The Bark Side, By Volkswagen

This commercial presents a simple story, unlike a more common vehicle commercial that typically endorses the product by delivering facts and information. Chevrolet, nor anything about their vehicle, is verbally mentioned at all in this commercial. The idea of this commercial is obviously to advertise Chevrolet’s product, an Equinox in this case. However, the purpose is deeper than just to show off and market their vehicle. The clear purpose is to touch hearts through its warm story of a golden retriever named Maddie who has

The reason for this is that from the advertisement one could sense an appeal to our sense of identity, self-interest and emotions. It added some amount of excitement and humor. A positive image was created from the video about the Papa John’s Pizza and it really made me feel persuaded to buy the pizza.

For this essay I will be using the commercial made by Budweiser for the 2015 Super Bowl, “Lost Dog.” This advertisement is about a tiny lost puppy getting far away from home and most importantly, the friendship between this puppy and some Clydesdale horses. In the beginning of this commercial, the puppy is shown hiding under some hay, and then he proceeds to jump into a random trailer which initially gets him lost far from home. There is no dialogue in this commercial aside from the music in the background, but the advertisement shows the distress of the owner through facial expressions and scenes where he puts

In ad A, the scene opens with dramatic music, fast camera shots and a tense narrative, all of which create a stressful mood. This tense beginning leads up to a shot of doctors huddled around an operating table, which soon emits a buzz. As soon as the camera pans down on the table to reveal the man from the Operation game, a voiceover introduces Geico. Because the patient is a game character, the mood of the scene immediately becomes much more lighthearted. Furthermore, the dramatic music and fast camera shots stop as soon as the voiceover introduces Geico. Because both the change in mood and the introduction of Geico occur almost simultaneously, Geico creates an association between the two instances. Along with ad A, ad B uses cinematography to create a harsh contrast between the tense atmosphere before the mention of Geico, and the relaxed one after the voiceover introduces the company. At the start of ad B, two armed guards and another man briskly walk down a dimly lit hall into a room where a prisoner and several other men reside. The dark lighting, realistic guard costumes and the intimidating sounds of armor clanking all contribute to the eerie and tense mood of the initial scene. In contrast, after the guards leave and the Ping-Pong table flips back dowm, the only sounds become those of men cheering. This drastic change in mood from an intimidating atmosphere to a festive and inviting one occurs at the same time as the voiceover advertising Geico, thus illustrating how the ad uses cinematography to create an association between Geico and pleasant environments. Similarly, ad C employs the same techniques in order to emphasize the fact that Geico relieves stress in tense situations. In this particular ad, the initial scene involves beeping alarms, flashing lights, sparking machines and a factory in disarray. With frazzled men and women panicking and

Ethos can allow the viewers to see the credibility or reliability of the commercial. In this commercial, the use of the golden retriever dog works as a way to build credibility. The dog works as a way to build credibility because it symbolizes a man’s best friend. Although there is no spoken language in this commercial, the dog is used as the spokesperson to make the audience feel inclined to trust and believe what is being presented to them. Most people know that dogs are quite loyal and protect their owners, so having the dog in this commercial inclines people to believe that what is being show to them is possible. Having the dog as the main character in this commercial establishes common ground with the audience. Everyone that watches this commercial will have different perspectives, but Budweiser uses this dog to find a common point that attracts the

Because the advertisement was aired five months after the September 11 incident, there were intense emotions among the American citizens. Budweiser was aware of this and created a commercial with strong emotional appeals. With pathos loaded, the advertisement seems to appeal to the viewer’s emotional senses. In the beginning, a character in the form of a man is fascinated by the horses. The image of the horses is reflected in the glasses of the windows. Business takes place in this area, but he takes a break from all the activities to watch the passing horses because of the awe factor that the Clydesdales stimulates. Thus, as an audience, I will resonate with the man by showing the same reaction. The behaviors of the man are expected to the audience how they should react as well. They are expected to stop every activity they were performing and understand the powerful message conveyed by the majestic creatures.

Budweiser first released its “Lost Dog” commercial during Super Bowl XLIX (49). The advertisement centers itself around a small dog who, out of curiosity, enters a truck trailer without the knowledge of his owner. The dog then attempts to find its way back home but encounters an obstacle that it cannot overcome- a hungry wolf. When all hope seems lost, the dog’s best friends, the Budweiser trademarked Clydesdale horses, come to save him. The dog and horses all make it back home to their owner at the end of the advertisement.

“Uh oh, guess what day it is?” starts the ad with an enthusiastic camel. We have all come to know and quote this "hump day" GEICO commercial. It's been such a success, there are now other GEICO commercials featureing the camel but punning a different day, such as their most recent ad, "Movie Day." Many people believe this may be one of the most effective commercials on the market today. Even though this ad is highly relevant, humorous and remains memorable, the ad doesn't really associate with the company, at all. Therefore, in my eyes, it lacks credibility and facts that links to the company in a more noticable manner.

Over the last few decades, American culture has been forever changed by the huge amount of advertisement the people are subjected to. Advertising has become such an integral part of society, many people will choose whether or not they want to buy a product based only on their familiarity with it rather than the product’s price or effectiveness. Do to that fact, companies must provide the very best and most convincing advertisements as possible. Those companies have, in fact, done

In the 2015 Budweiser’s “Lost Puppy” commercial, we immediately see a special bond between a dog, owner, and horse. The commercial starts off with the relationship between the horse and dog, and how they don’t want to be separated. Throughout the making of Budweiser commercials, Budweiser has created a strong connection with puppies. Budweiser has used the puppy to create a story line to create more than one advertisement. The commercial then gets to our emotions when the puppy goes missing after jumping into the back of a

mmercial: The commercial takes place on a dogs racing track. The announcer introduces a tall, slender dog named Silver Prince and states is the favorite for the race. The camera redirects the audience to a French Bulldog called Mr. Quiggly, and the announcer mention that he was a late entry. The commentator jokingly asks if Mr. Quiggly was wearing racing shoes. Indeed, he was and the other announcer says that wearing racing shoes was perfectly legal and soon the race begins. In spite of being short and husky, Mr. Quiggly surprised everyone when he surpasses all the other dogs during the race. He finally arrives at the finishing line and uses his Go Run shoes as brakes. Confidently, he then turns around and as the “Wild Thing” music from Tone

Not all advertisers do such a great job at taking their point across in an ad. Sometimes there are those ads that you can stare at endlessly, trying to figure out what it is trying to persuade you of buying, but you never understand

The Kia Soul car commercial is a commercial that is used to endorse the sales of the new Kia soul. The commercial focuses on bringing different type of people to together in unison. It starts with a guy dressed on modern western wear sitting on a log. While he sitting on this log which happens to be in a park, he’s playing a familiar tune with a banjo. In the midst of him playing, a hamster drives up in the Kia they are promoting, the Kia soul, and begins to play along. As they continue to play, more people come to join them in the park with a variety of instruments. The people are from all different walks of life. Everyone looks different with different styles and cultures. Of course the people are showing up in the new 2016 Kia Soul but they

When analysing all of the advertising around us, sometimes we don’t look at what the true message of a commercial really is. We live in a world that is controlled by mass media and because of this advertisers are trying harder each year to outdo themselves and their competitors. Rhetors use techniques in their advertisements such as fantasies or surrealism to catch the attention of their audience. Companies like Audi pour millions of dollars into their marketing teams to make sure their cars look the best and attract consumers. Commercials that are shown on television today are great examples of rhetorical artifacts because of the many techniques being exercised by the rhetor. Analyzing this through the lens of rhetorical

Also, the advancements on this stage are as a rule in a condition of concordance with the substance of the video requested, this is another purpose of interest YouTube brings for marketing experts. Certain advancements are given certain recordings since the substance is appropriate. Uncommon open entryways, for instance, supporting a video is in like manner possible on YouTube, "for case, a customer who chase down a YouTube video on canine planning may be given a bolstered video from a pooch toy association in results close by various recordings." YouTube furthermore engage distributers to secure money through its YouTube Partner Program.
