This company is emphasising how their product is an authentic Asian dish and the yellow and red brand colours they incorporate in their logo is used to highlight their authentic background. Another range of competitors would include 2-minute noodle companies such as ‘Maggi’, ‘Indomie Mi Goreng’, ‘Nissin 's Demae Ramen’, and ‘Nong Shim 's Shin Ramyun’. Although Lee’s Chilled Meals produces a slightly different product, companies like Maggi are well established within the ready-to-eat noodle market and have an established consumer base. An online survey was created and distributed to 693 people (347 males and 346 females) between 18-25 across Sydney. Numerous key insights were identified as a result of this research, one of the most important was when creating an advertisement image of the product to not simply show a bowl of noodles on a table in front of any empty seat. Through the use of multiple place settings and another bowl of noodles and by showing two people consuming the product, this can evoke the idea in the mind of the consumer that the product is one to be shared and enjoyed with other people, hence creating a positive experience. The use of the ‘visual depiction effect’ to subtly manipulate the positioning of utensils and cutlery to match that of the viewers dominant hand provokes mental stimulation and generates mental association towards the use of the product. Elder and Krishna concluded from a study
Whole Foods was established in 1980 with one store in Austin, Texas. Today, Whole Foods is the world’s largest leader in natural and organic foods. There are over 310 stores in North America and the United Kingdom. Whole Foods is committed to the finest natural and organic foods available, sustainable agriculture and have one of the strictest of quality standards. Whole Foods offers customers a wide variety of products. “Natural” refers to food that is free of growth hormones or antibiotics, where “certificated
2. Being a low involvement good, repetitive advertising is needed to increase high brand exposure. The purpose is to remind consumers of the brand and to maintain high awareness so that they will be included in the evoked set. Reminder advertising that incorporates the jingle and mermaid icon serves to increase positive associations to the canned tuna. IMC in the form of point of sales displays is particularly vital in the last touch point to stimulate sales where it becomes a “moment of truth” right before consumers decide on an
In conclusion, advertisements, although they are intended to only sell products, contain many different underlying ideas and opinions of the people who created them and the society from which they came. I analyzed a Red Robin commercial for a burger which included a suggestive woman to appeal to men and their appetites. This use of women and the ways in which American society has sexualized food have societal and cultural implications that are not overtly visible unless one is looking for them. If we look at the way Americans view women, we see that they are sexualized. This sexualization is used to sell much more than food, such as cars, watches, perfume
Today’s society is faced with a plethora of media appealing to their emotional state by advertising the basic human need, to eat. The images that we see each and every day of our lives appear in media such as, magazines, billboards, television, during movies, and on the internet. These images are artfully recorded as film or photographs in such an advanced way that they tempt and tease our senses, inviting us to purchase and eat such a wonderful product (Cyberpat.com, 2013). Our senses are bombarded with messages constantly and are extremely sensitive to the messages they receive. The sense of sight and sense of smell are particularly sensitive and have a special connection with the processing of messages that affect the emotions Croy, Schirato and Webb, 2004). This is often referred to as The Hedonic Experiential Model. It is refers to the way consumers process information based on the concept that purchasing decision may be spur of the moment or irrational. This model reflects the emotions of the consumer, which more than likely, have been influenced by advertising or visual propaganda. (Clow) It is with little wonder that advertising or mass media propaganda, are expressed utilising the senses, and in particular, the sense of sight (Alden and Steenkamp et al., 1999).
In Chapter Seven of Practices of Looking, we start to explore in the ideas of advertising, consumer cultures and desire. Everyday, we are faced with advertisements through newspapers, magazines, TV, movies, billboards, public transportation such as buses and taxis, clothing, the internet, etc. Logos, such as signs, or anything that resemble a brand, are everywhere, they are on clothing, household items, electronics, cars, etc. Consumers are always showing off their brands and advertisements and we are used to seeing those brands and advertisements in an everyday setting. In modern media, advertisers are pressured to always change the ways they show off and get the attention to consumers, old and new. Advertisers also used present figures who were glamorous. Advertisements set up a certain relationship between the product and its meaning to sell the products and the hidden meaning we link to each of the products. Advertisements use the language of conversion. Advertisers try to create a customer relationship to the brand to try to form them as familiar, necessary, and also likeable.
This won’t stop here. Loblaws is stepping into the ugly food game; however, our highest quality food won’t be stepping out. We are stepping in because we believe that ugly is too strong of a word to describe food. The “ugly” food that goes to waste is still healthy, delicious, and fresh. We are stepping in because we believe in sustainability, and the need for environmental, social, and economic change. We are stepping in because we believe that throwing away the food is more of a waste than not giving it a home at all. It isn’t ugly food; it is Naturally Imperfect food. Loblaw will embrace a “Naturally Imperfect” branding as we distribute foods of all shapes to all of our grocery branches. Loblaw’s runs by three principles that every business- no matter the size- should run: growth, innovation, and flexibility. That is exactly what we are accomplishing today. By taking this step, we are also taking growth, innovation, and flexibility into our future actions. I’m here today to ask you to step in with Loblaw. Step in and change the grocery industry. Keep up the with the tide of social
Recently, Fenty Beauty released a commercial onto Instagram, Twitter and Youtube. This is the ideal method for displaying the makeup line because commercials have motion, which allows the viewer to see the use of the products in various looks. This advertisement shows a wide variety of people from different cultures and parts of the world. This makes it relatable to almost all people watching it because people automatically connect to advertisements where they see people that they associate with themselves. Therefore, by using this technique people will have a positive image of the brand and are more likely to buy the products. Along with the use of diverse models, there were animations of the products all linking together. By showing models in various shape, skin colour and background, Fenty Beauty focuses on an audience that has been rarely targeted. The audience for the makeup line are people with darker skin tones. The market for this audience was nearly untouched so there was definitely money to be made. This advertisement is also very unique in the way it shows its products. It has an aesthetic feel and makes itself visually appealing by using varying shades of colour, shapes, and camera angles along with upbeat music synced animations keeps the audience engaged. This creative use of visuals make it more appealing to the audience so that they are more likely to buy the product. The visuals show all the products in the product mix. The packaging of the products in the
While most the food products that are out in the market today can barely be considered food to some people, in my opinion, the majority of the people don’t know what is in the food products they buy but purchase these food products anyhow. I, myself being one of the people that don’t always know what is in the food products I purchase. After listening to the TED Talks and reading articles from Food Matters, my opinion of what can be considered “real food” has drastically changed. Although I already spend most of my time in the peripheries of the market, I do not spend all of my time there so I would like to challenge myself to following one of Michael Pollan’s rules and plan to “shop the peripheries of the supermarket and stay out of the middle” (15).
Have you ever watched a food commercial with images of juicy burgers or rich dark chocolate and instantly desired to eat that particular food based on the picture? These are clever advertising and marketing tools used to lure consumers with enticing the imagination. These tools have been used for many years and prey on our use of visual literacy. Visual literacy is the capacity to explain what we see through images and make meaning of them. The textbook, Visual Literacy: Learning to See, and Brian Kennedy’s video, Visual Literacy and Why We Need It, explains the definition of visual literacy differently. The textbook and B. Kennedy’s video both offer an intellectual clarity on visual literacy, but the textbook gives a more accurate definition based on today’s world, seeing as there is a continuous use of images in advertisements and marketing, which rely on much more than just our sight.
Whole Foods Market is one of the biggest organic and natural whole food suppliers in the world. They provide a wide variety of select foods that are without hormones or antibiotics and are stamped with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s stamp of approval. They value the fact that they can provide people with access to healthy food and be identified with being socially and environmentally responsible.
The message conveyed through the advertising appeals influences the purchasing decisions of consumers. In this case, the advertisement was aired by Carl’s Jr fast food restaurant to advertise their new “all natural burger”. It was aired during the Super bowl because majority of the audience, men and woman, are watching the game. And it makes it easy for them to put their product out because most people that watch the Super bowl just watch the commercials.
Food is very much a part of pop culture, and the beliefs, practices, and trends in a culture affect its eating practices. Pop culture includes the ideas and objects generated by a society, including foods, and other systems, as well as the impact of these ideas and objects on society. For example, Mcdonald's is another of the thousands of fast food chains that populate our cities though they often use the term “popular culture” only to refer to media forms. Their popularity has also increased internationally. Although all humans need food to survive, people's food habits and how they obtain, prepare, and consume food, are the result of learned behaviors. Mcdonald’s, like other food chains, has made an effort to ‘localize’ its products so that they will be more successful in each different cultural context. These collective behaviors, as well as the values and attitudes they reflect, come to represent a group’s pop culture.

This essay compares Michael Moss’ “Junk Food” to Virginia Heffernan’s “What If You Just Hate Making Dinner”. Both of these authors write about food, and they specifically discuss the topic of junk food. The key difference between these articles is that Heffernan looks at the topic from the point of view of a consumer, a busy mother seeking a convenience; and Moss focuses more on the food and beverage industry and its impact on the consumers. Many industry professionals, doctors and scientists alike are concerned about spreading obesity epidemic. The similarities between “Junk Food” and “What If You Just Hate Making Dinner” are pronounced, and they deserve thorough investigation.
Visual culture is the use of images, media, and other visual modes to represent the events and ideas of the world (Mirzoeff, 1999). The visual modes can range from an oil painting, to media on the internet, advertisements or TV. Visual culture has an influence on the consumer who is exposed to it. In this essay, I am looking specifically at how visual culture is used in advertisements, and how large brands, such as Coca Cola and McDonalds, use visual culture throughout their advertisements. Visual culture is often used to benefit a business. Such as increasing brand recognition through the marketing of the brand via colour or imagery. It can also be through catchy slogans or jingles that are created to leave an impression and therefore influence the consumer to the extent that they are remembered for a significant period of time. Therefore, it can be seen that Coca Cola and McDonalds both use different forms of visual culture in order to improve company image and increase brand recognition.
