Asyndeton is used to create an easier flow in the sentence to make the writing to have a natural flow of words and stick in the reader’s head. The way asyndeton was effectively used to market pinterest was by saying, “Pinterest is inspirational, fun, easy to use. #Asyndeton” This creates the feeling and a sense of flow and smoothness when reading this ad. This is the feeling that the reader will hopefully associate with pinterest to draw millennials into using it. It also tells them in a very short and simple way the key aspects pinterest wants to focus on, especially when advertising the app and/or

Before the cars collide they come to a halt, and the men get out of the car to talk to each other in an attempt to prevent the crash.…

    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”.…

    Although helping someone may be the right thing to do, it does not always benefit you. In the commercial I chose, there is a teenager running away from a man in a mask who is trying to kill him with an ax. But as the killer is going to hit him his ax falls off, as he walks over to pick it up a gorilla pops out of nowhere. The gorilla gives him Gorilla Glue to glue the ax back on, the teenager walks through the steps to help the killer fix it. Now that the ax is fixed the teenager thinks that he is not going to die anymore, but that's not the case.…

    When it comes to advertising, companies want to be original, but also do not want their originality to be copied. On behalf of Coca-Cola, Ira C.Herbert, in his letter to Mr. R. W. Seaver, addresses the issue Coca-Cola has with Grove Press advertising the phrase "It's The Real Thing". Herbert’s purpose is to ask Grove Press to not advertise their book with their slogan because he believes the slogan belongs to Coca-Cola. Seaver, an executive vice president, explains that their use of the slogan was discussed and came to the conclusion that it will help Coca-Cola in the long run. Whereas Herbert’s letter is formal and argues the point that Coca-Cola is the rightful owner of the slogan, Richard Seaver’s response is more persuasive due to his good humor and reasonable justification for the publishing company to use the slogan.…

    When looking up examples of smart public relations campaigns by companies, one of the more interesting examples that I found was with a company called Innocent Drinks. Looking at the about section of Innocent’s website entitled “our story”, the company sums up both their tone in how they communicate with their audience and what they do by writing “hello we’re innocent …and we're here to make it easy for people to do themselves some good (whilst making it taste nice too),” (our story). The company, which sells a variety of products including smoothies, also continues the tone later by writing “Since then we've started making coconut water, juice and kids' stuff, in our quest to make natural, delicious, healthy drinks that help people live well…
