A Better Network
Verizon’s new ‘Better Matters’ ad campaign has centered on very visual descriptions of “independent studies” and how a cellular network operates. While this ad campaign does do a great job of showing the viewer of how Verizon is great in all these categories, it does not show all of the data collected from these “studies”. Overall, I think these commercials really engage the audience visually and are a great marketing tool, but as I will talk about later, other companies will use these commercials against them in a parody fashion.
Analysis
In the ‘Better Matters’ ad campaign by Verizon, they have focused on visually engaging the audience by making very receptive commercials. In one commercial titled ‘A Better Network as Explain by Colorful Balls’ the audience sees 4 rows of balls rolling down a slope, with the red balls signifying Verizon, blue signifying AT&T, yellow signifying Sprint,

In this study you’ll find that a lot of what was researched, favored Verizon. This video caught so much attention that it actually prompted marketing departments from other carriers to make a fact checking commercial, or a response commercial to Verizon’s. In T-Mobiles response video they point out that Verizon funneled millions of dollars into this ‘independent study’ and used data that was over a year old. It does turn out that T-Mobile has upgraded their network significantly in the last year to compete with the ‘Big 4’ which include Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, and itself. So the RootMetrics study might not be reflective of their current standing. If what T-Mobile is stating, that Verizon has funneled millions into this ‘study’, then I don’t believe that we could take all these numbers with 100% certainty. You cannot just expect a company to give you bad results on a study if you are paying them millions of dollars for the study, or else that would be bad

    My friend just purchased the new iPhone 7 and needs to choose a phone carrier. There are two plans to choose from, Verizon and AT&T. I had to figure out which plan would be better, (cheaper), to recommend to my friend. AT&T offered a plan with a $.20 per text charge and a $15 initiation fee, while Verizon offered a plan with a $.10 per text message fee and a $70 initiation fee. I found, by comparing the two plans algebraically, that AT&T would be better if my friend is planning on sending less than 550 texts per month, and Verizon would be better if they are planning on sending more than 550 texts.…

    In terms of Pathos, Verizon's and Sprint's advertisements weren't really emotional. Their ads are not touching or passionate, they had an informative but playful tone. An attempt of pathos in Verizon’s advertisement would try to make the viewers upset at Sprint for exaggerating their coverage. With Sprint constantly saying how their coverage is close to big providers seeing the difference in Verizon’s commercial may cause people to become disappointed and angry. While Sprint commercial stayed formal just giving out facts about the service and the spokesperson.…

    AT&T is the cell phone company that published this advertisement which makes viewers notice the message of the advertisement more. The advertisement is already very moving and once it shows that AT&T published it, it makes the viewers feel cared for. At the very end of this text, AT&T makes a very important statement; “AT&T reminds you, it can wait.” When the phone company says this, it reminds the viewers that AT&T feels strongly about the issue at hand. Logos is present in this advertisement when it states at the end “No post is worth a life, No glance is worth a life, No email is worth a life, No text is worth a life.”…

    T-Mobile is good company for discussion. Consumers certainly know the brand and the quality of coverage, but T-Mobile differentiates its product offering by unlimited text, talk which is no hassle for many consumers who do not travel or spend time in the remote areas. T-Mobile still keeps the price competitive and the price discrimination for the similar product reduces consumer surplus. Companies mostly gain with a monopolistic competition or they will exist, but consumer experience no benefits. Shouldn't' the consumer experience such gain irrespective of their status such as poor or…

    Super Bowl 51 was packed with commercials. Some commercials were funny and others I disliked completely. I did not see all the commercials due to bathroom breaks and refreshments, but the two commercials that stood out the most was the John Malkovich commercial by Squarespace and Justin Bieber by T-Mobile. I will only evaluate the ones I did actually see. I enjoyed the Squarespace commercial the most and the T-Mobile commercial the least.…

    The policy that I have chosen to work with is the proposed ending of net neutrality. Net neutrality is currently in place and denies internet providers from being able to change the speed of service for the internet, overall it allows for a very free and open internet where all websites, big or small, gain access to the same speeds for providing content to users. This means that a huge site like Netflix that has a lot of big content to send out can function at the same speeds as a smaller, maybe less frequented website. If net neutrality were to be ended, internet providers would most likely create a “fast lane” where they would charge websites more to be able to get out their content faster. They could also choose specific websites to slow down service for a variety of reasons.…

    “Google Home”: A Rhetorical Analysis Commercials featured in the Super Bowl must meet a high criterion to be successful. It is essential that these advertisements find the best ways to intrigue the viewer and eventually persuade them to buy the product displayed.
