Advertisements R Us Analysis

Melissa Rubin offers a very insightful analysis on something as simple as a coke ad that appeared in a Coca Cola sponsored magazine. Rubin takes a very cultural stance on her analysis, since the ad was created in such an eventful time in American history. “The ad suggests that Coca-Cola recognized the patriotism inspired by the war and wanted to inspire similar positive feelings about their product.” Rubin uses this timely bit of information about her claims to why the men in military uniforms are places out in front of the ad, and why less important members of society during the time are placed further back, or not pictured at all in the ad. Likewise, Rubin uses evidence regarding the industrial evolution occurring during the time the ad was

In Coca-Cola's 1997 Annual Report, we can see an example of the extent to which multinational corporations dream of market domination and the tactics they would use to achieve it. In the first few pages, one finds a series of two-page, in-house advertisements depicting various scenes from daily life around the world: a group of co-workers sitting down at a break (one of whom is drinking Coke), a water fountain at the Grand Canyon, several women of (supposedly) Chinese ethnicity enjoying each other's company around a cup of tea (with one individual opting instead for Coke). Each image is accompanied by a caption (respectively): "Because they're still called coffee breaks", "Because some fountain drinks are

According to Interbrand, Coca-Cola is the most valued brand in the world. Coca-Cola has good sales performance because it attaches great importance to its products’ advertisements. It placed advertisements in magazines, on TV, in websites, and on street signs. In China, the Coca-Cola Company hired a number of well-known Chinese movie stars and athletes to make commercials for Coke. Coke is a great drink for summer because it is thirst quenching and cool. One of the short commercials was very impressive. A group of teenagers was running on the street, and they were sweating hard. Everyone was tired and thirsty. At this time, a van with a Coca-Cola logo passed by. They recovered their energy by drinking Coke. The whole advertisement focused on the teenagers’ athletic bodies and their expressions of enjoyment. This advertisement showed the advantages of Coke, which are the wonderful taste and the cool refreshment; however, it did not show the disadvantages of Coke including high amounts of sugar, caffeine, and chemical additives. After watching the commercial, people have the desire to buy Coke. As Machiavelli advised, The Coca Cola Company is using cunning to trick customers into drinking their soft drinks by showing only the positive aspects of Coca Cola.

As part of a capitalistic country, advertisements play an important role in business progression and consumer decisions in the United States, due to its aid to consumers to help make a purchase that would, in turn, help businesses and themselves go about their daily lives. With advertisements cleverly materializing on billboards, television, and a myriad of locations on the seemingly infinite space of the Internet, there is bound to be at least one that affects one 's decision-making process either the most or rather significantly. An advertisement that protrudes out into the light of memorable pieces of art, in terms of composition simplicity and personal impact, is an ad for Microsoft 's Windows 7 Operating System, intelligently titled "Life Without Walls". Using Jib Fowles’ Fifteen Basic Appeals, this ad for their personal computer operating system appeals towards the need for guidance, achievement, and the need to escape, while secondarily appealing towards the need for autonomy and to satisfy curiosity in a way that is pristine and superb.

Coca-Cola argues many points in support of its marketing and image. Especially in the years following WWII, Coke has worked hard to present an image associated with having a good time. Since the late 1800s, Coke’s advertising has shown people in beautiful places and in beautiful clothes, having a beautiful time and enjoying their beautiful lives--even in times of war and economic recession. While wars, riots and scandals rage in this country, Coke has been “holding forth to the world a picture of itself as pleasant and rewarding--the kind of place most people would like for it to be” (Watters 216). In Coke’s more recent advertising, Coke continues its image of fun and beauty, showing teens enjoying a sunrise and at a rave dance party in the woods. However, these more current commercials were in response to two other adds that were considered “not funny” and “mean spirited” by public opinion polls (Sampey par 1-4). Those ads showed family members and friends physically fighting with each other because someone had forgotten to bring Coke.

Coca-Cola has often been seen as an escape during the hardships of America. They provided a sense of hope; a false reality in which America was still the land of opportunity. The advertisements helped Americans ignore the harsh “ realities of depression” and embrace the “idealized reality of America”, the America they came to with hope (Coca-cola at home). Coca-Cola was there in the worst of times for Americans to enjoy and pretend nothing was wrong. Some people might say it made Americans ignorant during a time of destruction, but in reality it helped Americans cope with the crushing feeling of economic depression.

While looking through the advertisements on adweek.com, I came across a sexual assault ad that I found both empowering and bold. It’s On Us launched an advertising campaign that showed how two college aged men texted about a potential rape with the autocorrect boxes showing what they actually meant. This advertising campaign is relatable to millennials because it takes place in an IPhone text message chat. This can be touching and hit home for many who have experienced this before. The campaign works to really depict how people say things verse what they mean and this relates to the everyday college student who is constantly on their phone. It’s On Us made the ad both relatable and emotional, which opens the eyes of many college students, and

Since the 1890’s, Coca Cola has been extremely successful, has obtained billions of dollars in profit, and has grown into a huge icon around the world. When the company was founded in Atlanta, Georgia, they have continuously attempted to incorporate American values into their products within their advertisements. In 2008, Coca Cola published an advertisement that reflected American icons throughout the mid-1900s. The purpose of the ad is to show the buyers of this product that Coca Cola will never go out of style because it is seen as a classical icon throughout American history. Through the designer’s choice of text, color scheme, and images, the company portrays itself as an American classic.

Promotional texts are used to enhance a brand or communicate the benefits and associations of that brand to the public.

Transforming from simple TV ads, it integrated a promotion during the summer for Fanta (Coca-Cola to take up aggressive campaign for 'Fanta', 2008). In numerous ‘out-of-home media’ with the plan to ‘connect the youth of nations’, campaign was spread from TV ads, to using cartoon characters and hang out zones. Instead of presenting ideas for commercials without being aware of the trends in the society, Coca-Cola has been a pioneer of the new tendency which suite the community demand. By this way of adapting, the Coke has built up their empire and stood out from among other beverage companies. Also, this helps Coca-Cola create an invisible sustainable link to

The Coca-Cola Company has been able to adapt with the times when it comes to public relations, publicity, and advertising tactics. The company’s tactics has had to evolve over the last century to be able to keep current consumers, and attract new consumers. The key for any company is to be able to adapted to changing technologies and processes. From the beginning, The Coca-Cola Company understood the importance of having a solid brand identity. There isn’t a brand that is more “branded” than The Coca-Cola Company. When people think of Coke, people might think of the color red, the iconic bottle shape, or maybe even polar bears. These easy identifiable symbols that represent Coke, allows the company to build an integrated marketing plan around the iconic symbols.
