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.
Throughout the seventies smoking cigarettes was one of America’s favorite past times considering it was “cool” and “in fashion”. One of the biggest and popular cigarette brands of the time was Benson and Hedges, and their newest product branches were Benson and Hedges 100’s, the cigarettes being advertised. Advertising provides a direct line of communication to existing and prospective customers about a product or service. The purpose of advertising is to coerce customers to become aware of the product or service and to draw customers to a business.
During this time, cigarette companies exploited the popularity and appeal of many stars to attract customers and create brand loyalty. Chesterfield exercised use of pathos to attract customers. Using the persona of “Say Hey Willie,” Chesterfield created appeal for their product. Soliciting logic through logos, Chesterfield alludes that their product is better for the consumer than other brands. By using the face of pop culture and claiming that their product is healthy, Chesterfield generated appeal through pathos and
Almost 17% of the adult population in the United States smoke cigarettes. Smokers are more likely to develop heart disease, stroke, lung cancer or blindness. Cigarettes smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, so there are ranges of advertisements showing the harmful effects of cigarettes, and always telling people to do not smoke it, either by images, statistics or phrases. Among all advertisements that shocks, there is one in particular that it was not necessary a single word on it to do that. This ad is a colorful one that was created by the Roy Castle which is a lung cancer foundation, and was released on December 2007 on magazines and newspapers in the United Kingdom.
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. Additionally, GEICO strives to target customers through attempting to cater to their needs with the intended end goal of persuading them to choose GEICO
The Mt Franklins ‘’add a little sparkle’’ and Solos ‘‘legend of the lemon tree’’ advertisements are both trying to sell their drink products. Solo is a soft drink company and its mainly advertised as being a very manly product. It has been this way for decades, In comparison to the Mt franklin company’s ad that only advertisers water in a feminine way.
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
With the alarming number of smokers, agencies spend billions of dollars every year on anti-smoking advertisements. Anti-smoking agencies enlighten audiences of the negative consequences of smoking and try to persuade them to stop. The visual I chose to analyze is a commercial engendered by an anti-smoking agency called Quit. The advertisement, “quit smoking commercial” shows a mother and a son walking in a busy airport terminal. Suddenly, the mother abandons the child, and after he realizes he is alone, he commences to cry.
2 page writing assignment #2 Advertisements are becoming increasingly prominent across all forms of media. In the 1970’s, the average American was exposed to an average of 500 advertisements a day, whether that be via newspaper, billboard, TV ad, or any other form of media available then. Now with the implementation of the internet, that number has skyrocketed to over 5000. I love to make a joke that the hardest working process on my computer isn’t the video editor or the compiler, but the adblocker.

In life there are two types of people, successful ones and unsuccessful ones. The average person wants to be successful, no one wants to be a failure, everyone wants to succeed. People have different ways of representing success, but they all have the same meaning. To become successful, most people are told to do the simple things because people want simplicity in life. This motto is used in just about every profession like sports or designing something.
Doritos have been around for almost 50 years. It all started when Frito-Lay founder, Elmer Doolin, persuaded Walt Disney to open a Mexican restaurant called Casa de Fritos in Frontierland of Disneyland. During that time, the food for the food venues would be delivered by truck to the venue from a company called Alex Foods. The company was established by Alex Morales, a Sonoran immigrant who took his small business of selling tamales from a wagon and turned it into a multi-million dollar empire. Casa de Fritos would receive routine deliveries of tortillas and taco shells from Alex Foods to use for their restaurant.

Advertisement two: Calvin Klein is a dark-full colour advert, for Calvin Klein Jeans advertisement (Figure II). Nudity combined with the body position and body language make this a highly sexual ad and a solid reason for its inclusion in the study. The Calvin Klein advertisement features a woman with a nude torso positioned on top of man with a nude torso. The visual elements presented in the second ad by Calvin Klein create visual texture; the ocean/rocks surrounding the human figures creates a frame focusing the eye on the bodies in the centre. The woman’s fixated body pulling away from the male model attracts the viewer down her arm, to her waist pointed at the logo at the bottom of the page (right-hand-side).
