Pepsi's Use Of Ethos In Advertising

This Doritos ad, in particular, has no recorded background. In the past, Doritos would use platforms for their advertisements that would be easy for the public to track, like TV ads or billboards. In the case of this ad, Doritos likely posted it on a website or social media platform, meaning there is no known source where the ad came from. Doritos used the internet as a platform to target a specific audience. In this ad, Doritos targets a millennial audience with the hope of selling more product to this group. Doritos successfully uses rhetorical appeals and strategies in this ad to encourage millennials to purchase the product. Appeals to pathos, logos, and ethos all work together to convince the audience to purchase Doritos during the kairotic moment of millennials attempting to prove themselves to the world.

Gatorade uses the theme song “Hard Work” and professional athletes to show the durability of the Gatorade sports drink. “Winning is…hard work” is used to describe the dedication and the energy it takes to win. By using the phrase Gatorade is showing that their drink provides the necessary resources needed to keep pushing for success. This advertisement appeals to pathos and ethos. Ethos is shown by the use of professional athletes and the Gatorade brand itself. Pathos is shown by the hard work and dedication that people put into their work to stay on top of their opponent.

The advertisement overall is effective to attract the male gender. It is very common that since men are very competitive and confident, Nike would create this ad to praise men. Although, the ad is also being effective to the individual who is not fit but wants to participate in the competition which this includes running using Nike shoes. Therefore, the ad is excellent at using pathos, and logical appeal in order to persuade its purpose.

What captures the attention of people when they view an advertisement, commercial or poster? Is it the colors, a captivating phrase or the people pictured? While these are some of the elements often employed in advertising, we can look deeper and analyze the types of appeals that are utilized to draw attention to certain advertisements. The persuasive methods used can be classified into three modes. These modes are pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos makes an appeal to emotions, logos appeals to logic or reason and ethos makes an appeal of character or credibility. Each appeal can give support to the message that is being promoted.

They add the books to help get a better understanding of the message. The ad is using logos and ethos because it talks about how doctors say it’s #1 recommended. The other reason why it's logos is because it uses facts. The age range they’re trying to reach is people ages 40 and older, male and females in america that have eye problems.

Advertisements all have one purpose, which is to make a customer aware of them so that the product or message being advertised can be brought to their awareness. The goal of gaining a person’s attention towards a product so that it can be bought is often achieved by appealing to the author’s credibility. An example can be seen in the American Red Cross Poster reveals that by giving blood, it brings communities together and it helps save lives of many (Red Cross). It can be seen that credibility is trying to be gained by showing that the audiences best interest is being made by stating that the blood would help save other lives and people would be closer together. Another example of the appeal to ethos can be seen in a passage from the book

Though they use various kinds on the commercial, the main goal of advertising tries to convince customer to buy their products, or do what they want.

First, allow me to give you a synopsis of the ad so you have some context to work with. The commercial starts out showing Derrick Coleman walking through the tunnel at Century Link Field where the Seattle Seahawks play professional football. The ad cuts to a shot of his hearing aid and then Derrick himself begins to narrate the ad. He takes you from the troubles of his childhood through his high school football days. You can see people talking to him, but the sounds of the words are muted. He talks about how he thought his days playing football were over when he wasn’t drafted in the 2012 NFL Draft. He never let go of his dream and impressed Seattle Seahawks coaches in a tryout. The ad cuts back to Century Link Field, home of the 12th man. If you’re not a football aficionado this might seem like an odd characterization. The 12th man refers to the fans of the Seattle

If Chris Brown looks fashionable and trendy drinking milk, the consumer will think they would also. Wearing the milk moustache also makes him seem slightly silly and humorous, making him more relatable to the audience. The moustache succeeds in making him more real, and brings him off of a pedestal and onto the level of the audience, making them feel as if they are one step closer to being like Chris. In doing this, it makes the milk, which is the underlying theme, appear more attractive. This ad also gives you a sense that drinking milk will make you happy and energetic. Chris Brown appears in this ad full of life, with a huge smile on his face and him dancing off of the ground. It subconsciously relates Chris Browns image with drinking milk, making you think you will achieve that.

1.The company I chose to research is the, Coca-Cola Company. Their company mission is to “refresh the world” and spread happiness, which can be seen in the media advertising.

Coca Cola’s marketing has been changing over time with more and more products being added every day, while Pepsi has implemented several smart marketing strategies to improve its turnover and profits. So, let’s see what were the marketing strategies implemented by Coca Cola and Pepsi.

Pepsi is a world famous carbonated soft drink made by American company PepsiCo. Its distinctive blue packaging makes a huge contrast with its long-time rival’s signature red packing, Coca-Cola. First introduced as 'Brad's Drink' in North Carolina, USA at 1893 before renaming to Pepsi at 1898, Pepsi has always trying to be the dominant brand in soft-drink market while completing with Coca-Cola, known as the Cola War, where the two brands used a series of television advertisements and marketing campaigns trying to get more influence in the soft-drink market among the consumers. Pepsi launched its new commercial advertisement ‘Live For Now Moments Anthem’ in April 2017, as a part of its previously launched Pepsi's first global campaign ‘Live For Now’ in April 2012. The protest-themed advertisement, however, not only was nowhere near Pepsi’s original expectation, but it causes a huge ethical issue, backlash and controversy that made Pepsi took down the advertisement and issue an apology in less than a few days.

Coca-Cola was invented by John Pemberton the Coca-Cola Company began in 1886. With more than 1.9 billion consumers a day, in more than 200 countries, Coca-Cola is dedicated to being the world’s largest beverage company by maintaining and gaining customers.

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”.

In 1886, a pharmacist named John Pemberton invented a dark bubbly drink to try out the beverage market. Sold at 5 cents a glass, the drink did not sell well until after Pemberton’s death, selling at nine servings per day. Afterwards, a businessman named Asa G. Candler took the brand and expanded the drink beyond Atlanta, introducing the drink with the famous trademarked contour bottle. Today, Coca-Cola has risen to become one of the most recognized brands in the world. Its beverage, the number one sparkling drink, sells 1.9 billion servings per day on a global scale. This profound success is predominantly due to Coca-Cola’s ability to create a strong brand that the global population can relate to and love.
