Solo Advertisement Analysis

Improved Essays
Mount Franklin “add a little sparkle” and Solo “legend of the lemon tree” are the two ads that I will be comparing. Both companies are drink companies that have two very different people in their ads. Mount Franklin is an Australian water company and Solo is a lemon fizzy drink company. They both target very different audiences; the Mount Franklin ad appeals more to women and the Solo ad appeals more to men. The main contentions of the Solo ad is that you can be a “Solo Man” and that we can to be that everyday joe out in the woods and find this humble, legendary lemon tree. Mount Franklin on the other hand is that the water is all nature and comes from Australia and that you too can look like Jenifer Hawkins if you drink Mount Franklin.
Both ads have similarities as well as differences. They both use music, to either get you feel like you can escape from city life and escape to a more natural life or to make you feel excited and they make the song catchy to make you remember this ad. They both use the persuasive technique of both of the lead roles drink either the Mount Franklin or the Solo, this is a very good technique because it makes you feel

When these two ads put their different persuasive techniques together, it is truly magical what they can do. Like Mount Franklin using Jennifer Hawkins the supermodel as a clear sex appeal for men and women. Using the messages of the ads you can see that the brands have put a lot of thought into the ads. You see with Solo that it is not your ordinary ad they have a chase scene squished into a 30 second ad. The differences of the ads may seem extraordinary different, but they are quite similar, the similarities are related as well because you think that once you strip away their colours and the models, the ads are just about the product but, you add in the colours and the models the whole dimension of the ad

    Evidence of this is in the color scheme, the sounds and the general ambiance. Before anything else there is a black screen with dark sharp letters introducing the premise of the ad. The only bright colors are in the pack of gum drawing your eye to it. The commercial moves between being excessively loud and a quiet calm. For example, it at first seems chaotic and random invoking the feeling of curiosity, the first time a consumer watched it they were tempted to watch the entire thing because it was radically different from what they have seen before.…

    The funniest difference between the ads is that you can tell when the cigarette companies had to put health labels on their ads. In the 1979 Camel ad, it had a warning that this cigarette is bad for your health. Meanwhile, the 1940s Camel ad didn’t have these warnings. It was quite the opposite the 1940s Camel ad had what Jib Fowles would call “A need to feel safe appeal”. The 1940s Camel ad describes their product as the cigarette most consumed by doctors.…

    Examining Commercial Advertising Advertisements are everywhere we go and almost on everything we know. Yet advertisements portray men and women very differently. They also affect men and women more than some people realize. The films, Miss Representation, Killing Us Softly 4, and Tough Guise 2 really thoroughly discussed the problems and effects of advertisements for both men and women. Advertisements can portray women as sexual objects with ideals of beauty, and men as powerful.…

    Although it might be hard to see at first, these two POM Wonderful advertisements are actually fairly similar. These two different advertisements actually use some of the same strategies to attract the reader's attention and get the consumer interested in their product even though they are of a different medium. The first advertisement uses a printed image that shows simple colors and a strong message to encourage people to buy their product because it gives them antioxidants; however, the second advertisement uses a powerful dragon made out of their “crazy healthy” juice to create the illusion that the juice is as powerful as a dragon, yet the advertisement still sends the same message and same audience but uses a different strategy. These two…

They notice that others are getting the product and are satisfied.

    In the article “What We Are to Advertisers”, James B. Twitchell argues that “advertising is not just to brand parity objects but also to brand consumers” (182). Rosser Reeves, a skilled advertiser, tried to convince different groups of people that quarters had meaning and value. The consumer’s view of products is called positioning.

    These athletes are more than likely to share this ad on their social platforms which have millions of followers and active engagements by the second. Although celebrities are expensive to bring in for advertising purposes, in the long run, the price pays off for the outcome. It is important as a company to understand who their target market is, however they also need a plan of who they would like to bring in to their current target market. We believe Mountain Dew understands that their target market is on the younger spectrum of 18-25 year olds, however they do a fabulous job of mixing in cultural references from past years and fusing them with current events and or celebrities that their consistent consumers will relate to.
