The target audience would mainly be younger people although, baby boomers would not be excluded, since some of them would probably like to be associated with characteristics such as youthful, adventurous, creative, and confident. The advertising should focus more on the playful, youthful, fun, and unique aspects. The driving experience which is an asset of the brand should be highlighted. If price in this segment is determined in the range of US $14,000 - $16,000 (refer to SWOT analysis annex # 1), some young customers would be excluded.

Even Neil Patrick-Harris, a comedian who starred in How I Met Your Mother, is partnered with the “Heineken” beer commercials. There are also plenty of other celebrity endorsed products.
When it comes to advertising, certain things have fallen into a same-old same-old type of rhythm. While we’ve seen somewhat new content and creative ways of presenting it, we still know what to expect from advertisements. Pretty people, cars driving through the desert, and people talking up fast food flicker across our televisions numerous times a day. Very rarely do we see something that steps outside of the norm or makes us challenge our views on something. With BMW’s film campaign “The Hire” and Dove’s “Campaign for Real Beauty”, the companies presented controversial ideas about their products that were meant to challenge people’s ideas on things like fancy cars and the beauty industry.
For years, advertising agencies have been hard-pressed to develop a method of communication that online users would engage with. The most common of these approaches, banner advertisements, and online commercials, are usually met with disdain and a lack of engagement.

As decades pass, advertisement and marketing methods are constantly evolving. Companies will lure buyers in with methodical discrete messages that are unrecognizable to readers. They will use a person’s morals or values to attract their attention and create ingenious perspectives on common standards of the time period. Even children toy advertisements have underlying meanings; companies pay close attention to the smallest details and make sells by evoking a child to nag their parents to purchase their product. Like many toy companies, Fisher-Price created a magazine ad in the 1980’s that displayed a shift in the typical roles of men and women in a household.
For many decades advertising has been a huge thing in getting people to buy their products. Advertising that targets people’s flaws have become common to get people to buy their products. If a commercial came on my television, and if it was something dealing with my appearance or something I wasn’t happy with I would try the product to see if it worked. However, it does make me wonder is it a good thing, or a bad thing that they are doing to the people that they are targeting.
