Advertising Techniques In Advertising

Ever since the start of commercial radio in the 20’s and the since the first silver screen entered the market, broadcasting messages by celebrities has been a tool employed to endorse products.”Just about every star was associated with one sponsor’s product he or she plugged.”(1). Over the years celebrity endorsement became an essential part of marketing (more than 25% of television ads feature celebrities)(5), for the endorser it became an easy way of generating an income while for the endorsing company it became a guaranteed way to reach a wide segment of potential clients.

We see advertisement everywhere from left right. Ads are seen on devices and while just driving around. Advertisements are used to get people to purchase a product. Got milk “was an American campaign encouraging the consumption of cow’s milk, which was created by the advertising agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners.” Got milk ads have many inspirational celebrities to model their company. Such as famous singers, dancers, athletes, actors, talk show host, and models. I’m analyzing a got milk ad of Hayden Panettiere from 2007. The ad’s strategy is to show how each celebrity drinks milk. The ad plays an audience towards teens, both boys and girls by offering them to choose a healthy lifestyle. By choosing a healthy lifestyle, teens

Commercials are a main component in advertising which allow businesses to have the ability to attract a multitude of buyers throughout various media outputs. It possesses such a powerful mass media to attract viewer’s attention, knowing all company brands attempt to make consumers buy what they are selling and endorse their product. Without a

Advertisements are everywhere; while driving you may see them on a billboard, while watching tv, looking through your phone, and even while watching your favorite youtuber. Advertisements have been around so long that the techniques behind them are down to a science. Advertisements have been around for so long that they are as apart of our culture as much as television or music. Many times, advertisements will use certain strategies in order to sell their product. The most common being Aristotle’s three modes of persuasion ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos is an appeal to someone’s ethics, their character, it is used to convince the audience of the author’s credibility. The third appeal, pathos, is an appeal to the audiences’ emotion. These strategies have been proven to work very well, so what if an advertisement implemented many of these strategies and still received backlash or wasn’t well received. Well, Pepsi found themselves in that position with their advertisement featuring Kendall Jenner. The advertisement used appeals to pathos, ethos, and even implemented many parts of North American culture, so why did it receive so much backlash? By analyzing pathos, and ethos, I will determine why it received much backlash despite having everything a commercial should.

Thus, by creating appeals to logos, pathos, and ethos, companies use advertisements as powerful persuasive tools. This can be done through the careful selection of color, imagery, narration, design, and layout, to name a few significant elements. When used correctly, these rhetorical strategies can make the difference between whether a product or idea is embraced or rejected by the

What captures the attention of people when they view an advertisement, commercial or poster? Is it the colors, a captivating phrase or the people pictured? While these are some of the elements often employed in advertising, we can look deeper and analyze the types of appeals that are utilized to draw attention to certain advertisements. The persuasive methods used can be classified into three modes. These modes are pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos makes an appeal to emotions, logos appeals to logic or reason and ethos makes an appeal of character or credibility. Each appeal can give support to the message that is being promoted.

Advertisements come in various shapes, sizes, and mediums, and as humans, we are constantly surrounded by them. Whether they are on TV, radio, or in a magazine, there is no way that we can escape them. They all have their target audience for whom the advertisers have specifically designed the ad. When a company produces a commercial, their main objective is to get their product to sell. This is a multibillion-dollar industry and the advertisers study all the ways that they can attract their audience’s attention. The producers of advertisements have many tactics and strategies they use when producing an ad to get consumers to buy their product. These include things such as rhetorical

It is not uncommon to see celebrities on TV market in other products, author Sue Jozui has other opinions. Author Sue Jozui in her excerpt, explains her view that there should be rules for celebrities endorsing other products and being misleading. The author supports her opinion by first explaining about how a celebrity may advertise a coffee, or a brand of car. She continues by arguing that advertisements are misleading. The author´s purpose is to draw awareness to this issue and wanting a prompt change so that new rules can be put in place to regulate the marketing and advertising industry. The author sets an informative tone for the consumer. The argument Sue Jozui, the author is making is that she believes there should be rules on celebrity endorsements, however the consumer may disagree because they have the power to buy the product.

Celebrities can have significant influence in commercials because people are going to more likely follow them due to his or her fame and/or popularity. For example, John Cena, a famous WWE wrestler advertised for a brand of garbage bags known as “Hefty Ultra Strong” garbage bags. The message in the commercial is that these Hefty brand garbage bags are mighty, strong, durable, and can withstand a lot of weight, like John Cena, not to mention these bags are low priced. As a result, many people may more likely buy Hefty brand garbage bags due to the commercial saying that they can hold more garbage than any other garbage bag without ripping or tearing.

The emotional ads are used to influence the consumer’s behavior through humor or anything that shows positive affect towards the brand’s attributes (Murray, 2013). In image ad, the advertisers are more focused on creating a mental picture of a product that consumer can associate themselves with certain lifestyles or values. And in endorsement ads, the advertisers introduced their brand by aligning it with someone famous or an expert in their field. Such as, celebrities, athletics or doctors. By applying or attaching endorsement, it can enhanced the brand’s recognition, appeal and credibility (Iacobucci, 2013).

Furthermore there are other researches as well which suggest that the approach of using a celebrity to endorse a product can not be viewed as a general practice of using any celebrity for any product endorsement. Pornpitakpan (2003), while discussing match-up hypothesis, describes the results of a study by Erdogen et al (2001) which suggests that "British advertising agency managers considered various criteria like celebrity- target audience match, celebrity-product match, overall image of the celebrity, cost of hiring the celebrity, celebrity trustworthiness, controversy risk, celebrity familiarity, celebrity prior endorsements, celebrity likeability, risk of celebrity overshadowing the brands, celebrity expertise, celebrity profession and celebrity physical attractiveness". A match between the target market and the endorser is important for effectively transmitting right message to target audience. For example, the advertisements which are produced by Pepsi, are mostly targeted for youths and so the celebrity endorsers that they use in their advertisements are young personalities. The match up hypothesis goes true for the multiple celebrity advertising as well. A good example of this is the Pulse Polio campaign taken up in India to eradicate the polio

Adidas, the brand with the three stripes, has to be a brand that is well sought after by consumers. The company has been established since 1949 in Herzogenaurach, Germany (Adidas-Group), however, the brand has soared in the past couple of months. This is because Adidas has recently paired up to collaborate with well known western musicians, like Kanye West and Pharell Williams. That is not to say that Adidas has never collaborated in the past, in fact the brand is known to be one of the biggest companies to collaborate with artists (Adidas-Group). These artists includes Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto, Raf Simons, etc. However, Adidas has climbed up to the top as a result of their collaboration and marketing strategy with hip-hop rapper Kanye West. It is the brand’s encoding of the music/rap culture and idolizing West, which is the very reason their profit has skyrocketed. Adidas has encoded their products to shape its consumers to become, or to feel as if they are Kanye West himself with their newest sneaker called the “Yeezys.”

Defined as any paid form of communication by an identified sponsor, advertising dominates a huge part of our daily lives. Living in such a consumer driven economy means that we deal with subliminal and up front messages pushing us to “ buy, buy, buy”, countless times throughout our day. Most of these messages are sent by identified sponsors including major corporations like Wal-Mart, as well as smaller run businesses. No matter the size, all modern day businesses employ workers to
