found to be a problem for less active consumers. “For people who are not exercising for at least one hour, 5 days per week, water is the best bet for staying hydrated.” Experts suggest sports drink consumption should be monitored by children’s parents. The best source of hydration for children continues to be water (Schaefer). Unless a person is participating in vigorous exercise for a long period of time, water is the best option for
Gatorade has been sponsoring the NFL for many years, starting in 1968. Its involvement with the sport has made the drink known to many today “The official drink of the NFL” (Gatorade). According to Naomi Klein “…the wave of mergers in the corporate world over the last few years is a deceptive phenomenon: it only looks as if the giants, by joining forces, are getting bigger and bigger”(4). And that is exactly what the corporation of Gatorade was trying to carry out. By joining its name with the NFL, which at that time was becoming a famous sport to watch, Gatorade has become the number one sport drink for athletes. In the “Peyton Manning-Gatorade Commercial”, the corporation of Gatorade is not only selling their product, but is also
However the commercial shows that gatorade is a critical part to success. As long as you work hard and of course, consume their products which not only leads to hydration, but also prepares you to work harder, you will me more like a professional athlete. The method that the Gatorade commercial uses is very simple but very effective. This method is using big names in sports such as Lebron James, Richard Sherman, and others in commercials that air during sporting events. The reason why this tactic is so effective is because the audience that Gatorade is targeting is watching a commercial during a break from an NBA game. All Gatorade has to do then is air a commercial about basketball and they have the watcher’s
Gatorade is a flagship brand of PepsiCo and has a commanding 75% market share of the sports nutrition beverage marketplace globally, being sold into 80 different countries according to the latest PepsiCo annual report published in late 2011. Gatorade's success in branding and product marketing has actually expanded the global market for sports nutrition beverages during the late 1990s and into the 21rst century. Recently however the company has faced many channels including product line extensions of the last decade which failed to deliver strong results (Pollack, 1997) and a more critical analysis of their ingredients as many of their beverages are sold in public schools (Tallon, 2009). Despite these challenges however, Gatorade continues to experience strong market share and growth. The intent of this analysis is to evaluate and provide recommendations for each of the four areas of the marketing mix including product, price, promotion and place or distribution.
Powerade and Gatorade are two very successful companies; in some ways, they?re alike and in other areas, they are very different. To compare and contrast these companies, we?re going to look at a television commercial advertising they?ve each produced. Each of these commercials involve basketball as their sporting backdrop, but more importantly, both commercials utilize the rhetorical triangle: Ethnos, Pathos, and Logic. These three things are used to persuade the audience.
Gatorade has emerged as the global leader in sports nutrition beverages by continually managing their brand to signify high energy, athletic excellence combine with one of the most efficient new product development and introduced processes in the beverage industry. As a result of being able to consistently synchronize these many components of their business so well, Gatorade today holds a 75% market share in the sports nutrition market globally today. Gatorade is owned by PepsiCo, which has made it possible for the company to sell in 80 countries today. Gatorade relies heavily on the PepsiCo distribution and retail network globally. Gatorades' revolutionary approach to managing branding for beverages has served to increase the total market size for this product category globally (Huang, Sarigöllü, 2012). Despite the continued widespread adoption of Gatorade as a healthy energy drink, the company has encountered resistance to its brand and the ingredients used for creating the many variations of Gatorade energy drinks (Tallon, 2009). Despite these setbacks the Gatorade brand continues to experience exceptional growth and stability over time.
