Coca Cola Commercial, Brotherly Love, Aired During Super Bowl 50

The Coca-Cola commercial, “Falling,” illustrates a rhetoric marketing image between two shy teenagers at an amusement park. The shy teenage boy exchanges a timid smile to the girl after getting a Coke from the Coca-Cola vending machine. The boy looks for confidence in his Coke and sits on the same bench as the girl, who is also drinking a Coke. Once the boy sits down, the music changes to the chorus “I was falling for you” and the couple is pictured on a roller coaster, swinging, eating popcorn, drinking Coke with

In the reading Advertisements R Us, Melissa Rubin expands upon her analysis of Coca-Colas’ 1950 magazine advertisement, and brings many points to light about how the company uses cleverly crafted advertising tactics to appeal to a specific group of Americans. By clearly communicating her evidence to back up the analysis of the advertisement, Ruben composes a thoughtful and persuasive paper. For example, Rubin explains how simple details, such as the use of their slogan on the vending machine pictured which reads “Drink Coca-Cola - Work Refreshed”, and the placement of “Sprite Boy” in the ad, all work together to send a message that makes consumers want to buy their product. Consequently, because of the evidence presented in her writing, Rubin has crafted a paper that I find logical and persuasive.

For this essay I will be using the commercial made by Budweiser for the 2015 Super Bowl, “Lost Dog.” This advertisement is about a tiny lost puppy getting far away from home and most importantly, the friendship between this puppy and some Clydesdale horses. In the beginning of this commercial, the puppy is shown hiding under some hay, and then he proceeds to jump into a random trailer which initially gets him lost far from home. There is no dialogue in this commercial aside from the music in the background, but the advertisement shows the distress of the owner through facial expressions and scenes where he puts

In her article “Advertisements R Us,” Melissa Rubin notes that Coke’s message in the ad she analyzes is that “Coke will refresh and unite working America” (249). Her evidence for this is based on several things—for instance, right in the middle of ad sits a large Coke machine and the bottom of the ad explicitly states, “A welcome host to workers—Inviting you to the pause that refreshes with ice-cold Coca-Cola” (249). She concludes her article with the insight that “Coke ads helped shape the American identity,” pointing to the underlying message of the ad that Coke can provide the carefree, joyful life it never fails to portray in its ads to everyone who takes a sip (250).

Do you ever watch the Super Bowl for its commercials? Have you ever bought a more expensive product because you had seen its advertisement? If the answer is yes, then you might have been a victim of today’s marketers. Jean Kilbourne, the author of “Killing us Softly” stated in one of her lectures, “The influence of advertising is quick, cumulative and for the most part, subconscious, ads sell more products.” “Advertising has become much more widespread, powerful, and sophisticated.” According to Jean Kilbourne, “babies at six months can recognize corporate logos, and that is the age at which marketers are now starting to target our children.” Jean Kilbourne is a woman who grew up in the 1950s and worked in the media field in the 1960s. This paper will explain the methods used by marketers in today’s advertising. An advertisement contains one or more elements of aesthetics, humor, and sexual nature.

The actor of Jason in Friday the 13 was too nice of a guy so they wasn’t sure he would be able to pull of the characters role of James in the film but he proved them otherwise. Fridays the 13th used more of pathos while the Hershey commercial showed more pathos while it attracted the entire family by using all 3 of the rhetorical triangle. Pathos appeals and play on your emotional connection the audience can connect themselves with commercial by visualizing how they would react to a certain situation. For Friday the 13th the pathos plays on the feeling of fear, thrill and curiosity. At 1:07-1:08 of the commercial it shows a white and black clip of a woman screaming with no sound but fast music playing.

The Superbowl is one of the most widely watched television events in the nation every year. Unlike many other sporting events, the Superbowl is not watched by fans of the sport alone, but by just about anyone with access to a television. Growing up, my brother was the only avid sports fan in the house, but every year the whole family would crowd around the TV to watch The Superbowl. My brother excluded, we did this not out of real interest for the sport of Football, but because we wanted to see all of the brand new (and hopefully emotionally arousing) commercials that air during the Superbowl. Through the years, the Superbowl has actually become known for this aspect. Recently certain websites have even began holding an annual ranking for the best and worst Superbowl commercials each year. Though I wasn’t particularly interested in the Superbowl last year, one commercial still stands out to me almost eight months later. It is a commercial for nflshop.com, and it seems to convey the story of a family that begins as Vikings fans but over time expands into a family of Vikings, Bengals, Eagles, Steelers, and Cowboys fans. Depending on the viewer’s perspective on the commercial, in its short 30-second duration the advertisement either tells the story of a touching progressive family molded by life experiences or of a very noncommittal family with various impractical team affiliations. Either by alienation or affection the commercial conveys a very

It’s the little things that matter. At least that’s what Wrigley gum company wants us to believe. A commercial first launched on Valentine’s day, the sappy, yet charming, Extra Gum commercial “The Story of Sarah and Juan” is a commercial like no other. The commercial begins as a flashback to a high school relationship. From the first day the couple meets, the commercial met the needs of the audience rhetorically by using the three major components of rhetoric--ethos, pathos, and logos. “The Story of Sarah and Juan” effectively gets an emotional reaction out of its audience by using these rhetorical elements to link Extra Gum to a memorable connection. Not just any connection, true love that can withstand anything. A company that magically

The advertisement begins with flashing screens of hateful messages on the internet. It shows people’s reactions to these messages and how they handle them. These “plain folk” people are distraught and angry over the hateful and discouraging words. While a Coca Cola worker is in a technology room, he spills his bottle of Coca Cola on the machines. Sparks start to fly from the machine and something is shooting through the cords of the internet everywhere. The sparks seem to create the Coca Cola logo on all electronic screens around the world. All of a sudden, hateful messages on phone screens turn into encouraging ones, and upset people start seeing encouraging and happy messages around the city. A social media post to a young boy that says “no one likes you” suddenly turns into an encouraging post that says “there’s no one like you #makeithappy” (“Coca-Cola Super Bowl”). The teenage

Throughout society, advertisements have been known to be found everywhere. They encourage people to purchase products by showing symbols that represent a certain type of quality and so forth. There is such a variety of ads today, but print advertisements have been very potent, since the print, color, text, and photography found in them lure attention and intensify the visual presentation of that particular product. In this case, two advertisements created by Budweiser in 1962 have exhibited men with beer having a good time with themselves. However, there is more than just laughter in the two that make these two ads look and feel effective enough to buy because of the many differences, but also similarities, to put into greater depth of American

The commercial also incorporated a presentation of the country's varying sprawling landscapes and metropolitan areas, along with Americans of different ethnicities, races, and families partaking in real life activities. With these elements: a patriotic song, playing on emotion, and an invocation of profound imagery, we see several of the tactics mentioned in both articles tackled in Coke's commercial. So why did Coca Cola receive such monumental uproar, if it made use of some of the fifteen basic appeals that make ads effective?

Muhammad Ali has said: “Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything” (Edberg). Friends are the ones who accompany the longest time with us throughout our whole lives, except our families. Budweiser, as one of the best-selling beer company in the United States, is famous for its Super Bowl commercial each year. In 2015, they created a commercial called “Lost Dog”. The development of the story interacted with friendship. This rhetorical analysis essay will analyze how the visual scenes are revealed to connect the friendship to the theory of the brand as well

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. Coca- Cola spends nearly $3.499 billion in advertisements yearly (Investopedia, 2015, 1). This ad catches the eye of the audience with the use of Taylor Swift and the adorable kittens. In this commercial, it is clear that with every sip the pop-culture singer takes of the Diet Coke, more kittens seem to appear in the apartment until the whole apartment becomes invaded with the tiny kittens. This advertisement efficiently delivers the point to the audience during the commercial video by encouraging them to drink their product Diet Coke while trying to increase the consumption of their product, attract more viewers, and sell more of their product.

Despite its relation to obesity and other health risk, soda still remains as a popular beverage in the United States, and upon other demographic groups. Amongst the lineup of refreshments, Pepsi and Coca-Cola are the most leading carbonated cola beverage brands around the world. Pepsi and Coca-Cola had been rivals when introduced respectively in the 1900s, trying to dominate the carbonated soft drink market. Through print ads and video ads, both brands were undergoing global advertising war trying to dominate each other. Between the two brands, Coca-Cola seem to be superior to Pepsi due to it’s creative advertisements that grabs consumer’s attention. Coca-Cola portrays rhetorical strategies within the advertisement to catch the audience’s attention by using ethos, pathos, and logos.

The Coca Cola company has promoted a new campaign launch to help catch consumer’s attention. From 1886 to 2016 Coca Cola has been a well-known soft drink. The campaign launch “Share a Coke with a Friend” that was released in 2014 had grabbed consumer’s attention tremendously. The new campaign was targeting everyone. The Coca Cola company knew they needed to create a campaign that would make an impression on the newer generation. The “Share a Coke with a Friend” Campaign was an interesting approach that made a tremendous change in the Coca Cola advertisement industry. The new ad had drawn in even more consumers.
