417 Words2 Pages

Waitrose’ s recent black and white Christmas advertising campaign “snowed in”, created by advertising agency Adam & Eve/DDB has been released across social media channels, from websites to cinemas. A story book “Let It Snow” has also been created along with the television campaign. Waitrose focuses on the message of “Christmas together”, and highlights the essential role that food play in bringing the community together and evoking the community spirit. This analysis will focus on the intended audience, message, key themes and channel used by Waitrose, as well as evaluating how the campaign can be improved.

Intended Audience

Waitrose’ s Christmas campaign has a clear demographic on both male and female from age 35 to 65 in the middle and working class, which are categories B-C2 …show more content…

This is a habit that British adults and old people can refer to, which makes the campaign appealing to “full nest 2”, “empty nest” and “retirement” according to Rowley’s “life stage” model (1997). David Fraser commented that “this is an ad that is aimed squarely and exclusively at Waitrose's core customer - middle England, a little older and families” (Smith, 2017). So it can be argued that Waitrose’ s intended audience are people who have a stable living environment and disposable income. Teenagers are not a part of their targeted audience, so technological elements are hardly involved in their television campaign. It can be understood as people in early life stage, such as “single living with parents” or “single in rented/shared accommodation” are not normally responsible for hosting Christmas dinner and purchasing Christmas food. Young adults are also more likely to go to retailers which featuring price advantage for food instead of Waitrose. Overall it can be seen that Waitrose’ s campaign was designed for a clear target market and intended

Campaigns that make effective use of integral icons, along with brands to create the unconventional, often become most prominent and memorable to the audience. This stands the case in “Bell Canada’s Remembrance Day: Poppy” commercial. While exploring the Canadian identity generated by the non-verbal campaign, I initially experienced a sentimental display that this brand carries. This campaign in its striking style, notably unveils an honorable tribute to all the veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces (Bell Canada, 2015). Initially, the ad conveys the short story of a young girl who notices a veteran dressed in a Legion uniform, selling poppies.

Advertisers will always try to target the younger audience since there is more of them other than the older audience. When kids see something bright or hear something repetitive then the kids will remember it which causes them to end up buying the product when in the store. Parents want what's right for their kids so if the kid really wants that cereal or item the parents will buy it so the kids requests will be fulfilled. In the ad when saying part of a delicious breakfast, then parents will immediately wanna buy the product because they want their child to be healthy.

Companies are constantly looking for new strategies to leave a lasting impression on their target audience in the ever-changing advertising world. They employ various techniques to do this, including using rhetorical appeals such as ethos, pathos, and logos. Coca-Cola’s "Share a Coke" campaign, which debuted in 2013 and has since grown to be one of the brand's most effective marketing techniques, is one example of a successful marketing campaign that employed similar appeals (Glavey, 2019). These rhetorical arguments were employed by the "Share a Coke" campaign to urge its audience to buy and dispense Coca-Cola goods, nurturing a sense of community and togetherness around the brand. In this paper, I will examine how the "Share a Coke" campaign

Many advertisements target a specific group of consumers whether it be classified through gender, age group, or those that share similar interests. Companies try to create advertisements that leave a lasting impression of a certain product so that it can resonate in a consumer’s mind. Often, companies shape an advertisement based on the type of customers they want to attract. For example, McDonald 's, a fast food chain is likely to target children than adults. By attracting children, there is a likely chance that the children will will insist their parents or grandparents to bring them to the restaurant, which ultimately for the restaurant is about making thrice the profit.

Though teenagers are more mature than young adolescents, it would seem that even young adults and teens are unaware that they are being used to gain money for companies. Many people may consider teenagers as kids, but advertisers see kids and teens ONLY as a profit. How and why do advertisers do this to kids and teens people may ask. Well let me explain why and how advertisers treat, specifically, teens as a separate ‘target audience.’ Advertisers heard in the 1950’s that teenagers had disposable incomes, and have used that information to make money.

The primary goal of the ad is to encourage and persuade the audience of Georgia Southern to purchase and enjoy Starbucks’ autumn seasonal beverages. The takeaway, “Get Ready… to FALL in LOVE Again,” explicates the products’ association with fall and stimulates the strong emotion of love. The importance of the takeaway resides within the implicit information given: the products are predominantly offered during the fall season and are desirable (as depicted in our advertisement). Visual clues to support the takeaway dwell within the poster’s digital sketches of the beverages, images of the autumnal leaves, and warm color palette. Specifically, the “LOVE” of the takeaway and the visually pleasing sketches of the products spawn a sense of ecstasy,

A marketing strategy I designed for Deluxe Chips is to push the advertisement to target the middle-aged consumer. Additionally, I would support the push by suggesting to motivate middle facilitators to sell their product down to the consumers as quick as possible. This could be done by having key representatives speak to manufacturers and distributors and retailers (Ferrell, Hirt & Ferrell, 2012). It would key to ensure that products are readily available to the users to provide quickly the healthier alternative. It goes without saying that Deluxe Chips needs to do a test marketing in an area that there is a remarkable amount of middle-aged adults.

Hi everybody, I would like to talk you about what are the communication objectives that we thinks the campaign should achieve. The first one is perception. As Homestyle’s key problem is that it is a new brand for the Australian market, it is important that the target audience becomes aware and remember of its products and its brand identity. For that reason, the second objective is association. Homestyle needs to establish its brand identity trough symbolic connections to characteristics, qualities and lifestyles that represent it and differentiate it from the competitors.

Another reason is that advertisers know that teens are gullible, so when they advertise to them, it is helping their company because they are buying their products. Knorr Caroline (2014) has the idea that advertisers focus on targeting teens because they ask celebrities to advertise for them, which is obviously going to capture the viewers attention, considering that if they claim to love a product and persuade well enough, they should be sure to buy it as well. A fact is that teens have a lot of social media accounts, and since advertising is all over social media, teens can’t help but be interested in that. In addition to that, most of the foods that come in boxes or containers often have celebrities, or t.v show pictures to attract teenagers and/or kids. All of these sneaky ways causes the teens to want to buy the product, and that is how corporations earn money.

Unilever’s personal care brand Dove was chosen since it was the first to show women in advertisements as they were. Their posters and TV commercials challenge stereotypes and draw attention to the distorted idea of how a woman has to look like. A small selection of former and recent advertisements were chosen to show the development in the brand’s marketing strategies. Since the focus of this paper will be on the representation of women, only advertisements including women are to be analyzed but still they are assumed to be characteristic of the brand’s advertising during that
