Marketing Analysis : Maybelline 's Ad

The first ad I chose was Lucky Strike Cigarette poster and it is a vintage cigarette ad from the 1950’s. I believe the audience of this ad is for everyone both male and female in their late 20’s and

Advertisements have become a huge part of society in the modernized world of today. Around the world, many people can see all of the various advertisements not only on TVs and newspapers but also on billboards, buses, and walls of buildings. Advertising is an influential part of life and we can easily realize that it has useful purposes for public and private manufacturers and companies throughout the world. Advertisements can either give consumers a great amount of knowledge about the products or just convince them to buy and want the products. Advertisements also help sell the products which keep the economy growing, but people should also be aware of how much they spend because they may not actually need every product that they see that they want to purchase. In the Daisy by Marc Jacobs’s perfume advertisement, the artist uses many different techniques to emphasize the advertisement. Some of the different techniques that the artist uses are color, symbolism, and composition.

Advertising is everywhere, it’s online, billboards, magazines, and the most popular television. Different advertising are mostly targeting towards a certain gender, age, or interests. Covergirl advertising is mostly targeted at women, and is also seen in every place you can think of. You most likely could go up to any girl and ask her-what is the Covergirl slogan? Easy, Breezy, Beautiful, Covergirl. Covergirl has done a great job at advertising there make-up products. Covergirl has branched out to every type of advertising there is. They have commercials, bill boards, online ads, there in many magazines, and they are also being promoted on the poplar show America’s Next Top

Gender role bias in advertisements has been so prevalent for so long that the untrained eye wouldn't even discern it. All the same, these biases, for the most part, put women in subordinate positions and men in dominant ones. This assumption on both the genders is unfair and demeaning. These ads portray women as subservient and play toys for men. Not only do the models depict an image nowhere near close to reality, but their bodies are scantily clad and what few clothes they are wearing are very revealing.

The first ad is for nail polish from Maybelline. To persuade us they used a few things that the nail polish does to make it more “desireable”. For example, they say that the nail polish “bends with your nails, absorbs the knocks, and resists chipping for up to seven day”. The reason that this ad is good at persuading someone to buy this product is because people want to have that type of reassurance for that product and that is what they got from this ad. The reason that this ad is more fit toward ethos

Rhetorical Analysis The image that I chose was an image of Kylie Jenner makeup. The overall effect of the ad is flawless beauty. Her skin tone is perfect; her hair is laying perfectly; her eyebrows are arched to perfection; she has long lush eyelashes; perfectly highlighted face; and perfect plump lipstick lips. The thing that catches my attention is the flawlessness of her face, there’s absolutely nothing that’s not gorgeous about her makeup. Her face is dead centered of the page and you see nothing but her face and hair in the picture.

Every day we all pass hundreds of different advertisements. Advertisements are viewed in magazines, on the internet, on billboards, on display in stores, and even on the TV. These ads are used to gain attention and business to the company’s products. Businesses try to produce the most vibrant, eye catching, and even the most member able advertisements. Unconsciously we are lured to these ads and wanting the product. But what ad do most consumers lean towards? Ads can have a variety of techniques to sell similar products, like bright colors, excitement, serious topics, and empowerment.

Advertisers, especially fragrance advertisers stick to a ‘house style’ and because of these similarities we have expectations of what they will include. The advert I have chosen is Estee Lauder perfume, which features Kendall Jenner. Some of the features we expect on fragrance adverts are glamour, beauty and attractiveness to be shown. It is very common for advertisers to use well-known celebrity such as Kendall Jenner. It is a technique to get people looking at the advert because audiences admire celebrities, success and importantly ‘beauty’. If a ‘normal’ ‘everyday’ woman were to be used for adverts then it would catch less attention, as they are not known and the product would sell less because people assume, if celebrities use the

The ads that I got were all from the “Living” magazine by Martha Stewart. The first ad is from their 25 Anniversary Issue December 2015/January 2016. The second ad is from the March 2016 Issue, and the third is from the April 2016 issue. In their ads they emphasizes on the experiences that a product can make us feel, besides the material goods that we obtain, they advertised as a good experience that you could have if you buy the product.

I have chosen an ad from Elle magazine and an ad from Men’s Health magazine. In the ad from Elle, there is a blonde woman just lounging around looking beautiful while in the ad from Men’s Health there is a shirtless man who has clearly been active. Proving what Susan Bordo says, “men act and women appear”, to be

     The appearance of these models is the primary concern of the ads and entails many different elements. Every model portrays a different characteristic through the pose they are in and the clothes that they wear. One ad depicts a sexy young woman who shows confidence by extending her arms out and exposing her flat stomach. Her hips are thrust to the left side, her long beautiful hair is gently blown back, and her facial expression and eye contact hint at sexual desire or acceptance of the viewer. Another female model also has her hips out to the left, but her hands express a different idea. While one hand is used to play with her hair, the other is up to her face with her pointer finger right below her bottom lip. Her hair partly covers her eyes and with her head slightly down, she comes off as shy but confidant. The confidence comes from her exposed stomach and direct eye contact that she makes with the viewer. These two women are somewhat opposite in how they come off which shows that Calvin Klein is trying to appeal to what different guys look for and appreciate in a woman.

A) The four advertisements I chose are all women’s clothing. The first pattern I noticed in the advertisements was that all four of them showcased just one woman by herself and the second pattern was that each woman had quite a bit of skin showing. In each of them they were doing something slightly different though. In the Bottega Veneta advertisement the woman is posing with her arm up and looking off at something out of the shot and her legs seem to be never ending and completely revealed. In the Ann Taylor advertisement the model is Kate Hudson and she is sitting down on a chair with her legs crossed and is leaning a bit forward and resting her head on her arm. The slit of her dress goes up very high and reveals most of her legs and a slightly deep cut around her neck revealing part of her chest as well as all of her right arm. Also this advertisement is specifically for the new little black dress line. In the Express advertisement girl seems to be walking with her hand on her neck while simultaneously swirling the bottom of her dress around from walking. Her arm is uncovered and you see a good amount of her legs and the movement of the dress draws your eyes to that. In the Levi’s advertisement the woman is facing away from the camera so we see her from behind. She is pulling up her Levi’s shorts, which draws the eyes to her bottom half.

The target market for Maybelline’s Great Lash Mascara is primarily women between the ages of 15 and 35. Because of this large age gap, Maybelline over the years has become a more contemporary brand for all women of all races. They have done this by providing foundation shades in a wider range of colors and introducing products that women of any age can use. Maybelline also produces different products for each country that they distribute to. Each ad within an ad campaign is altered slightly or tremendously to better suit the culture it is marketing to. In the U.S., a large percent of females begin to use makeup before the age of 16. As a girl uses Maybelline Great Lash Mascara, a well-known product, it could have possibly been bought for her or given to her by her mother. With this specific product being around for many years, many women have grown to be brand loyal to it. As a young woman grows into adulthood, the cheaper mascara option of Maybelline Great Lash can be compared to other brands of higher price. Other competitors can provide a product that a consumer can reach for as they grow and can begin to afford to spend more on a better quality or different formula of mascara. This can relate to income or social class within demographics as well. Some women choose this specific SBU because of the affordable price and what they expect out of the product. This specific product is a simple mascara that lengthens and darkens lashes. As these consumers grow older, they may

Comparisons between advertisements of the same media take a specific skill, eye, and intellect to make these comparisons and contrasts. Comparisons can include the imagery, copy, and the campaign, these are up to debate for the viewer, to one an advertisement can be provocative, but to another the advertisement can simply be a form of bandwagon. Calvin Klein and Versace have two internet advertisements that I believe them to both be provocative in their own special ways, but share a form of bandwagon. Calvin Klein has an advertisement that features same-sex couples and opposite-sex couples; they show texts from them that reveal sexual innuendos and positions. Versace has an advertisement that displays Lady Gaga in a lavender dress in a very glamorous position on a similar color couch and background.

In 2011 fashion powerhouse United Colours of Benetton (Benetton) launched a worldwide campaign, in an attempt to tackle the cultural hatreds that has permeated the globe. Under the name UnHate; Benetton embarked on an advertising strategy that would later prove to create un-paralelled discourses that would ripple through continents from the White House in USA to The Vatican in Italy. The campaigns’ impact across the globe centered largely on it’s choice of unconventional advertising methods; utilizing often controversial imagery, which lead to consumer and industry reactions bordering ‘uproar’ around the Ponzano Veneto Company. Benetton then, and now continues to argue that “hatred comes in many forms” and views fashion as a global medium,
