Brands are notorious for creating commercials that catch the viewer’s attention, even if the product has nothing to do with what may be happening in the commercial. The commercial Extra Gum: The Story of Sarah & Juan, directed by Pete Riski does that. The company implements emotional appeal to pull the audience in and use teens that can relate to what is happening.
The beginning of the commercial takes places at a high school. The song “Can 't Help Falling In Love” by Haley Reinhart, is playing in the background.
