A Rhetorical Analysis Of The Mercedes Benz Soul Commercial

It is important to realize the basic facts that are associated with cars and with BMW in particular, and that different demographic are attracted towards different types of car, to later understand that even though the product in the ad may be amazing but the ad itself is not. Did you know that in 2010 the number of cars in the world reached a billion (Noël)? Today’s culture is highly surrounded and based on the use of cars. They are such a prominent part of our culture today that if an alien were to visit our planet right now they might just consider cars to be the dominant form of life (The Hitchhiker 's Guide to the Galaxy). There are so many different types, and makes of cars that they can suit any personality in the world.

First, explain the rhetoric used by the creator of the Pontiac Ad. Cite specific examples from the readings and ad as you explain

This shows that millions of people use Geico, which enhances their service reliability and their trustworthiness. Overall, this ad used all the rhetorical appeals to make the audience want to get their car insurance. I do feel like the ad could have used more logos by stating how much they can help save on average. All in all, this ad was very effective. If I had a car, I would get Geico car insurance.

It was the first talking Gecko America had ever seen. The Geico Gecko was a worldwide phenomenon which advertised for Geico's auto mobile insurance starting in 1993. The audience could explain him having “ ..constant good cheer, insatiable need to meet people,...” which any person would love because he resembles a good person who loves their job ( A Word From Our Sponsor ). In 2004, the next catchy advertisement saying came along as “So easy a caveman can do it” ( GEICO History ). People, notably adults, want simple and easy so the advertisement was conformed to that particular audience. Many advertisements, including Gecio’s, use different devices to overall influence and sell their products to a specific market. Geico's advertisements have grabbed the audience's attention for decades, though what about now?

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.

There are many rhetorical tools used in advertising today to grab the readers’ attention. Some of those include, but are not limited to, color, sex, surroundings, and fantasy. All of these tools are used in the advertisement of the MGM Grand that I chose to analyze. MGM Grand has chosen several techniques to help market themselves better to vacationers. It uses visual pictures, inviting colors, and an enticing choice of narrative as its strategy. One of the many things that Vegas has to offer is the chance to get rid of all of your inhibitions and just have fun. Also, the fact that Las Vegas is famous for the saying, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”, sends a message to vacationers

Two commercials were supposed to be found from the Superbowl that were most persuasive when someone watched them. The two commercials that were found most persuasive during the Superbowl was an ad about the Alfa Romeo car company. During this ad it showed the basics of the car and how it worked. It showed The Timeline of the car from way back then to now. The ad showed how reliable their car was. It showed how popular it has been during the timeline of selling their cars. They Showed prices for their cars, and most cars were sold at a reasonable price. These are most of the main reasons why this car ad could be persuasive to most people.

Advertisers show a brand new shiny car with someone driving it looking happy or cool and they are trying to make people think that they will be that with their car. Like the person in the commercial, they are hoping ignorance will come in and people will try to transfer the advertisement to their life. The Lincoln commercials with Mathew McConaughey use this fallacy. They show a cool actor driving a sleek , expensive car wearing a suit and they want audiences to want to be like the famous actor and be cool. The new Honda commercial does something similar in the fact they show people driving their car having the time of their life, having a big grand happy time. Honda wants people to think that they will have that much fun in their car. Making customers want the commercial to transfer to their

(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

Every parent's biggest fear is losing their child, and Nationwide knows that. The popular car insurance company aired their annual super bowl commercial that left viewers feeling as if they had lost a child as well. Nationwide puts in place a scare tactic to leave its viewers fearing that if they don’t purchase this car insurance their children will die too. Advertisers in general use manipulating tactics such as fear, to scare certain groups into buying their products.

Commercial advertisements create a strong presence in the media due to the power of persuading the audience to buy a certain project. The commercial is promoting the use of diet coke and using Taylor Swift to do so. Diet Coke is a sugar free, soft drink that is very popular, it is promoted and distributed worldwide by Coca- Cola. Coca- Cola spends nearly $3.499 billion in advertisements yearly (Investopedia, 2015, 1). This ad catches the eye of the audience with the use of Taylor Swift and the adorable kittens. In this commercial, it is clear that with every sip the pop-culture singer takes of the Diet Coke, more kittens seem to appear in the apartment until the whole apartment becomes invaded with the tiny kittens. This advertisement efficiently delivers the point to the audience during the commercial video by encouraging them to drink their product Diet Coke while trying to increase the consumption of their product, attract more viewers, and sell more of their product.

Over 17 million cars and trucks are sold around the world every year. Amongst the plethora of car companies aiming to convince shoppers that their car is paramount, marketing teams ought to go the extra mile. By developing a persuading advertisement, companies are more likely to sell their products. On February 6, 2011, Volkswagen aired a Superbowl commercial for the first time in over ten years. This commercial would be one that awakens the inner child of millions. By employing pathos, ethos, and logos rhetoric techniques, Volkswagen is able to appeal to consumers in order to sell their new car.

Overall, this commercial might give fathers ideas on what car is the right one for their child. Logos, ethos and pathos can be found in this Super Bowl commercial. Logos and ethos were used to mislead parents to buy the car in the future or in the present.Pathos was used transform feelings to the audience. Also, it would be controversial to say to buy this car because it might not be useful if parents are not able to track down their sons or daughters with a one mile radius or people have to have access through a Smart

For my critiques, I watched several commercials, but I stayed with the Lincoln luxury car. In the Lincoln commercial, it stars Matthew McConaughey, it shows his laid back demeanor as he is driving the Lincoln. The commercials are about Lincoln luxury car, the MKC and Navigator. I like the commercials because he just driving and talking just like a regular guy. In the ad, you don’t hear Matthew selling the car because the car is selling it self. And in one Lincoln commercial it shows him getting ready and driving off in an MKX, he is going to a party and during the whole time there is no talking, just showing him driving the MKC. Another Lincoln commercial, is when he is driving on a long stretch of road, he is quoted saying, and “I’ve been

I thought it was a great idea how marketing integrated the new model with the old model as the commercial continued. I’m not sure the company proved that the new BMW is cost efficient but I did fall in love with the new model. As I listened to the song, with the commercial I was distracted because I could not understand the words. I like a specific genre of music so I was turned off by the song choice initially. But when I read the lyrics, they read as a poem and since I love poems I understood much of the symbolism in the commercial and changed my mind about my initial perception of the commercial. I realized why they used red cars because the lyrics started by saying “the blood is thick” (line 1). The headlights of the vehicles can symbolize the whites of their eyes. It is entertaining when the song and the product can be used in a cohesive manner. I know that the cost of the vehicle deters me from wanting to purchase the product but the vehicle is on my bucket list. I would love to buy something like this when I am
