    Each day the average individual living in today’s society gets bombarded with a tsunami of commercials, brand labels, print advertisements, social media advertisements, emails containing marketing campaigns, ads on phones, or any other possible way a company can produce something that grabs one’s attention with the intent to sell. In fact, digital marketing experts estimate that most Americans are exposed to 5,000 advertisements a day. One of these advertisements may be the Jose Cuerovo advertisement published in March of 2017, which uses several of the appeals mentioned and studied in Jib Fowles “Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals”. The alcohol advertisement exploits several qualities within people’s deep-lying desires, which woes the…

    The Onion poked fun at the ways in which products are marketed at consumers using satire. The MagnaSoles article references false logos such as pseudoscience as well other nonscientific terms and concepts to advertise their product. The article also uses faulty logic to try and convince readers that MagnaSoles are great products to buy. Through these strategies, The Onion is implying that other products are marketed ridiculously to consumers. This MagnaSoles advertisement does not put its best foot forward with all of the false logos.…

    This 2016 print advertisement from the London based financial information company taps into the need of people for leisure and calls them to thoughtful action about investments through pathos, logos and irony. The at first glance simple arrangement of a sentence fragment and clock parts creates a competition between money and time to entice adult readers new to the investment world to use the company for financial advice; cultured and expected responses are used in a negative light to engender trust and curiosity about the service. Why did this company invoke a competition between money and time to lure its audience? The ad speaks to resilient cultural constructions, keenly known to new adults, of a good life as consisting of two discrete and paradoxical categories, at once opposed and unified; the money made and time spent making it; and of all relations between the two as an inherent psychological battle for dominance in the observer’s brain. The ad employs a visually competitive framework when not folded out to indirectly prime the reader’s mind to address these underlying tensions.…

    The first advertisement is the Geico ad which is titled, “The Villain Presentation”. This commercial is obviously trying to sell car insurance but is using a different technique.

The first time I saw this advertisement on TV I was so confused and thats what made me watch it all the way through.…

    When a company produces a commercial, their objective is to get their product or whatever their showcasing to sell. Many methods are used to lure an audience being targeted to purchase a product. As you flip through a magazine, you hardly notice advertisements if you are flipping at a constant rate. In the "Jib Fowles Fifteen Basic Appeals Article" it states "A study done a few years ago at Harvard University 's Graduate School of Business Administration ventured that the average American is exposed to some 500 ads daily from television, newspapers, magazines, radio, billboards, direct mail, and so on". Advertisements make billions of dollars throughout each year because of the effect it has on people.…

    While zoning out to our favorite late night television program, we notice a familiar commercial; with the sad, neglected, and abused animals. As much as we try to show no sympathy our heartstrings pull in every direction. However, this advertisement does not want us to feel sympathy, they want us to donate. In fact, they lead us to believe our small donation will make a lasting difference in this animal’s life. Surely, by the end of this advertisement we fight the urge to cry, by giving the ASPCA $18 a month.…

    I believe that animal lovers, pet owners, and anyone who feels the need to nurture or protect others are the intended audience of this advertisement. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) is all about saving animals and ensuring that they are treated humanely. Anyone who cares about animals could appreciate what they are doing, so it makes them the perfect target audience. Additionally, the ASPCA claims that "Animals can't speak for themselves, so it is up to us to do it for them," and "You can help these animals when nobody else will." Those words can be highly persuasive to anyone who has the need to nurture or protect others.…

    This piece will discuss the theory presented in the piece written by Robert Cialdini about how certain factors affect the effectiveness of environmental public service announcements. I will also apply the ideas presented by Cialdini into a real life situation. In Cialdini’s piece, he uses two important real life examples of how public service announcements have proven either successful or proven to have conflicting messages that compete with one another, rendering the overall goal ineffective. As Cialdini writes, there are two types of norms: descriptive norms, which are social norms that are the most commonly acted on and injunctive norms, which are typically approved or disapproved by society.…

    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. The consumer must feel like the product they are buying has value and is better than competing products. I have had experience of witnessing many competing companies that are trying to convince buyers that they have the superior product.…

    “Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals” by Jib Fowles outlines the fifteen different areas in which advertisers try to manipulate the average consumer's mind by showing how they would be happier, accepted more, or better looking if they would buy a certain product. He delves into the structure of advertisement and sets a microscope on how the industry exploits the need for attention, aesthetic sensations, fulfill physical needs and etc by playing on the emotions of the human mind. Fowles states that an advertiser attempts to win the attention of consumers by giving a shape to the people’s deep-lying desire in a manner which they personally wish for. Advertisers make efforts to enforce both implicit and explicit messages in hopes of trying to manipulate consumers’ decisions. I will analyze…

    Coca-Cola has produced thousands of advertisements since the company’s creation with the goal of appealing to a broad range of consumers. Stylistically, Coca-Cola advertisements have changed over time, but their goal remains the same. This paper will use two Coca-Cola advertisements, one released in the United States in 1886 and the other in The Netherlands in May 2015, to discuss the delicate balance between using generalized advertisements compared to a more personalized style. Both of the advertisements advocate for personal satisfaction and a desire to be inclusive. In both cases, they present a range of consumers that can achieve personal happiness.…
