Ultimately, the goal of advertisement is to target potential buyers and persuade them to purchase their product or services. Some audiences on the other hand, can look past the sales pitch to find a hidden message.
When Coca-Cola comes to mind, naturally one would vision a hot summer day or pairing it up with a few slices of pizza, but this Coca-Cola ad "Brotherly Love" reaches deep to connect the audience with the importance of protecting your family and being loyal to one another.
The sound of soft strings of the guitar and a song sang by Avicii, called "Hey Brother" enhances this ad of the journey of a young boy and his older brother.
The setting begins in the family living room where a young boy is sitting on the couch playing video

Then it changes the scenery to the two boys each wearing a back pack, walking home from school down the street alongside a white picket fence with several houses and trees off in the distance. It is raining, and the older brother is holding an umbrella over them, but quickly walks ahead and rounds the corner leaving the young boy in the rain. To avoid getting wet, he covers his head with his bookbag. To switch gears, the creator of this ad takes the audience back into their home. Initially, the focus is under a table where there are 2 sets of legs, both wearing red Converse shoes with white laces and one boy steps on the other's foot. It quickly flips the camera view to the boys at a table and the young boy "elbows" the older boy and the older boy makes a face as he is scolded by his parents. It is apparent that they are having a family dinner. The shoulders of two additional people are visible. One person is wearing a navy-blue shirt, the other is wearing a mauve colored shirt. There are four partially full Coca-Cola glasses and a bottle of Coca-Cola Zero on the table. The final setting is the younger boy sitting on a park bench on a hot sunny day, with headphones around his neck, a bottle of coke to his right, and his bookbag on his left with people playing basketball in the far distance behind
The ad features Kobe Bryant playing basketball at a court in California. The vitamin water bottle acts as his opponent. Kobe is wearing a black shirt and white basketball shorts. His outfit is simple so it doesn’t take away from the product. The ad is saying Vitamin water can give one the power to help get to your goal.
The commercial emphasizes an altruistic parent-child relationship throughout. It shows all of the incredible ways a father sees his daughter grow through her first years of life and the impact she has on him. Using this relationship coupled with the nostalgia-inducing music played throughout the commercial provides the audience with a feeling of saudade that shapes the advertisement.
The commercial opens with a dry voice trying to sound like a sportscaster while introducing the commercial as a Band of Brands conglomerate, while panning over the Grand Canyon with a Newcastle Brown Ale label suspended in the middle. The commercial pokes fun at itself by talking about how this commercial is the best thing the marketing team can come up with, and that the advertisement
Second ad is that a man calls his wife and tells her that he promoted in his job na dnow he is a manager and also invite her to a dinner at a very expensive and famous restaurant. Then we see him and his wife in the restaurant at night. She gives her husband a De Beers watch to congratulate his promotion and everybody turns to them to see the watch.
Pathos, being the strategy most strongly used in this commercial, connects with the feelings of the audience. By featuring the commercial atop a green hill with a diverse group of people, Coca-Cola is showing that people of different cultures can come together in harmony, which aforementioned, was what people were looking for at this period in history. Not only the thought of harmony among groups of people, but the song that they sing together melodiously. When the commercial begins we see a young blonde woman begin the song, then she is joined by the rest of the crowd in singing, “I’d like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love…” along with other verses describing animals and pleasantries that would accompany them in furnishing this home. When we think of home, we think of a place where we can be loved and cared for, a place that is peaceful and pleasant (or this is what most people hope for), which is exactly what Coke describes to us as we watch enchanted by the beautiful voices of the people. Coca-Cola connects with us by evoking emotions of belongingness, love, peace and harmony amongst our fellow friends and people. This form of pathos is what really hooks the
With the insertion of this line, it makes the viewer’s curious as to what exactly is in this new “big thing” and the options available in the television which makes it desirable. The music in the background of the video provides the viewers a comfortable experience while watching. Although, as more of the Samsung UHD TV in the advertisement is revealed, the rhythm of the music increases in order for the viewers to anticipate as to what the advertisement is leading to. The advertisement for
The commercial takes place in front of a blank white background with simple piano and xylophone music throughout its entire duration. In the foreground are two characters, a man sits at a simple metal desk while the other stands off to the side. On the desk there are three stacks of money, one large pile that is meant to portray advertising, the medium pile the man draws from and a small pile which represents the amount of money Microsoft spends on fixing it’s operating system. The man in the desk wears a white dress shirt with his sleeves rolled up and a dark blue vest over it, black slacks, dress shoes, a green money-counting visor and a red “power tie.” He is middle-aged and overweight wearing glasses. The other character looks to be in his mid-twenties. This character wears a tight blue long sleeve shirt, tight jeans and sneakers. He has relatively long hair and is stands relaxed. The older man sits on the ...
Analysis of an Advertising Campaign We are swarmed by advertising. Companies constantly battle to compete for the sale of their product.

Guinness’ ad starts right off in the middle of the action. It first shows a basketball soaring through the air in slow motion towards a basketball hoop. The camera then turns toward the faces of young, active men in wheelchairs, anxiously watching to see if the ball will go in. The ball proceeds to bounce off of the backboard and falls into the hands of one the men. In the next few moments, as the men are racing up and down the basketball court in their wheelchairs, we observe the competitiveness and sportsmanship of the two teams. One could see the sweat rolling down their faces and struggle of getting up after being knocked over. One could also hear the crashing of the wheelchairs, squeaking of the wheels, and yelling of the players. These few moments are full of action and display the dedication that the players have for the game. Once the game has ended, all of the men but one unbuckle themselves and walk out of their wheelchairs. They all he...
