663 Words3 Pages

The expert whose ideas I chose to base off of this commercial is Naomi Klein, author of the book No Logo. One of Naomi’s primary concepts was the idea of ‘lifestyle branding’. She described lifestyle branding as the idea that companies are not selling products, they are actually selling ideas.

I believe that if Klein saw this commercial she would state that P&G is one company that is also trying to outstretch its boundaries and trying to show its audience that they have products that you can use repeatedly in your everyday life. Duracell is a battery company that powers everything from watches to medical devices used in hospitals. Tide is one of the nations most popular clothing washing products. Pampers is the nations leading baby diaper dispenser. P&G is showing that they are a company that helps us throughout our entire lives from the moment when we are born to the time when we are about to go to
