Billy Mays was a Television Actor in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Mays created a style of advertisement used by many, changing the field of advertisement, and He once said, "You know what, rip me off once, shame on me, but twice? I'm coming after you and taking back what's mine." Billy Mays was someone who believed that people should know what they are buying, and didn’t rip people off. He died in 2009 from a heart attack, but since then, Billy Mays has been remembered in the silly way the internet remembers things they love, memes. Billy Mays created a style of advertisement that is commonly used today, stating facts about his product, plus giving examples and visuals. He started every commercial with his signature, “Hi, Billy Mays
here with [INSERT PRODUCT],”. People admired his commercials, smiled as he came onto their screens. Many were very sad when they discovered that Billy Mays had died, as he was a fun salesman. (The Telegraph Online, August 8, 2009). ` Mays changed the field of advertisement by created a new style, as said in the “create” paragraph. Many people use this style, such as showing how it works, and showing it does work, but there were also people who would add deals to lure people in when their product didn’t work exactly as they had planned. My main man Billy over here was all like “Nah, that’s cheap,” and he threw it out the window. (Not exact words; don’t get triggered) William Darrell “Billy” Mays Jr. changed the world, as he appeared all around the world, and by that I mean the United States. He was a fun dude man bro guy, with his enthusiastic tone in each commercial, making people laugh, persuading them to buy the products. If a man lists off facts about the product with a face like a Subway employee who only works there for money, then people won’t want to buy the product. Lying for money isn’t exactly fun, or nice, as were Mays’s thoughts. He made his way from selling “as seen on TV” items on a boardwalk (“Wikipedia,” 2017) to television sets. All in all, Billy Mays was a fun person and changed the world of advertisement for good.

Many people may think that creating a success advertisement is easy. That you can simply throw compelling facts and bright colors at an audience and it will grab their attention compelling them to buy your product. However, this is not this case. The advertisement needs to reach the viewer on multiple levels. A vintage Camel cigarette advertisement from 1946 does just that. It is a great representation of the complexity of creating a successful campaign.
Late night driving home, and a strange man is on the side of the road with an axe, but hey, he has Bud Light so why not offer him a ride? In this video ad of Bud Light a couple is lost at night in what seems the middle of nowhere. Seeing a man with an Axe carrying Bud Light Case, the male seeing that he has Bud Light wants to offer him a ride; they pull over and he gets in the car. A glass and bottle of Bud Light appears and the words “Always Worth It” displayed (Viral 0:24). Later, they run in to a mask man with a chain saw and is also carrying Bud Light, and so the male again was to offer him a ride and leads to the commercial ending (Viralstuff 0:28). In this ad, it attracts a white male, and female audience that has low income, and between the ages of 21 and 30, which makes sense because Bud light sell more to Hispanic males that have low income rate, and are between the age of 55-65 (Bud Light Consumer). The commercial will try to persuade you using ethos, logos and pathos. The ad shows that avid Bud Light drinkers will in
In this generation businesses use commercial to persuade different types of audiences to buy their product or to persuade them to help a certain caused. If you analyze commercial you can see how certain things play a major role in the success of a commercial. The ad I decide to analyze as an example is the commercial snickers used during the Super Bowl in 2010;”Betty White”-Snickers. This commercials starts off with guys playing a game of football with an elderly women know as Betty White. As Betty White tries to play football she is tackled to the ground. Her teammates refer to her as Mike when they come up to her to ask why she has been “playing like Betty White all day”. This helps inform the audience that Betty White is not actually playing but instead represent another teammate. As the guys keep arguing Mikes girlfriend calls her over and tells her to eat a snicker. Betty White takes the first bite and then suddenly a man appears in her place ready to finish the game. At the end of the commercial the statement "You're not you when you're hungry" is shown followed by the Snickers bar logo. What this commercial is trying to show is that hunger changes a person, and satisfying this hunger can change you back to your normal self. They use different types
During John F. Kennedy’s political campaign, there were many issues present that the candidate had to address: there was tension due to the communist threat, tension among American citizens due to the Civil Rights movement, and a recent recession that was very sluggish in recovering. Relating to these issues President Kennedy’s slogan was “getting America moving again”; these topics are addressed in a fast and effective manner in his minute-long television ad that was endorsed by the group: Citizens for Kennedy-Johnson. This ad was the best way to reinforce President Kennedy’s stance on the emergence of a new frontier. He was able to depict himself as a man of change and new beginnings due to his fresh perspective and young age which was a
Lansdowne Resor hailed as “one of the most outstanding women in American life” in J. Walter Thompson Company’s 1964 press release still struggles for the recognition for her work in advertising. The question remains: if Lansdowne Resor was so influential to the history of advertising, why she is not mentioned in more textbooks or books on the greats of advertising. Many people are able to name notable advertising greats including David Ogilvy, William Bernbach, and Leo Burnett. The gap in the history of advertising and its influential women provide the basis for the importance of research to explain the importance of Lansdowne Resor in advertising history. Lansdowne Resor changed the way advertising is crafted in order to provide a more tailored message to targeted female publics, and in doing, so she created techniques in advertising that are still in use today. Unfortunately, with most of the advertising history being written from the male perspective, it is hard to tell Lansdowne Resor’s story without mentioning her husband and former President of J. Walter Thompson Company, Stanley Burnett Resor. Arguably, Resor became increasingly instrumental to Lansdowne Resor’s life and career. Helen Lansdowne Resor’s tenacity and abilities allowed her to excel in the field of advertising and to help solidify
The Lunchables ad represents Lunchables as “bursting with fun” and implies that children will be happy and enjoy school if they have a Lunchables. Lunchables placed this ad in a magazine to target moms and children to get them to buy their product. They are trying to convey, like most advertisements do according to Croteau and Hoynes (2014), that “happiness and satisfaction can be purchased” (p. 179) if mothers buy their children Lunchables. Lunchables (Lunchables Parents) advertise as being “packed with what kids love” and “giving your kids what they want”. They include a hand tray with a main entrée, drink, and dessert. The brand delivers on the idea of fun and interactivity of building your own meal and “mixing up” your lunch. Lunchables
