Social Values In Coca-Cola Advertisements

When it comes to the topic of commercials, most of us readily agree that commercials are irritating. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the purpose of the commercial. Whereas some are convinced that commercials are meaningless, others maintain that commercials tell a story. Effective commercials are repetitive and illustrate a story. Marketers use rhetoric marketing, the art of persuasive speaking and writing, when persuading an audience to buy a product. Rhetoric marketing is especially effective through the illustration of a story. It is effective because the marketer is able to relate to the consumer with a story or message. Advertisers also use the appeals of logic, credibility, and emotions to intrigue interest in a company. Coca-Cola’s advertisement, “Falling,” depicts the product as a confidence building companion suitable for young love through a series of logical and emotional appeals that visibly promotes the brand’s credibility.

1. Consider Coca-Cola’s advertising throughout its history. Identify as many commonalities as possible for its various ads and campaigns. (For a list of Coca-Cola slogans over the years, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Colaslogans.)

Pepsi uses ethos in this ad. They first show a Pepsi symbol in the middle square of the image. This is a well-known symbol as this is a well known and it does not fail to catch the viewer's attention. They also have what looks like a party scene in the background featuring six celebrities. The Celebrities (One Direction and Drew Brees) makes the ad more credible because they stand as a credible source. As this ad was published in 2012, which is also the year that One Direction had hit it big and was on their first world tour. Also, Drew Brees was having a good year, according to NFL.com. Drew had an average of 7.7 on his passing and a 0.3 on rushing. As Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and Drew Brees all

Coca-Cola has been around for 125 years with the same logo, taste, and design. Making it one of the most recognizable brands in the world. Coca-Cola’s “Mean Joe Greene” commercial was an iconic Super Bowl XIV commercial in 1980. In this commercial, their goal was to persuade the audience that a bottle of coke can bring happiness and a smile. By choosing a notorious football icon, Mean Joe Greene, to play the mean guy was a great choice. Mean Joe Greene is a hall of fame defensive end football player from the 1970’s. He was known for his temper and cruelty on the field. Thus, the name Mean Joe Greene. He was an excellent football player which is why people loved and still love him till this day. By using all three rhetorical concepts, logos (appealing to reasoning), pathos (appealing to emotion), and ethos (appealing to credibility), Coke creates a motto that persuades its audience to “Have a Coke and a Smile”.

Coca–Cola a leading manufacturer, distributor and marketer of soft drink products. Coca–Cola was not always the sugary syrup soft drink most people know today. As a matter of fact, before 1886 Coca-Cola was made with alcohol and cocaine. Concocted by Dr. John Pemberton a pharmacist in Atlanta Georgia Coca-Cola was originally named Pemberton’s French Wine Coca. Dr. Pemberton marketed the drink as a cure all for mental and physical disorders and was sold from a soda fountain at his local drug store. A step ahead of prohibition, Dr. Pemberton replace the wine in his formula with a sugary syrup. The cocaine portion of Coca-Cola was removed before 1914 when cocaine was deemed illegal in the United States of America. Coca-Cola as we know today still contains coca but the narcotic portion of cocaine, it is removed. Today, Coca-Cola has expanded to over 200+ countries. From concerts to sport venues to local restaurants you are more than likely to come across a Coca-Cola product, Coca-Cola has had such an impact on society that it is given credit for how we portray Santa Clause today. Other credits should also be given to Coca-Cola like an increase in diabetes and other diseases.

Does the childish logic of having done it first mean you have the right to it work in the real, business world? According to Coca-Cola USA, the slogans they use during their advertising campaigns are to be used solely by them. Herbert, a representative from Coca-Cola USA, informs the Grove Press that they had used their slogan in one of their advertisements for a book. Seaver, Executive Vice President of the Grove Press, does not agree with Coca-Cola’s terms and claim they were merely quoting a book critic for the advertisement. He addresses all of Herbert's claims while also adding a sense of sarcasm. Seaver presents a stronger letter with the use a sarcasm and countering all of Herbert’s claims while Herbert merely establishes authority and uses weak logic as his backup.

After reading the rhtorical analysis, Essay about the Coca-Cola commercial, "Anthem" I gave the student a B short of being an A. The student choose a commercial that was created within the past 3 years, identified the year aired, ensured that the commercial was within the acceptable time-frame specified of 30-60 seconds, and wrote the essay for her target audience. For those reasons, I gave the student a full 20 in the criteria for genre/audience.

The media and design in the ad helps The Coca Cola Company take on the deeper parts of a person to get to its purpose. They do this by creating an image with the aforementioned pictures collaged together to focus the attention of the

I choose to analyze the Coca-Cola commercial of Coke Mini (Hulk vs. Ant-Man). I think this commercial would fall under ethos. They are using Hulk to be the character for ethos. Coca-Cola wants you to think that super heroes like Hulk or very important people are who they are because they are drinking Coco-Cola. In this commercial Hulk is the model, he is drinking a Coca-Cola so the people who love him will want to be like him and drink a Coca-Cola. I would say this commercial could also fall under logos, because they are using Hulk again like the role model. The commercial also touches the people who want to be huge and ripped or want to be a super hero like Hulk. It makes them want to drink a Coca-Cola to be like him as much as possible.

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. Customer preference is a core value to coke. Coke has dedicated itself to meet the thirst needs of every customer. They engage with their customers at home, restaurants, sporting events. Almost everywhere customers go, they can find a coke product. They build their top line growth and capital efficiency through investment in FIFA World Cup, “Open Happiness” global campaign, and have many worldwide partners, increasing their business nearly 5% every year by creating a diverse customer base.

Coca Cola is a beverage company, a major consumer of water resources, it uses 2.43 liters of water to produce just 1 liter of beverage which makes it prone to criticism and consumer boycotts so to protects its brand image and defend its vision statement, which said be a responsible citizen, and run its business smoothly it decided to start water program to maintain its operations in Vietnam and build a CSR reputation.

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.

Despite its relation to obesity and other health risk, soda still remains as a popular beverage in the United States, and upon other demographic groups. Amongst the lineup of refreshments, Pepsi and Coca-Cola are the most leading carbonated cola beverage brands around the world. Pepsi and Coca-Cola had been rivals when introduced respectively in the 1900s, trying to dominate the carbonated soft drink market. Through print ads and video ads, both brands were undergoing global advertising war trying to dominate each other. Between the two brands, Coca-Cola seem to be superior to Pepsi due to it’s creative advertisements that grabs consumer’s attention. Coca-Cola portrays rhetorical strategies within the advertisement to catch the audience’s attention by using ethos, pathos, and logos.

“A Coke is a Coke, and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same, and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it."(Andy Warhol, 1975) Regardless of its corporate reputation, the organizational performance and its social responsibility of Coca-Cola makes it loved around the world. Ever since its creation in 1886 Coca-Cola has been a household brand known globally for generations of families. I have to mention, of all the cases researched this is my least favorite not only because of my childhood love for the product because the ethical issues in one way or another always manage to resolve themselves not before further tainting the reputation Coke worked so hard to obtain. Most times, whether an organization is innocent of an unethical act, it becomes secondary to the suspicion of the original act. Almost as if the court of public opinion has the power to ruin the reputation of an organization based on an unfounded accusation. In spite of my loyalty after having ready the case, I do believe Coca-Cola to be flawed. The contamination scare in Belgium is a great example of a public relations nightmare. The slightest hint of impurity should have pushed Coca Cola into crisis management mode but they were slow to react, citing it a minor issue (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, (2011). It was not until local officials
