As opposed to many other companies, Apple focuses its branding on appealing to the population’s emotions and standing out as opposed to directly informing the public about the features and specifications of specific products (Jobs). Therefore, Apple must create multiple different advertisements, all marketing different demographics. The company has realized this and does target multiple demographics through commercials. This is necessary for Apple to be better than its competitors as different commercials would form many deep connections between different generations and the company.

Their commercial “Friend of Jared”, proves Subway promotes the healthy food image but deceives the public with its actual product. The commercial is set in a baseball field on a nice day. The actors are participating in an amateur game and appear happy and full of energy. They quickly introduce the characters by flashing their name and amount of weight lost in the middle of the screen.
