Haacht Brewery is an independent and family-owned company based out of Belgium. They also specialize in brewing different types of specialty beers and produce soda and mineral water. One of their largest selling drinks and main brand, Primus, is produced from all natural ingredients. Primus is a pilsner, which is a distinct and unique type of beer. In October 2008, Lew 'LaraTBWA Sao Paulo, an agency in Brazil, released a print advertisement for Primus titled “Ocean”. The advertisement featured a group of young adults on a piece of wood floating in the ocean drinking Primus beer. It also engages in maintaining society 's constructed gender roles, contradictory racist marketing as well as the glorification of alcohol.
In the advertisement, the men are portraying their constructed gender roles. Primus has a specific drinker in mind, someone who has a good sense of who they are and stick to their beliefs. Primus drinkers do not conform to trends and “they follow their own course, arising from their own strength.” (“Primus Haacht”) The company prides itself on being independent and that their drinkers are this as well. Although Primus states that this is the type of drinker they would drink Primus, the advertisement suggests that men only drink Primus. In the ad, only the men are drinking beer. One man is pouring beer, and the other two are holding them in their hands. In society, there is the suggestion that beer is a man 's drink, and this advertisement conforms to that
Steve Craig, in his article Men’s Men and Women’s Women especially define how different sexes in advertisement can influence a particular audience towards a product; one stereotypical method he describes is “Men’s Women” (Craig).One such ad using sex appeal, and a basic structure of “Men’s Women” to bring in customer was made by BMW in 2008 to sell their used cars. BMW, which is a world-renowned company known for its performance heavy automobiles, targets a male audience by comparing a gorgeous woman to their cars.This ad by BMW, who no doubt make amazing cars, degrade women through its message, and it enforces Steve Craig’s “Men’s women” tactic, but this ad also goes a step further and displays the ever-present patriarchy in advertisement overtly.
The advertisement opens with a young man walking through his front door carrying a puppy and saying, “Welcome home buddy.” From there, we watch the two grow up together. They spend their days playing fetch, vacationing, barbecuing and even sleeping together. The two are inseparable until one night when the owner goes out with some friends to have a good time. The camera is focused on the case of beer one of the owner’s friends is holding, implying that the group will be drinking. What happens next is what affects the audience most, giving the commercial its strong pathos. The dog is seen staring out the window, waiting patiently for his best friend to return to him. The waiting continues all night long and Budweiser takes this opportunity to pause from the commercial and display the words, “For some, the waiting never ended. But we can change that.” When the words exit the screen the owner returns to his home, hugs his dog, and says, “Hey! I’m sorry. I decided I shouldn’t drive home last night. I stayed at Dave’s.” The darkness returns to the screen with the words “Make a plan to make it home. Your friends are counting on you.” Budweiser uses these screens to emphasize just how important it is to make it home, adding to its use of caring
The settings of the advertisement, which are a business building, a restaurant, and a street, clearly represent the three different classes of the upper- class, the middle-class and the lower-class. Additionally, women's different types of clothing also represent the different classes. The girl in the business office has worn a well-groomed suit, which suggests that she belongs to the upper-class. Women in the street have worn jeans, which suggests that they belong to the lower-class. The advertainment also sells some messages to the dominant elite with the product. The first message being communicated is that women are products that are meant to be consumed and when a product is bought, women come with the product. The main character in the advertisement has worn a jean and has opened its buttons, which suggests that he is a lower-class person. After he chews the Clorets gum, which is a high-end product, he is considered an upper- class person who attracts all the girls wherever he goes. Women are attracted to him just because of the fresh air created by the gum and before consumption, he could not attract women. Therefore, it is the gum that attracts women, not the guy. The second message of the dominant elite that is communicated to the audience is that women should sell their body to the men. All women in the commercial try different sexy poses in front of the man in the advertisement to attract him. The woman in the
The New Belgium Brewing Company began in a basement, but grew rapidly. In the Beginning they went to beer fests and handed out free samples to get their name out. The New Belgium Brewing Company wanted consumers to engage in contests so they could build a fan base. They had it where consumers could pitch their “Beerdream.” This is when The New Belgium Brewing Company came up with the catch phrase, “What’s your folly?” (Ferrell & Hartline, p.362). As the company expanded, they wanted a more formalized look. With that, several people thought that the word “folly” had too much of a negative connotation for such as high quality beer. On the other hand, the others thought that folly is old enough to give it a new definition since most people do
Belgium is home of the finest ales and have been known to brew for centuries. So when Jeff Lebesch, an electrical engineer from Fort Collins, Colorado took a bicycle trip through Belgium it made him realize there may be a market back home to sell Belgian-style ale. Jeff returned home with hopes to experiment and brew his own beer in his basement from the various ingredients he received on his trip. When his friends approved of the ales he started marketing them to the local town. He later opened New Belgium Brewing Company in 1991. His wife, Kim Jordan was the company’s marketing director. They named their first brew “Fat Tire Amber Ale” after Jeff’s
The commercial portrays two manly men in the masculine environment driving on an all-terrain vehicle in the jungle, battling snakes and shooting lasers to each other. The main idea of the commercial is that used to be feminine diet drink is made by Dr. Pepper “not for women.” The language used in the commercial triggers emotions in younger males saying them
The color scheme choice of this ad creates a positive image that people are attracted to and draws them in by the simplicity of the message behind it, allowing the company’s slogan to stand out. This Kalnapilis beer ad is sharing the message with its consumers get away from the computer and go out for a good time. When people
Michelob is trying to persuade the common active person to have a beer that is not going to intervene with their lifestyle but to incorporate it within their lives. This ad probably doesn't convince a person to drink but maybe to go for a run along the beach or go to the beach with friends, though the rhetorical strategy of the ad is to try and get the consumer who is healthy to enjoy this beer that is low in carbs, calories, and alcohol percentage. With such a light beer consumers will have the impression that they can still have the drink and maintain their fitness goals. Promoting this within the ad allows Michelob to speak to the fit community and persuade them to have this drink as their main choice all the time. The two images are used to compare and contrast the ideas of being fit and healthy and enjoying life while
The commercial shown in figure 1 is for a perfume called ‘the one gentleman’ which Matthew Mcconaughey a well-known actor did for Dolce & Gabbana, a trade mark for designer products. The commercial tells us that this is a body spray to use when one wants to be seen as a gentleman. In reality a gentleman is not a man who just uses this body spray, but a man is seen as a gentleman by certain attributes society sees as being acceptable. Commercials like these can really have an impact because the viewer wants to look like the person with the body spray, and themselves be perceived as a gentleman. The unspoken
The ad is somewhat targeted towards women to buy their partner old spice in order for him to become a man. That is shown when the character states that “Your man can smell like a man if he uses Old Spice” (Old Spice). The sense of domination over the man watching the ad is obvious. The man in the ad is physically fit and shows that through his confidence when he tells the women, who are also watching, to “look back at me” (Old Spice). Following that up with a statement that separates the man in the ad from the man watching claiming that “he is not like me” (Old Spice). Thus leaving the women watching in a desperate state to make their man like the man in the ad. After
Target audience: The commercial is targeted both male and female beer drinkers with decent income (because they can afford to travel to nice beach). They have the need to chuck away worries to live the moment. The commercial is also targeted the critical, peak beer-drinking summer season.
Despite the dominance of Carlsberg, in its annual report BGD could lay claim to being the largest Scandinavian beer exporter. This was because Carlsberg placed emphasis on licensing agreements or local production for its foreign markets, while BGD’s strategy was export led: ‘Eighty-three out of every hundred bottles of beer that we produce are sold in foreign markets.’ By 1995 the percentage of export sales by region of the world was as follows: western Europe 63 per cent, the Americas 10 per cent, eastern Europe 22 per cent, others 5 per cent. The development of BGD’s operations in some of these markets is now reviewed.
Competitive advantage is important in any company’s market structure. A good example of competitive advantage is when a customer asks why he or she should purchase this product over the company’s competitor’s product (Lambardo, 2017). For a company to obtain a substantial competitive advantage, a company has to gain a customer base that trusts their products over their competition’s product. For example, in the beer industry, Anheuser- Busch has created beer products that obtain a strong competitive advantage over their competitors. Budweiser was able to create this competitive advantage because they obtained a strong market structure. Also, there is a huge relation between company brand and competitive advantage (Abbas & Kraidy, 2017). For New Belgium brewing company, the brand and social responsibility are they key competitive advantages.
Representations of men in media have a different approach—they tend to focus on strength, power, physique, independence, etc… The first ad portrays a clearly athletic, strong, male individual. His expression is one of determination and focus—He’s not going to let anyone get in his way. He is aggressive, and overflowing with testosterone. It is unclear what the product is, something to do with athletic performance. The next image is fitted with the caption “Always A Champion”, making it simple to realize this ad is all about the male ego. This man has a very intimidating expression, one of strength and—almost anger. His positioning shows off his clearly muscular arms and his aura is almost overpowering. In both images, the idea that a true man should be strong, aggressive, etc… is presented. For any normal male individual viewing this ad, he would feel like that is what he should be—if he was a “real man”.
Out of four advertisements chosen, two are distinctly for women and two are distinctly for men. It is easy to identify which is which, as everyone has experienced these social expectations that the ads are founded on. For example, the male ad, titled Nivea for Men, is most easily identified as such due to the man used as the model. However, this is not the average male in American society- this is the idealized version that men have become accustomed to viewing, and is therefore
