Tobacco Smoking Campaign Analysis

Improved Essays
The campaign relies on connecting with individuals who have high willingness and ability to think about persuasive information. The campaign doesn’t only provide individuals with facts that need to be though through and understood, they also provide advertisements with a strong message that required the ability to think. Truth is a counter-marketing campaign. One of their goals is to attack tobacco companies through advertisements. Their advertisements places the audience in relevant scenarios, where they have to reconsider their decisions. They are also high in symbolism and in creating the fear factor through their advertisements. Overall, even though some of their advertisements are common sense and easy to understand, most required individuals …show more content…
As I have said before, Truth focusses on those who are at risk of initiating tobacco use and lacks support for those individuals who already smoke. For individuals who are already smokers, the belief that it is difficult to change can have a strong influence on their decisions. Improving information about how to quit on the Truth website can help those who smoke learn about the processes of quitting. Another way they might reduce the difficulty belief among smokers, is by creating a section of the website that is reserved for smokers. This way individuals who smoke can feel supported by knowing that they are not alone, which can help further cultivate Truth’s anti-tobacco …show more content…
For frequency, I would give it a 10, because the campaign is constantly updating all their social media accounts as well as their website. They also air commercials on TV and have Truth tours throughout the country. For contrast I would give it a 9, because they are really good in releasing advertisements that are though provoking and stick out, however they also release advertisements that are just words, which doesn’t always evoke the same feelings as an image would. However, they might still capture the audience with just words, so I still consider it

    Advertisements are deceiving; cigarette companies use them to target consumers of different social statuses, race, and ages. The majority of the ads portray an image that makes the consumer believe that if they use their product they will look or be as happy as the person shown in the ad. Yet many ads do not show the side effect that their product can have or the effect it can cause on the consumers health. For example in my ad, it tries to convince young adults to buy Newport cigarettes. The ad targets young adults of all races, making them believe that if they smoke Newport cigarettes they will look as healthy, have a good time, and be cool around their friends and peers when in reality it is not true, therefore this ad is ineffective.…

    In this analysis, Melissa Rubin explains the perceptions and realities of advertisements to its consumers. The specific question that Rubin states is “How do they persuade us?” Rubin provided great description throughout the article, she says the companies include text and images that appeal to us and almost say that it is perfect for us or that we should believe in it. In the advertisement there is a “larger than life” Coca Cola vending machine with a bright blue sky and the “Sprite Boy” to pop out and get the consumers attention. Rubin’s language was very clear and precise, although this topic did not need a large vocabulary she was sure to explain things.…

    Advertisements are always full of propaganda, that's how they try to get you to buy their product. They bend the truth, or try to make things seems appealing. This is never more true than in the cigarette ads of the mid 1900’s. At first glance you can already see how things are warped, simply because we were taught better, but back then they didn’t know. It wasn’t until these ads were outlawed in some places that we began to see how false they really were.…

    Vintage Camel cigarette advertisements appealed to middle class women and men by luring them in with the idea that smoking was healthy, and resulted in an elevated social status. While implying tobacco soaked in poisonous chemicals was healthy and attractive was irresponsible, to say the least, the big tobacco companies got away with it for several years. So how did Camel convince consumers to overlook the hidden dangers of smoking? Creating a campaign based on appeal, logic, and surveys, compelled consumers to accept misleading information, and contributed to their advertising success. Vintage Camel cigarette advertisements used a variety of rhetorical strategies to successfully build what remains a multi-billion dollar industry today.…

    Once every four years, many of the standard television advertisements are replaced with something much worse: political campaign ads. There are many different types of campaign ads. Among them are characters ads, which serve to establish the good character of a candidate, bandwagon ads, which serve to convince the public that a candidate is best choice because many other people are voting for them, and evidence ads, that use facts to convince the public that a candidate is the best choice for office. There is, however, one type of ad that sparks more controversy than any of the others, the attack ad.
