Essay on Dove Case Study

One of the many consequential changes that has occurred that is often forgotten and underestimated is the incipient role of men in today's society. Men are different than those of the 20th century, but differing in a vigorous and bolder way. Before, men viewed strength as something you could physically obtain by bring home the money, doing labor work, or having muscles. However, the meaning behind “strength” would change over the course of a new era. The new face of men was ignored until Dove released it’s Men+Care products in 2010. Dove was commonly known for launching campaigns to avail women’s self esteem, helping them to realize their own value, until their 2015 “Real Strength” Super Bowl commercial aired to 114 million viewers. Rather than making another commercial about female products, they introduced a new line of men products which followed the previous ones released in 2010. The new campaign slogan being “Care Makes a Man Stronger”, summarized our modern day man in 60 seconds. The 60 second commercial shows men interacting with their children throughout the

The objective of this campaign was to get their customers to buy Dove over another brand but the claim was to prove that all women are uniquely beautiful in their own ways.

After this appearance, they begin taking pictures and select one that meets their standard. But they’re not done yet, they take that picture and photo shop it. They change the size of her neck, face, and make her skin look smoother than ever. This shows how companies can use any image and change it into something totally different from the natural self. The product who is a gorgeous model appears nothing like the average woman they showed in the beginning of this commercial. This is called the compare and contrast method, a strategy Dove used the most to show the differences and similarities of something. They first show a natural woman and then after editing, they showed a completely fake person because it looks nothing like the original. Companies who do this deceive society just to gain their revenue but the sad thing is they don’t care

In the past, skin care products only belong to the girls’ world. Nevertheless, in recent years, men are increasingly becoming more and more concerned about skin care. With a view to this latest trend, various brands have started developing men’s line. Income level directly affects the purchasing power of customers. Skin care products take up a wide range of price levels from far less than a hundred dollars to more than a thousand. Young girls who do not have any income cannot afford the expensive skin care products while mature women with higher purchasing power focus more on quality and effectiveness.

Unilever, the maker of Dove, have really put themselves in it, so to speak. And there is no shortage of contrition:

Sissela Bok is focused on truth and provides three different steps to see if a choice is ethical. The first is to consult one’s conscience (Patterson & Wilkins, 2014). Since Dove is a company and not a single individual, one has to place themselves in their place of Dove. Is presenting a more honest version of woman an adequate and ethical marketing ploy? Most likely. However, is this campaign done with the knowledge of the products being sold? The majority of Dove products are hair products, body wash, and antiperspirants. Yes, they do sell firming skin cream, but these are not generally being advertised in this campaign. The real beauty
