Marilyn Monroe Ad Analysis

Decent Essays
The vintage Ad I chose was the 1986 Maxell tape Ad. “The tape that lasts as long as the legend”. The ad had a solid blue back ground with a yellow and pink lines outlining Marilyn Monroe’s picture. Marilyn Monroe’s gorgeous face can be seen clearly on the ad the yellow eyeshadow and the red lips instantly catch the views attention. I believe that the ad was targeted more so for men due to the sensual picture of Marilyn Monroe that they chose. The ad also states how even after 29 films Marilyn remained the delicious dessert and the fantasy of all men. I can understand what they were trying to say by the reference of the delicious dessert, however it is kind of funny how they are comparing a human to something that is meant to be eaten. Maxell

    There seems to be a lot of direct and indirect messages at play in the ad, the messages have a way of catching the attention of the customers with the ad’s face value and subliminal messages. At times you may have made a purchase, whether it be small or big, and wondered why you bought it. In the advertising industry, it would make sense to go to some extremes to be the company that is remembered over the rest of the competition the creators of this ad seemed to have these extremes in spades. The strategy of the Old Spice ad was to go in many different directions such as, the comparison between who you might be and who you want to be.

    Advertisement companies usually try to catch the eye of the viewer with extreme types of ads. Two companies come to mind when people think of controversial ads, Carl’s Junior and Old Spice. On the one hand, Carl’s Junior tries to sell a wonderful looking sandwich with an attractive girl who is always eating it seductively, and then we have Old Spice whose main spokesman is a buff-looking God trying to sell deodorant or shampoo. These ads always catch our attention because of how attractive these people are, and both ads are mostly catering to men because it is physically appealing to them. These big ad agencies always try to shock you by displaying these ads and as a result more and more people start to purchase that product.…

    In this Ad by Pearl Izumi, it is advertising their product which is supposed to make you run so fast it will tire your dog to death. They show a white man dressed in running athletic attire and a dog. This setting contributes to the Ad in the process of them being outdoors maybe on a run or something. Pearl’s message is entirely used in the wrong context saying what they're advertising (the shoes) will tire your dog out to the point where they will be dead even if the human is still running. In addition just by looking at it the lower title says,”run longer” and the dog is dead and the human is just supposed to run longer..???…
