Budweiser has always had an interesting outlook on the consumer market because of the simple fact that they only have products really aimed at adults. Recently they have released a commercial which shows them helping America in a desperate time of need by turning one of their factories into water producing plant for the people currently engulfed in disaster relief efforts. Budweiser has provided time and time again that they will step up and stand by us in a desperate time of need.

The one that sticks out the most to the reader is patriotism. Patriotism is using an individuals pride for their country as a selling point. Budweiser uses patriotism in this commercial by showing us that they are behind all Americans and will aid America during a great disaster. The second aspect that is noticed throughout the commercial is the plain man appeal. The plain man appeal is a technique in which the author is appealing to the common man and his or her interests. Budweiser uses this technique towards the end of the commercial where he and his wife are enjoying a nice dinner together and the world just seems to perfect for them. The final advertising technique that was noticed is the lifestyle appeal. Lifestyle appeal is defined as showing a lifestyle to sell a product. Budweiser does this very well in this commercial by allowing us to see inside the life of this factory manager. We see his home, his family, and his job and the struggles he must go through in his life, such as being awoke at strange hours to perform his job. The use of advertising strategies in this commercial provides wonderful insight about not only the company but the people behind
In this way the company promotes its beer by making it the preferable drink of the most interesting man in the world. The ad manipulates the viewer by appealing to humor, the ego, and sex.
As we can tell, even just from the description of the commercial that it is very fast paced. The commercial lasts a duration of thirty-one seconds. This advertisement does a very excellent job in representing this company. Like stated above, it is very comfortable and gives off a warm vibe that makes people feel safe and secure.
The most successful advertisements often blend a series of rhetorical devices to maximize their impact upon their target audience. This is exemplified in a commercial called Commander, which advertises the Audi R8 sports car. Ethos is displayed through the prestige of astronauts, pathos is used to elicit feelings of patriotism, nostalgia, and empathy, and logos is conveyed through comparisons of the sports car to a spaceship. The commercial starts by showing several shots of an empty home office.
(CNN) Between the 60 minutes of broadcasted game time, various companies attempt to put their millions to use and to hopefully create a funny, interesting, and/or informative commercial. Their aim is to spark conversations and stay in
This commercial draws on the viewers emotional well-being through the dialogue of the characters. The first words said in the commercial are, " Never give up on the ones that you care about and, always remember the good things." That statement is strong and will immediately catch the reader 's attention. The little boy also said, “I looked everywhere.
This adds to the style of the advertisement; this whole commercial has a dramatic feeling to it. Styles in advertisements can be anything from humorous to scientific. They provide creative direction and can be very effective if executed well (Pack, 2017). Not many words are spoken throughout the Budweiser advertisement; they do not need to be. The song “Stand by You” is played at the right pace throughout the commercial and gradually gets more cheerful towards the end once the cans of water are shipped off.
Many commercials have messages based inside of them. They try to get the viewer to connect and/or relate to the product or company, and influence them to buy the product. Such is the case with Budweisers’ “Friends are Waiting” commercial from September 2014. It does a great job illustrating how selfish and irresponsible drunk driving is. It also shows how others are depending on you
This where the message of the commercial is revealed; Budweiser beer brings people together. An adventurous story with a conflict like this can really get a viewer on the edge of his/her seat. This is all with soft music playing in the background (Budweiser Brasil). “Music evokes
Allowing the audience to see the connection between the dog and the girl allows for them to build a connection persuading them to buy Chevy’s products. Along with pathos being created through the woman's emotions as life changes, it is also used through the use of a mellow sounding melody that creates a soft, comforting tone for the audience. By adding Maddie to the ad along with using this type of music allows the audience to feel comfort with chevy. Chevrolet uses this type of emotion to show the audience they will have a trusted vehicle through whatever life brings them and that the company will always be there. According to Pooja and Shukla, authors of Rhetoric in Televised FMCG Advertisements and Its Impact on Viewers, without effective advertising, “audiences may get irritated and respond negatively with reactance, distrust and avoidance” (Pooja and Shukla 3).
Although they are seemingly trustworthy, for a commercial of this magnitude it is important to reassure your audience that you are a source that they can believe in. To establish ethos in this commercial, Budweiser shows that they understand the dangers and effects of alcohol. Now that ethos has been established, Budweiser furthers their credibility by having their logo, one that they promote as being based on American tradition, spread throughout the commercial. This helps to show people that the commercial isn’t coming from people who don’t understand the product and the people they are trying to
In the commercial “Born the Hard Way” by Budweiser, we are shown the rough beginning of the Anheuser-Busch Budweiser Brewing Company. The first scene is of a man with his head down as the man next to him, half cut off of the screen, says, “You don’t look like you’re from around here.” The first man is set as an outsider by these words, which in turn creates a wider audience for this commercial. The audience is widened by this simple statement to accommodate immigrants and minority ethnic groups of a large society, this is the targeted audience. Next, the first man, the protagonist, has changed the scene to a boat where he is writing in a journal.
The name of the company, Coca Cola, is considered ethos because has a history of credibility. Pathos is another important aspect of the ad where it appeals to its audience’s emotions by accessing a current situation in the United States and by promoting certain values like optimism, humanity, and unity. It shows various ways people enjoy their product and how it brings them together despite their cultural differences like riding horses, going to the movie theater with friends, going to the beach, dancing, spending time with family, etc. Last of all, logos is represented at the end of the commercial where the company’s logo and slogan are
It’s commonly known as the emotional appeal. For example in the ad, the old man misses his past as an astronaut. He’s sits in his couch and thinking about the great life that he had before. It’s very relatable because you have those moments where you think to yourself I wish I can go back to this day because it was the best day of my life. For the old man, it was when he first flew into space.
The different environments and situations exhibit that everybody is diverse, yet equal. The scene with the puppy and another scene where a father and his young daughter ask Google what sound a whale makes, are especially heart-melting. The other way in which the commercial attracts success is by using micropropaganda. A catchy melody plays all throughout the length of the video.
Still being humorous, the commercial also uses ordinary looking people as a way to persuade the audience to buy their product. It tries to show the audience that it is a practical product by having the actors wearing regular clothes participate in events that many do from day to day such as: working, spending time with family, even stretching out to patients in a hospital. It uses ethos by implying that people like the audience are all going to be buying the cheese. With comical commercials like this they are able to involve the audience in advertising. One of the most powerful sources of advertisement is social media when people go onto a social media website like Facebook the most common genre of videos being shared and posted are comedy.
