Michelob Advertisement Analysis

Great Essays
As consumers, we have many reasons to believe that we are not effected by advertisement. We go about our normal lives, blind to what the true effects that advertising has on us, in both our physical and mental states.

Many advertiser’s intentions with advertisements is to provoke an emotional response dealing with the senses of taste, success, and in some cases a sexual pleasure. Advertisements are full of riddles and secrets hidden within the page and text and they can be deceiving and, in some cases, deadly. Being built from the ground up by Adolphus Busch, Michelob has …show more content…
Through every single advertisement I have seen from Michelob, they will always have a picture of a man engaged in physical activity right next to the bottle, glass, or can. Michelob has been taking this approach since the very beginning, going all the way back to some of their first advertisements. A 1967 advertisement from Michelob states capitalized and bold “IN BEER, GOING FIRST CALSS IS MICHELOB. PERIOD.” Intentions for the company were to craft a beer made for the very best and only the best and the company has stuck with their motto since, grabbing the pro audience and others who consider themselves to be.
Even though my advertisement doesn’t feature a sport picture that is usually advertised, they still have a phrase that attracts the attention of athletes. “Brewed for those who go the extra mile” says the Michelob Ultra advertisement, and this phrase can be seen from many views. Almost seen as if the advertisement is challenging the public, Michelob Ultra wants people think that it is the beer for only the very best. This “challenge” that the company has created with the consumers will thus bring in more revenue to the company by bringing in the audience that views the advertisement from this

    Then the commercial states its claim, saying that their beer is “for friends that come together to reach for better.” What’s most different is the commercial does what the ad didn’t; they backed up their claim with information. They support their claim by plastering on the screen that Michelob Ultra has only 95 calories and 2.6 carbs. They take it another step also by mentioning multiple times that Michelob ultra is the superior light beer. The claim does pan out, according to beer.underthelabel.com Michelob Ultra has 4 less grams of carbs than a popular competitor, Bud Light.…

    Advertising influences our lives by striking us with imagery and music everytime we turn on the television, tempting us as customers to buy certain products. From our televisions we are constantly being sold on the idea that the best way to achieve the American dream is to buy more and more.

Parkin states that food advertisers constantly return to themes that demonstrate the connection between cooking and women to promote the belief that kitchen work is a job just for women (Parkin).…
