Advertisements
Introduction
In public relations and especially in the advertisement sector, the consumer is the target goal. The market strategies all revolve around meeting the consumer needs and wants. It is on the basis of this that advertisements are brought up as market strategies to get the attention of the consumer or otherwise the alternative of the advertisement would be to familiarize a brand or otherwise the goal would be to do a re-branding (Doyle, 2011). However in the field of public relations, some advertisements are bound to be successful while others fail.

They have had exemplary market strategies that have been centered on commercials. The viral success of this ad is the ideology that their ads are smart and have a precise and wide target market group. Their previous market targets were women who would buy products for their sons and husbands as most of their products are for men. Nevertheless the ad was a success as it appealed to women who in the notion that the product: Old spice is able to give a man all the qualities a woman wants. On the other hand the ‘mom song’ ad on the same products targets men who are the primary target for the products. Ultimately the ad was successful in the aspect that video content was appealing to male consumer’s standpoint while at the same time bringing humor and entertainment to the target market (Carter, …show more content…
Despite this massive number of fans they sought for a way to gain even more popularity in the social media. The Cadbury Company brand engaged in the making of a giant chocolate hand that indicated the thumbs up sign to their loyal fans (Dahl, 2010). Notably the activity had a positive result with an overwhelming bonus of an extra thousands fan that joined their fan page. This was a success because the mainstreaming of the video involved the engagement of fans (Chow, 2012).

Canada West jet airlines media campaign on gift rewarding to its customers was a successful media campaign (Marquis Co, 2003). This is accredited to the video steaming of gifts to its customers that notably had Santa in it as it was a Christmas festive season. Passengers had wished for all sorts of gifts and to their surprise the baggage claim was full of their gifts. The video had over 2million views in a span of two days (Yohn, 2013).
Two failed PR campaigns on social
Since it is Autumn season, Burt’s Bees created a new pumpkin spice chapstick favor to add to their collection. Although this ad that I saw is just another sponsored social media advertisement that everyone gets to see, I believe that Burt 's Bees did it right by creating a relevant to everyone spin on their new product and the advertisement that goes with it (pumpkin spice chapstick and pumpkin covered ad). Everyone is in love with the fall time in different ways and the festive pumpkin flavors that go with it, so seeing such advertisement made me happy and in need for one of those pumpkin chapsticks just because I simply love fall and the holidays it brings. In between of watching the new MTV love show called “Are you the One?” I came across

The colour white connotes purity and goodness, which suggests that the drink tastes good. The physical company logo itself is a goose, which is found multiple times on both the box and the bottle itself. Although geese are usually seen as pests or annoying animals, the ad signifies the animal in a different way. The bird is seen flying, which represents freedom. Geese are also known to fly in formations, which represent leadership and trustworthy.
Advertising is defined as “any form of paid communication by an identified sponsor aimed to inform and/or persuade target audiences about an organization, product, service, or idea". By strategically selecting the advertising channels, the company strives to reach the target market
Watching the commercial, the intended audience for an adult man with a son. I say that because the main character’s are an old man and his son. This commercial instills values like the past meaning reliving what you loved and also family. It’s not effective because it doesn’t use the Rhetorical Appeals like Ethos and Logos but, it does include Pathos which makes it somewhat good. Pathos is a Rhetorical Appeal that the commercial does portray in many forms.
“Regardless of what artists may think about this shift in the music industry, there’s no arguing that they need to adapt in order to make money” (Carter 5). Endorsement deals play a big role in a musician’s career. Currently people are debating about whether or not artists should allow advertisers to use their music in promotions. Artists should allow their music to be in commercials because advertising keeps a musician financially stable and helps them reach a wider audience. Generally speaking, allowing corporations to use a musician’s music in advertising keeps artists financially stable.
If one is able to cope with the dissonance, at the same time can make a choice faster. 2.2. Visual presentation of an Advertisement with Regard to Its Persuasive Potential Advertisement, as previously investigated, has to draw one’s attention and promote particular product.

Its aim is to delivering some value to the customers so they purchase or sell goods and/or services. Advertising, however is one of many tools used in marketing to reach and inform consumers. Of the four P’s in the marketing mix, advertising falls under ‘promotion’. Some other marketing tools are public relations, sales promotions, directing marketing and personal selling. There are various types of advertisements, among them political, public service, retail and directory.
On Friday, during the American singer and actress Britney Spears' "Piece of Me" concert at The Axis at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, the pop goddess showed everyone that she's a professional singer with a high degree of skills. On October 19, when The 'Baby One More Time' hitmaker performed "3" from her album - Live: The Femme Fatale Tour, a Godney-inspired hip thrust caused her rear zipper to break, resulting to a wardrobe malfunction at her concert . As soon as the back of Britney Spears' costume popped open, the singer was observed making an effort to fix it for a moment, before moving to her backup dancer to try zipping it back for Britney Spears. When she was not able to achieve this, despite efforts from a couple of different backup dancers, Britney Spears struts away and went on with the performance unperturbed, even when her back was left fully exposed.
Ninety-four percent of the earth’s population recognizes the Coca-Cola logo. That’s not an easy feat to accomplish, especially as a company that primarily sells soft drinks. A major reason why Coke is such a successful company is their advertising. In the commercial titled Brotherly Love, Coca-Cola uses calm music, warm lighting, and a humorous story to associate their products with happy memories in the minds of young people with one or more siblings.
By saying things such as, “…if he stopped using lady scented body wash…” or “Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not like a lady.” As if there is something wrong with a man smelling like a woman; but what do woman smell like? Finally, the commercial uses imagers such as the Old Spice appearing from a hand full of diamonds to appeal to pathos and to make the audience associate Old Spice with luxury. This commercial does not appeal to logos as much as it does to pathos and ethos.
Background of Kellogg’s Founded in 1906 by W.K. Kellogg as the “Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company”, where the Irish families favourite Kellogg’s Corn Flakes were created. In 1915 Kellogg’s were the first cereal company to introduce a high fibre cereal into the market this was of course Kellogg’s Bran Flakes, Creating All Bran the following year. Kellogg’s first arrived in Ireland in 1922 and their products were sold in supermarkets across the country. The following year they became the first company in the food industry to hire a dietician. Decade’s later Kellogg’s introduced a range of new products to “delight Ireland’s shoppers” these products included one of the nation’s favourites “Crunchy Nut Cornflakes”.
Old Spice is known for having different commercials from the other body wash companies as their commercials are really intense and fast pace. “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” starts off with a handsome, tall man with a towel wrapped around his waist showing off his athletic body. He starts by greeting the ladies and keeps on going by saying “look at you man, now back to me…” and keeps going back an forth he finally stops to introduce the body wash by saying “if your man uses Old Spice he could at least smell like me” he than moves on to being on a yacht and shows tickets and diamonds to the ladies showing us that he is wealthy. The commercial than takes a turn and the narrator is now on a white horse and says “ Anything is possible if you man smells like old spice and not a lady.” At the end they have their very iconic whistle to put an end to the
INTRODUCTION Marketing and advertising support the economy by promoting the sale of goods and services to consumers, both adults and children. Sandra Calvert (2008) addresses product marketing to children and shows that although marketers have targeted children for decades, two recent trends have increased their interest in child consumers. First, both the discretionary income of children and their power to influence parent purchases have increased over time. Second, as the enormous increase in the number of available television channels has led to smaller audiences for each channel, digital interactive technologies have simultaneously opened new routes to reach out to children, thereby creating a growing media space just for children and
Advertisement is a method of mass promotion that’s typically used by different firms to reach large groups of potential consumers to persuade and inform them about a particular brand of product or service through oral or visual message.
