Ad Analysis

Rhetorical analysis of 7-Up ad 1957 “Youngest Customers in the Business” reads an ad from the Ladies’ Home Journal magazine, published in 1955. Even though the headline might be a bit odd, a person might consider the context and understand why the ad was believable. The 1950s were known to use little kids in print ads. In the ad, 7-Up appeals to reader’s emotions, especially mothers would pause to see what the baby was drinking and if it could benefit them. The advertisement utilizes the three rhetorical appeals of pathos, logos, and ethos through its image and implied meanings, through this, the image is able to convey a vivid sense of nutritional value from drinking a 7-Up.

Some may point out “personality symbol” because of the characters involved and the association between Coca-Cola and Charlie Brown. However, the technique of personality symbol is one that generally sees a specific character attached to the brand in a more long-term manner. Some may argue for “mood or image.” Certainly, with this being an emotional ad, there is a mood/image that is being conveyed. But the best argument is likely for “slice of life.” This problem/solution format shows everyday “people” confronting a problem that is solved by the brand. In this case, the problem is presented by two characters fighting over the beverage. The solution is

Milk is a part of everyday life and the advertisers for Milk show this through modern tactics and popular celebrities. By putting familiar faces on magazine ads and using interesting T.V. commercials, companies sell their products. The ways in which they sell the products is not by just stating that their product is good, they appeal to the human emotions, ethics and most of all what is logical.

Advertisements are everywhere. From billboards, to magazines, to newspapers, flyers and TV commercials, chances are that you won’t go a day without observing some sort of ad. In most cases, companies use these ads as persuasive tools, deploying rhetorical appeals—logos, pathos, and ethos—to move their audiences to think or act in a certain way. The two magazine ads featured here, both endorsing Pedigree products, serve as excellent examples of how these modes of persuasion are strategically used.

In Jib Fowles article, “Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals”, he shows us fifteen ways commercials try to appeal to people around our country. The need for sex, need for affiliation, the need to nurture, need to aggress, need to achieve, need to dominate, need for prominence, need for attention, need for autonomy, need to escape, need for aesthetic sensations, need to satisfy curiosity, and physiological needs.

The main purpose of commercials and advertisements is to persuade the viewer to purchase the product that is advertised, but not all commercials are successful in this endeavor. Companies, such as Budweiser and Kleenex, appeal to the viewers’ ethos, logos, and pathos in order to influence them to buy the advertised product(s). In order to appeal to each of the categories, companies use different tactics to catch viewers’ attention. The use of ethos, logos, and pathos can make or break an advertisement based on how it is being used.

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.
