The image above is one of them, which show a happy women holding her Coca Cola. It shows a women happily looking at her bottle, which is still full with Coca Cola in it.

    Creating Our Own Monsters Using aesthetically appealing vehicles, Dodge creates this advertisement to attract a younger and arguably more reckless crowd to the all new Dodge Hellcat. The commercial begins by playing the unmistakable opening beat to Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight”. The camera pans to a metropolis skyline fully lit up in the darkest of the night, but to be seemingly abandoned. You are shown empty interstates, parking garages, shipyards, and gravel roads, that continue endlessly. The instrumental begins to diminish; the screen fades to black as you hear a gravely male voice comment that “We don’t have to fear monsters anymore, unlike our ancestors”.…

    Choosing what to say and what words to use when advertising is critical to successfully gaining sales and consumer loyalty. The goal of advertising is to make consumers believe in a product and this is where NBB came into confusion with the decision to use the word folly or not in their marketing slogan. Folly’s definition of an act of foolishness, lack of good sense and/or crazy behavior could have been detrimental to the core value that NBB had for itself- drink responsibly. The question then that NBB had to face was “will the consumer feel that we are starting to follow your foolishness”. The use of words can be very misleading in marketing efforts, especially when doing business with other countries.…

    The ad I chose to analyze is the controversial Coca-Cola “America the Beautiful” ad. It was aired during the 2014 Super Bowl. It caused plenty of controversy due to the nature of the ad, which features many different people singing “America the Beautiful” in their native languages. Many believed that that was taboo, since “Americans” and “America” are founded under the language “English.” This is not true, but many were furious that the song was “tainted”, with being sung in a different language.…

    February 1979, a Coca-Cola commercial staring “Mean Joe Greene” aired for the first time and was loved by every American watching. The commercial won a Cilo Award for best advertisement of the year. Thirty-Eight years later it is still believed to be one of the best Super Bowl commercials of all time. Never mind the fact that so many great commercials have been played during the super bowl since 1979, but to be considered by the public as one of the best commercials with the lack of quality and technology they have today is amazing. The author’s main goal was to show that drinking Coca-Cola will make you happy and the creator of this commercial should be praise by the simple yet effective delivery.…

    Although in many situations, it is wise to follow the advice of, “Don’t accept anything from strangers,” this commercial provides an example disproving that theory. By offering a stranger Coca Cola, both the girl gifting the drink and the man receiving it are pleased. People commonly consider Christmas to be the giving season, so by having the girl give the man the gift of Coca Cola, the company is once again relating the brand to the holiday. This shows viewers that Coca Cola is the gift of Christmas. Although the company has been creating specialized Christmas advertisements since the 1920’s (coca-colacompany.com), the claim that Coca Cola is the “Taste of Christmas” is still a bold one.…

If the viewer is not one of the types of men stated in the advertisement, “business, students, wheelmen, athletes, and professional”, then it can be interpreted that Coca-Cola is not the perfect beverage choice (Vintage). It uses names for classes, instead of specific demographics to better isolate a market and be more connected to the market. When a person feels that they are having a connection with another entity, they are more likely to repeat a transaction. Yielding that the vintage advertisement ineffectively relaying the Coca-Cola brand and…
