The Government Employees Insurance Company, commonly called GEICO, and Esurance Insurance Services are two auto insurance companies in the United States. In their commercial, GEICO features a piglet, by the name of Maxwell, attempting to obtain a driver’s license. He then shows a clerk his insurance information on his cell phone and gets his picture taken. The ad closes with a narrator stating how much money could be saved from switching to GEICO from other auto insurance providers. On the other hand, the Esurance commercial features an elderly lady showing her friends pictures on her wall.

Commercial Essay: Froot Loops This ad is for Froot Loops, it shows Toucan Sam in the beginning in front of a horrifying, abandoned house.

GEICO’s advertisement, which can be found in Men’s Health November 2016 issue, targets car owners through the use of several tactics by means of segmented marketing, hooking the audience, and appealing to their desires. GEICO is the second largest and one of the fastest growing private auto insurance companies in the United States (GEICO, 2016), who aim to reach their target audience through the imagery of a stack of cookies in the hopes of the consumer to correlate the greed and desire received from the food imagery used, in place of the experience provided by insuring your car through GEICO.

Since it is Autumn season, Burt’s Bees created a new pumpkin spice chapstick favor to add to their collection. Although this ad that I saw is just another sponsored social media advertisement that everyone gets to see, I believe that Burt 's Bees did it right by creating a relevant to everyone spin on their new product and the advertisement that goes with it (pumpkin spice chapstick and pumpkin covered ad). Everyone is in love with the fall time in different ways and the festive pumpkin flavors that go with it, so seeing such advertisement made me happy and in need for one of those pumpkin chapsticks just because I simply love fall and the holidays it brings. In between of watching the new MTV love show called “Are you the One?” I came across
In the smoking advertisement by CDC, the message that they are trying to get across is the effects of smoking on people’s lives and health. As commonly known, tobacco is one of the most dangerous drugs in the world; thus, tobacco kills between six and eight million Americans annually. By having Terrie Hall tell her story and show all the ways that smoking has affected her life drastically. Most of the commercials take place in Terries hospital room where she does not have a wig on or her dentures. Terrie persuades the audience that smoking has truly ruined and changed her life forever.
During this time period, anti-tobacco activists were just starting to make claims that cigarettes were bad for your health and because older people were already hooked on the products, the cigarette companies needed to convince the new smokers to either start or to continue smoking. Therefore they used a member of society who everyone listens to and trust for health advice, a doctor, to persuade readers to start smoking Camel cigarettes. I believe that this advertisement does successfully appeal to the audience because if what is stopping people from buying cigarettes is the health risks, then the doctors endorsing the product eliminates that risk. Since Camel is also the brand most trusted by doctors, the audience is more likely to purchase from that brand over

In first glance of the Grey Goose “Fly Beyond” ad, the asymmetrical balance and positioning of the product catch your attention. The Grey Goose bottle setup is shifted slightly to the right on a marble slab table, while the accompanying text is placed overhead on the upper left, creating harmony and unity — evenly distributing the ad’s content. Paying attention to the colours, there are no outstanding or unfitting colors that seem out of place. The colours mainly found in the ad — grey, white, and different shades of blue, are heavily exaggerated in the table’s contents and in both the background hues and text color as well. With the use of shallow depth of field, the ad executes heavy use of contrast.
Tinkler argues cigarette advertisements aimed at women were preoccupied with establishing smoking as a feminine practice. In the 1930s, smoking was utilised to signify that women were “modern”. One brand specifically aimed at the female market used the strapline ‘Red Tips for Red Lips’ a marketing notion that the inclusion of a red tip prevented lipstick marking the cigarette and thus enabled men to ‘preserve their beautiful illusions….’ . In promoting their products to women the aim was to create a notion that smoking was a practice that appealed to modern, fashionable, successful, middle-class femininity. However, despite gift-wrapping cigarettes as an embellishment to the female persona smoking was perceived as causing soreness to the
