Compare And Contrast Allstate And State Farm

GEICO, the Government Employees Insurance Company, and Esurance Insurance Services, Inc are two auto insurance based in the United States. In their advertisement, GEICO features a piglet, Maxwell, attempting to obtain a driver’s license from a snarky old clerk using the insurance information on his phone. On the other hand, Esurance depicts an elderly woman, Beatrice, in the process of showing her friends her “wall”when, in good faith, her friends corrects her, causing Beatrice to “unfriend” her. GEICO and Esurance, in attempts of persuasion, use pathos, ethos, and logos to sell their product

Advertisements posted on the website facesofdrunkdriving.com share multiple stories of people who were unexpectedly struck by drunk drivers. There was one story in particular that stood out to me more than the others and that was Jacqueline Saburido’s. This advertisement makes a powerful statement about how drunk driving can not only kill someone, but can also scar someone for life. The goal of the organization that posted this advertisement is to never drink and drive. It is not worth risking your life, someone else’s life, or putting anyone at risk of lifelong hardships and injuries. They present

In order to connect to audience emotionally, both of these commercials incorporate the exaggeration of a particular situation to ignite humor and laughter among the audience. In the Allstate commercial, a man is holding onto the side of a car to portray the driver’s blind spot, telling the driver that the coast is clear. Suddenly, a truck comes out of nowhere, causing an accident. This is humorous because the sight of the man hanging on the side of the vehicle, acting as the blind spot, provides an exaggeration that causes the audience to laugh (“Blind Spot Commercial | Allstate Mayhem” Internet). This displays the danger of driving in order to catch the audience’s attention. In the State Farm

Commercials, such as the 2012 Chevy Silverado Super Bowl commercial, have become part of people’s everyday life, constantly shocking, exciting, and engaging people with the meaning behind them. People see commercials every time they turn on the TV and file the information away for later situations, such as information about a cell phone data plan or a new vehicle just announced available. Each commercial watched promotes some sort of cause, object, or idea that companies want to sell to the common person. Commercials use symbolism, imagination, ethics, logic, and emotion to sell these things using their promoting techniques, one strong example of these things in action being the 2012 Chevy Silverado Super Bowl commercial.

playing dangerous roles in movies and TV series, plays the a version of “mayhem.” Allstate is notorious for their commercials showing accidents involving multiple vehicles, but with this new series of commercials they choose a fresh approach. Although he’s dressed like a man, and sports a bandage over his black eye, Dean Winters portrays a “typical teenage girl” as he drives through a mall parking lot and receives a text from his “best friend forever” that leaves him “emotionally compromised.” Winters, driving a pink car, hits another parked car in the

In commercials for insurance agencies I have noticed a reoccurring theme. They will show you the very thing you would want protection from. They use fear to lure you into buying insurance from their agency. This happens in Allstate’s line of “mayhem like me” commercials.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company’s Super Bowl advertisement, “#makesafehappen” released on February 1st, 2015, has received negative attention because of its morbid yet practical depiction of a young boy who has passed away due to a “preventable accident” before experiencing the life in which a teen or young adult would otherwise. The advertisement also uses the death of a young child to appeal to parents; especially the mothers, largely using pathos to raise awareness of deadly accidents which could otherwise be preventable. Logos and ethos, although weak in this advertisement, also raises awareness on preventing avoidable accidents.

The two car commercials have a humorous pathos to entertain the viewers. The Subaru commercial has a little kid doing typical adult things and examples how frustrating the adult life is. During the

Each year numerous lives are lost due to careless and irrational driving. The disregard for safe driving has been a predicament to the United States of America for years. Many years Police have relied heavily on speed cameras, breathalyzer tests and heavy fines as a deterrent against unlawful drivers. Over the years fatality rates have increased, so the Department of Transportation and Highway Safety has composed a series of safe driving campaigns. On many occasions the Transportation Department informs and advises the public about the importance of responsible driving. They propagate safe driving through the various channels of the media and

This is shown by them starting the commercial out like an action movie and the big fight scene between the spy and the bad guy.

Today, advertising is as much a part of our lives as breathing. Whether we’re driving, listening to the radio, or watching T.V we are constantly being bombarded by thousands of companies telling us why we should buy their products or services.

Because auto insurance is a requirement for every single individual who owns a vehicle it is a very competitive market where various ad campaigns can be found. State Farm stands out amongst

Each and every person that can drive qualifies for car insurance, therefore, qualified to become a GEICO customer. The commercial is made very appealing by the humor it uses to target a wide range of viewers (Creativity, 2014). GEICO makes a mistake by assuming that by using a scenario where Pinocchio is lying and his nose magically elongates will relate to saving 15% percent of the car insurance. The simple motto of the car insurance company is being able to save fifteen percent or even more on car insurance. This idea of saving fifteen percent was the only thing the insurance company tried to prove to its audience. The insurance company is reiterating it was a reality when it comes to saving money with GEICO (Creativity, 2014). No one dared to ask to Pinocchio, so why would even think to question GEICO. Since the commercial looks unrealistic, this showed that the company failed when it came up with these
