Ogilvy used logos to list out the steps of creating an advertisement. For instance, Ogilvy wrote, “First, study the product you are going to advertise... Your next chore is to find out what kind of advertisement your competitors have been doing for similar products” (Ogilvy, 11-12). He evokes logic to explain to the audience that to create an effective advertisement that they must become familiar with their product as well as their competitor’s product and advertisement, which give them an advantage in creating a more effective ad.

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.

Repetition is a potent device Edwards uses throughout his sermon; the repetition of the image of God’s hand speaks volumes throughout the piece. The repetition of the image of God’s hand holding individuals up, displays God protecting the audience from the suffering that would have transpired in their lives: “it is only the power and mere pleasure of God that holds you up” (Edwards).

Advertising is a form of communication used to encourage or persuade an audience to continue or take some new action. But when advertisers produce an ad, they have many different variables that come into play if they want to successfully persuade consumers. The first most important step they have to figure out is, what type of audience they are trying to target. They then create images and intend to appeal specifically to the values, hopes, and desires of that particular audience. This is why someone would rather pick the well-known Malboro cowboy ads over the new female cigarettes of Virginia Slims. Each of these ads targets a specific audience;

This means that the reader actively contributes to the exchange of information. If different readers interpret the text (the ad) differently, the author (advertiser) needs to create a text that will be interpreted the correct way by a specific reader. Knowing how women think allows the advertisers to create ads that women will interpret in a positive way, therefore increasing their likelihood to buy the product.

The role of advertisements are simply created to conform the assumptions about the people who are either viewing or going to purchase the product which is seen in the ad.

Advertising is a persuasive communication attempt to change or reinforce one’s prior attitude that is predictable of future behavior. We are not born with the attitudes for which we hold toward various things in our environment. Instead, we learn our feelings of favorability or unfavorability through information about the object through advertising or direct experience with the object, or some combination of the two. Furthermore, the main aim of advertising is to ‘persuade’ to consumer in order to generate new markets for production.
