Advertising In Advertising

The final and the strongest appeal in the advertisement is pathos, the appeal to emotions. Throughout the ad sick children are being shown and getting treated by a doctor or nurse. Showing the family and children laying down on beds who are being diagnosed for cancer. By showing these images the audience feels a sense of loss, fear, pain and grief, even though they do not personally know the children. Also, by not helping these children the audience might feel

The reason for this is that from the advertisement one could sense an appeal to our sense of identity, self-interest and emotions. It added some amount of excitement and humor. A positive image was created from the video about the Papa John’s Pizza and it really made me feel persuaded to buy the pizza.

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 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.

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.

First of all, through the persuasive appeals, the advertisement shows the new mothers the importance of giving their child a companion that will grow old with them.

The psychological appeal for the ad is Logos, an appeal to logic or reason, providing evidence facts and or statistics although the facts can be false. In the ad you hear a voice saying “no food lowers cholesterol more” and that is the “number one seeling plant sterol plant spread in Australia.” While hearing the narrator list off facts you see an animation that shows a diagram of how the spread works showing he butter forming a net and blocking off the cholesterol while a large stamp appears in the bottom corner of the screen reading “clinically proven” while the narrator emphasises reading that line so it stands out and sticks in your memory.

The best and most effective type of advertising is the one that appeals to emotions because it is the visual part of the ad that makes you react on instinct. In the advertisement that I chose, the Bonduelle Food Service company is a company that predominantly sells vegetables. Like any food company out there they want to capture your attention and they want you to choose their food because it is the best and you will not find their product elsewhere.
