D’Andra Dillon Amy Fleming ENGL-1025-I02 17 September 2017 Rhetorical Analysis Essay Coca-Cola has been around for 125 years with the same logo, taste, and design. Making it one of the most recognizable brands in the world. Coca-Cola’s “Mean Joe Greene” commercial was an iconic Super Bowl XIV commercial in 1980. In this commercial, their goal was to persuade the audience that a bottle of coke can bring happiness and a smile. By choosing a notorious football icon, Mean Joe Greene, to play the mean guy was a great choice. Mean Joe Greene is a hall of fame defensive end football player from the 1970’s. He was known for his temper and cruelty on the field. Thus, the name Mean Joe Greene. He was an excellent football player which is why people loved and still love him till this day. By using all three rhetorical concepts, logos (appealing to reasoning), pathos (appealing to emotion), and ethos (appealing to credibility), Coke creates a motto that persuades its audience to “Have a Coke and a Smile”. The commercial starts out with Mean Joe Greene limping off the field from a well-played game. As he is heading towards the locker room he is followed by a young boy holding a coke bottle. The boy asks if he needs any help and Greene responds by saying no. This leaves the boy feeling sad because his favorite player just turned him down. But the kid persists by telling him he thinks he’s the best ever. Greene just responds yeah…sure. The boy then asks Greene if he wants his coke.
When it comes to disputes on executive sales, companies prefer to keep the war on paper, but regardless, the battle can get quite intense. Ira C. Herbert is a representative for Coca-Cola while R.W. Seaver represents the Grove Press Company. Both employees send letters in order to dispute over the usage of the catch phrase “It’s the Real Thing.” Each representative addresses his reasoning behind why each respective company has the right to the use of the phrase. To persuade one another, the use of rhetorical strategies is apparent throughout each letter. Whereas, Mr. Seaver’s letter is straightforward and sarcastic, Ira C. Herbert’s response is more persuasive due to its use of evidence in justifying Coca Cola’s priority in the use of the slogan.
The two ads that I am comparing are two completely different ads for Coca-Cola. Just at a quick glance, I think that it is pretty obvious which ad is generated towards which subculture of sex. There are more subliminal aspects of each ad that you can look at specifically to confirm the sex of each ad. One thing that Coke has always done is create simple, clean, and unique ads that are easy to read and understand the message behind it. Coke has always found ways to target their customers individually and this is another great example.
Within society power struggles are inevitable and in the business world it is no different. The letters of correspondence between an executive of the Coca-Cola Company, Ira C. Herbert and a representative of Grove Press, Richard Seaver express their different viewpoints on the use of Coca-Cola’s slogan “It’s the Real Thing”, in an advertisement promoting Diary of a Harlem Schoolteacher by Jim Haskins. Both Herbert and Seaver attempt to out smart each other through their use of rhetorical techniques and strategies.
