Coca-Cola Advertisement This Coca-Cola advertisement implies that you will feel a cool and refreshing sensation when you drink Coca-Cola. The rain pouring in the background delivers a calm and soothing vibe to the viewers. Rain is used to symbolize the tone of a setting or an emotion. Usually, rain would make you feel sad and depressing, but since the lighting in the back is bright and it's illuminating the rain kind of makes you feel happy and relaxed in a way. The way that the advertise uses the lighting shows us that even on the boring and rainy days, your day will always light up when you drink a bottle of Coca-Cola. The use of the umbrella was a great way to create more

The models' face is also giving us a seductive look. This helps the ad by luring in the reader and making us want to drink the Coca-Cola. The color of the straw that the model is using to drink the Coca-Cola with is red and white. White is often used to symbolize perfection and goodness. Mixing the color white with the color red infers that the Coca-Cola is so good that you will be in a state of perfection. The bottle that the drink is in is transparent, which represents ourselves when we are hungry and on an empty stomach. The bottle however, is filled with Coca-Cola and this shows the reader that when drinking this beverage, it will fill you up. The umbrella which the model is holding to protect herself from the rain is red. This represents the love that you will get from drinking the beverage will protect you from feeling sad. In Asian culture, the color red represents luck and since there is so much red in the advertisement, it tells us that having Coca-Cola will make you have luck on your side. The color of the models' jean jacket is light blue which contrasts with the red. The color light blue produces a calming effect. This advertisement is trying to convey the fact that drinking Coca-Cola will make you feel calm both mentally and physically. When combining both the color blue and red, we get purple. Purple symbolizes luxury and is a rare color in
With any commercial in today’s society they are always trying to get you to buy their product in any way possible. You should think about three key things throughout the commercial. One being what is the product, two is how the product performs, and finally how is the company behind the product is trying to pull you in and but their product. The company will use three appeals, these are Ethos, Pathos, And Logos. While logos in a commercial will have a more logical approach, Ethos will have a trustworthy approach, and finally Pathos will impact most people due to the emotional approach.
First, ethos, pathos, and logos are different ways used to convince the audience or the consumer. In this ad, the company Gatorade use the method ethos, which is using a professional or celebrity. Gatorade used Mike Jordan, the most known athletes in the world. The reason why companies choose famous people as celebrity or athletes to appear on their ads is, because famous people have fans, when their fans watch their favorite person promoting for product, some of the fans, if it not most of them, will be willing to give it a try. When Mike Jordan announced that the flavor Citrus Cooler is his favorite flavor, the sales scored high numbers, and it brought good broft, furthermore, the flavor Citrus Cooler made it to the top ten best Gatorade
The pace of the song symbolizes the positive effect the water donation program has on America. It is slowed down and sung with a more delicate voice than the original to further set a mood. Many words do not need to be spoken because it makes the few words of text at the end, “Whenever you need us, we’ll stand by you”, more impactful. This commercial is as simple as their mission: help people in
The repetition of the phrase “puppy, monkey, baby” for numerous times helped stick with the audience. Additionally, it emphasizes the uniqueness of the drink and allows the reader to remember the catchy song. Symbolism, being another technique, was also present in the commercial, the symbol being the hybrid animal. The hybrid animal represents a hybrid drink containing three things that should not associate with each other but end up working well together. Understanding that symbolism greatly emphasizes the importance of the drink’s concept.
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
While there are different shades of blue, royal blue is a prominent theme throughout the advertisement, which is signified with elegance, intelligence and superiority. The colours grey and white are also seen throughout various portions of the ad, such as the table, the bottle and box, and in the text and borders. The colour grey helps build a sense of “coolness” to the product. Grey is essentially visualized as a neutral tone that is often tied to power and conservativeness—which suggests that Grey Goose is traditional and an old-fashioned drink that's been around for a long time. The use of ice in the scene also help build onto this theme, suggesting that the product is “cool”, while also suggesting freshness.
Though most of the image consists of darkness, there is a little bit of light contrasting from the dark. The light colors in the background gives some happiness as well as giving an image of life. Logos also plays a great part in the advertisement by showing the statue of an angel giving CPR to the grave. The angel is representing the texts: “Help before it’s too late,” and “Attend first aid training.” The overall image that an audience gets from the angel giving CPR to the grave, is that it’s too late because the person in the coffin has already died.
The whole advertisement is a form of Pathos. The advertisement is appealing to the emotions of women watching it. The advertisement uses visual appeals to make the women want to do what all the other women are doing. The use of persuasion is very apparent in the Coke advertisement from 1953.
Finally, the ad uses Ethos, which is the credibility and the way it comes across to the audience, as its strongest persuasion technique. Taylor Swift is the Ethos that the ad uses. They want the viewers of the ad to see that if Taylor Swift drinks milk, they should, also, and then they could have the chance of becoming like
Dywane Wade This advertisements claim is that if someone drinks Gatorade, he or she will be as athletic as Dwayne Wade. The ad is persuasive because Dwayne Wade is one of the most athletic and skilled basketball players in the NBA, and he drinks Gatorade, so others feel that if they drink Gatorade that in return they will be just as athletic. Most people may not believe the ad to that extent, however they will at least realize the fact that if a professional athlete is using the product it must be a good decision. Gatorade made the advertisement effective because of its logical appeal, and since Dwayne Wade is a well known basketball player, and he drinks Gatorade other athletes may feel the need to as well. The color red is used a lot in this advertisement.
The second ad I will discuss is one we all know and love it is the Christmas Coke advert. When this ad returns to our TVs every year we know it really must be coming close to Christmas. Coke being one the #1 selling soft drink brands in the world did not get here by chance they have used ingenious marketing strategies for over a century. Coke continues to brand itself as a delicious and fun brand with many different campaigns throughout the years such as ‘Share a Coke’ and ‘Open Happiness’. The brand focuses on the idea of bringing people together to enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
However, it’s not like Coca-Cola needs to sell more drinks. Why should they bother advertising at all, when people would undoubtedly buy their products regardless? Well, the drink - and, consequently, the brand - has been around since 1886. Companies don’t survive that long without both quality products and consistent, effective advertising. This ad is just one of the hundreds, if not thousands of Coca-Cola advertisements that wants people to associate Coca-Cola with love, happiness, and family.
Geographic segmentation calls for dividing the market into different geographical units such as regions, cities, or neighborhood. Coca-Cola has a countrywide network of product distribution but the company segments more in urban and suburban areas as compared to rural areas. 1.2. Demographic segmentation In demographic segmentation, the market is divided into groups on the basis of variables such as age, family life cycle, gender, income, occupation, education, religion, race, generation, nationality, and social class. Demographic variables are the most popular base of Coca-Cola Company for distinguishing their customer groups.
3.1 Explain how products are developed to sustain competitive advantage There are three levels of coca cola’s products. They are core product, actual product and augmented product. Core product Coca cola’s products are high quality standards for the customer.
A large proportion of people do not consume the minimum recommended daily servings of milk products. This problem has created a nationwide stir for increasing milk consumption and persuading more people to pick milk over other beverages. One such product is the “Got Milk” campaign, which uses celebrities to encourage younger customers to buy more milk products. “Got Milk?” campaign launched in 1993 by the California Milk Processor Board, which is funded by dairy products. The purpose of this campaign was to counter falling sales of milk in the U.S. as consumers were switching to health drinks, sports beverages, soft drinks, and other beverages.
