Advertisement Analysis : Budweiser 's Advertisement

The second way in which this commercial uses pathos is through its use of families. Family is supposed to be people that you love and care about that want the best for you. They are supposed to be supportive and influence you to do positive things. To many people, family is the most important thing to them. So, when advertisements use them they attack the audience’s emotions. There were multiple families in the advertisement. There were families involved in the accident as well as a family who witnessed the car accident. All of their lives were changed over a text. The families having to go through this causes strong emotion for the audience. According to a study done by Aaker, “In advertising, warmth

is also a great example of pathos. Having a happy song in the background brings more to the commercial as a hard core rock song would change the entire mood of the commercial. The ethos in the commercial is the happy family dressed up in all the bottles. Heinz was smart when it came to choosing who would be wearing the costumes. If they would’ve chosen bearded old guys it would have changed the outlook of the commercial, but thankfully they used a happy family which is their main target audience. Logos, meaning logic, is having the dogs running in the field in the mountains.

Budweiser is known for creating advertisements that convey messages that you wouldn’t otherwise tie with beer. In one of their more popular commercials “Lost Dog”, they attempt to show that your “buds” will always have your back, just as Budweiser will always be there for you. Budweiser managed to relate this life lesson to their notable company and a wide-range of viewers. In the “Lost Dog” commercial they successfully persuade viewers to buy their beer with the use of rhetorical appeals including ethos and pathos, while also lacking in the third appeal logos.

The Charity: Water Campaign, the creators of this ad, utilize the three rhetorical appeals to promote donations for clean water. Pathos is the first rhetorical appeal the audience will see in the "Charity Water: Imagine" ad. Pathos is used to appeal to readers', or in this case viewers', emotions. There are many emotions the creators of this ad could manipulate but the main two seen here are compassion and fear.

The company wants people to know that your “Best Buds” or your best friends, will always be there for you in times of trouble, or, perhaps, when a wolf is trying to kill you. Using animals is a very strategic way to appeal to almost everyone. Using baby animals, like the puppy, is even better. Budweiser doesn’t mention beer once during this whole advertisement which actually assists the effectiveness instead of hurting it. If they would’ve shown the owner drinking beer while his puppy was gone it would’ve unintentionally associated alcohol with sadness. Even if people DO drink alcohol or even Budweiser when they are in emotional distress, showing it during this commercial could’ve quite possibly had a very negative impact with the audience, maybe even affecting them subconsciously. Instead, Budweiser creates an innocent story about a puppy with absolutely nothing to do with beer. Perhaps this may cause the audience to associate this particular alcohol with innocence or harmlessness.

The commercial had the power to make people feel emotions such as sadness, preoccupation, stress, and happiness. The first use of pathos occurs when the dog gets lost. Budweiser appealed to the emotional sensibility of their viewers. For example, when the dog had to face the wolf the audience could feel the stressful and fearful situation the poor dog was on. Since the dog had not done anything wrong, the audience viewed the puppy as a victim. Additionally, the commercial sets an emotional appeal through the music that is playing in the background. The song that is played is an acoustic cover of “I would walk 500 miles” by The Proclaimers. When the dog gets lost, the lyrics that are played are “...when I go out, yeah I know I am going to be the man that goes along with you” (0:20-0:30). This definitely goes along with the gloomy mood the commercial is trying to set at that moment because the dog is trying to go home. The story of this dog’s struggles and friendship was more effective than Budweiser just stating that beer can be shared with your friends. Budweiser used pathos to truly support their claim and did not use it as a distraction from the main issue, which is friendship and their

Because the advertisement was aired five months after the September 11 incident, there were intense emotions among the American citizens. Budweiser was aware of this and created a commercial with strong emotional appeals. With pathos loaded, the advertisement seems to appeal to the viewer’s emotional senses. In the beginning, a character in the form of a man is fascinated by the horses. The image of the horses is reflected in the glasses of the windows. Business takes place in this area, but he takes a break from all the activities to watch the passing horses because of the awe factor that the Clydesdales stimulates. Thus, as an audience, I will resonate with the man by showing the same reaction. The behaviors of the man are expected to the audience how they should react as well. They are expected to stop every activity they were performing and understand the powerful message conveyed by the majestic creatures.

In this rhetorical analysis, the value of uniqueness and the use of flavors are expressed in an ad by Dr. Pepper, a well-known and popular company. These values are found within the appeals of logos, pathos, and ethos.It also states the history of how this soft drink was created, the creator, and the year it was created. Logos is expressed when the brand states that it contains 23 flavors and also includes an image of a bottle with the number 23 as well with other phrases. Pathos is used in the ad when the company states that no other drink has these flavors, which means the drink is unique, targeting the audience and persuading them to be special and different. Lastly, ethos is used by us knowing the history behind the 23

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.

Logos, pathos, and ethos are three Greek, ancient rhetorical arguments that are used frequently in today’s society. Advertisement are common used methods to persuade their potential customers to buy or support their product or idea. For example, skincare companies use proven facts to convince their customers that if they use their product, then their skin will look younger or feel younger; this is a form of logos, a term that refers to the use of logic and reason to support one's ideas. Instead of using facts to persuade people, pathos relies on appealing to a person's emotion. An example for pathos is NASAP, the animal rescue program. They intentionally show emotional images that are designed to elicit an emotion from the viewers; their use

Between the years of 1994 and 2011, over half a million fatal car accidents occurred due to a driver whom was “minimally buzzed”. The phrase, “minimally buzzed” is used to describe a driver who has a blood alcohol concentration of 0.01. Moreover, an adult in New Jersey whom is twenty one years or older must stay below the legal limit of 0.08. Thus, while a “minimally buzzed” individual may not breaking the law, he or she dramatically increases the chances of causing a fatal car accident with each additional drink he or she consumes prior to getting behind the wheel. To further emphasis the argument that buzzed driving can have the same effects as drunk driving, the company Ogilvy & Mather published a visual advertisement. The argument is based

Six seconds. That is the length in time someone will read a billboard. An advertising medium that does not carry the same weight that it us to. Especially when a boring billboard will just be ignored. A billboard needs to be smart enough to grab someones attention, as well as leave a lasting impression. Driving eastbound on Interstate 8 in Southern California, one billboard is trying to accomplish just that. A chicken billboard. The chicken in question, belonging to the company behind Chick-fil-A. On its most basic level, this ad is a simple one. It is predominantly a white background with black text and a red Chick-fil-A logo. Which at first glance does not seem all that appealing or interesting. But on a second glance, the viewer can notice

People are naturally attracted to people and friendships. If someone is alone or unaccompanied by another person, then they feel awkward and out of place. It is how people are meant to feel. It is an instinct. Yet, when people do have great friends and people in their lives they don’t realize what they have until it is gone. People need to treasure and embrace friendships before it is too late. Budweiser perfectly creates this feeling in a one minute commercial. Although Budweiser is a beer company, I argue that the advertisement effectively convinces the audience to cherish friendships through the use of logos, ethos, and pathos.

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.

Smoking tobacco has been a part of American culture since its very conception. Throughout our history, tobacco has been advertised as a simple pleasure for those who seek it out. Whether you are sitting on the porch with a couple of friends or in a dimly lit jazz club, tobacco ads give off a false sense of comfort, power, and success. Until around the mid-1900’s, smoking cigarettes was not considered unhealthy. It was only later that the public realize the detrimental health consequences that came with smoking tobacco. To spread this information, specific advertisements were aired to help inform the public of the dangers of smoking. While these ads have changed over time, the same message and warning still remains evident.
