Chevrolet Chevy bought advertisment (ad) space in a double issue of “Sports Illustrated” that was published on November 20-27, 2017. I believe the publisher was aiming to reach middle aged caucasian wealthy men who love to look at sports magazines but also loves their vehicles. Mostly caucasian males with high economic status. I can infer that this is the target population because the magazine mostly portrays Caucasian males triumphing and succeeding in sports. By doing a complete analysis on this ad by: looking at the appeals to the audience, looking for opposing views of the audience and looking for other interpretations the audience might see.The publisher is trying to show his audience that these vehicles are worth purchasing.

The awards are there to support the backing and reasoning in the audiences internal debate on whether or not one of these vehicles would be worth buying. There is also the acoustics look of the building the cars are in that adds a wealthier look and add to the sound of the cars. The artistic look also suggest that the cars are in a concert hall or some hall that will better help the sound quality of the car to further interest the audience. The second part of logos that is cleverly hidden is the fact that they published this ad in late November which is close to christmas, the time when most caucasian consumers try to buy a new car for himself or one of his family …show more content…
Yes they have won some great awards, but it doesn't tell us anything else about the vehicles. The trophies not only support the claim that the vehicles are a great product to purchase but they also go against their claim to winning two years in a row because the compact SUV Equinox won in 2016 but didn't win in 2017. They also do not show the prices of the vehicles, their mileage nor any other detail about them besides the fact that they are dependable. The publisher isn't putting forth enough information for the audience to fully believe that these vehicles are worth spending however much they cost on
He talks about how great America is and how all Americans are hard working. In this commercial, the targeted demographic was basically the spokesperson for the ad: blue and white collar white men who believe they are the backbone of the country. In the Ford commercial, there is a parallel to not only the spokesperson, but the how they got to their present, and the values they have in life. The spokesperson for Cadillac is a well known actor was in his mid fifties, white, and male. This appeals to a majority of America with power who are already well off. However, in the Ford commercial, the spokesperson is young, black, and female. She represents the minorities in the aspect of gender, nationality, and the millennials. Another parallel is how the man in the Cadillac commercial showed off his house, car, and family throughout the commercial. It was clear that he had money and did not necessarily work to achieve it. In the Ford commercial, the woman started off at her job, then changed into a professional outfit. Rather than boasting about the things she has, she showed how hard work got her to where she
Other commercials, according to Solomon, thrive on fitting in. The Chevrolet commercials have a slogan that makes one feel to be American, one must by American. Chevrolet's slogan is 'The Heartbeat of America.'; Car commercials also have targeted markets also. For a truck commercial, they will show a truck getting all dirty and going through an obstacle. This is targeted towards men because most men find these things appealing. For a luxury car commercial the mood or the commercial is nice and pleasant, the car is on a country road (representing one driving to there country home). These cars were once targeted towards upper class people, but now they are targeted towards everyone according to Solomon. A commercial strives on the ever so enduring drive for Americans to have better things and climb up the social status ladder. Marketers know this, so they place normal, average, everyday looking people in their commercials to let middle class people know that they can have the car, too.
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
“A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won’t be too bad” (Robert Wagner). A dog is constant during every important season in your life. Whether it is going into highschool, your sweet sixteen, advancing to college, or your first move. The 2014 Chevy Commercial can speak towards anyone whose background consists of having a dog they were attached to. Many people are able to relate to the commercial because they may have had dogs with them during the same turning points in their lives as the video had. The chronological process the composer created, was the life of the dog, Maddie, and her owner backwards. The commercial started when the guardian of Maddie was saying goodbye to her as she was old and ready to die; from there, she gazes into the past at the turning points in her
Ever since the day we were born, we as Americans have been taught to grab the bull by the horns and go for their dreams. Family, schools and the media, to name a few, have carefully programmed us to accomplish great things, to have good jobs, and most importantly, make money. In this success driven culture many people will do what ever they need to do to become wealthy and powerful. Unfortunately, the paths they take to their pot of gold can leave, us as a society, looking greedy and shameless. With its new advertisement of the Viper SRT-10, Dodge has clearly captured some of our society’s view on money; do whatever it takes to get it. It pictures an old wealthy man and his beautiful, young bride with a brand new Dodge Viper sports car sitting in the background. In our days of Anna Nicole Smith and countless other gold digging Playboy bunnies, not to mention all of the not-so-famous people doing the same thing, this ad truly fits into our time and culture. In fact, if this ad was published 30 years ago, the majority of the population would be shocked, maybe even outraged. However, seeing it today, most Americans, including myself, laugh at it because it is something we have become accustomed to. Dodge has done a great job in choosing their audience and knowing how to get their attention, by using a humorous and thought provoking picture, a well planned color scheme and a clever slogan.
All in all, it seems that car companies can use posters to advertise their upcoming vehicle and get creative with it. It just goes to show this creativity of poster ads leads to countless ways of influencing and even repelling different consumer groups. Looking back, it also appears that behind these texts and images are tactful tools of advertising that can be manipulative and associative, and persuade to appeals of reason or emotion.
This paper will analyze an ATT commercial according to audience, purpose, context, ethics, and stance. The focus will emphasize the audience which the aid is trying to reach and how they do so.
Advertising in the 50s was primarily focused on the return of traditional family values, and portraying the consumer’s role in society’s prestige. But, during the recession of 1959 to 1961, the time was ripe for some innovation in the advertising industry. Surly enough, a single ad appeared that changed the course of advertising history. The Volkswagen Beetle, a seemingly ugly car with all odds against it in the American market of huge, tail-finned vehicles of the 1950s, surprisingly prospered. The advertisement campaign broke all previous rules of using wide-angle photography, and beautiful women. These advertisements stole the American hearts with their wit and honesty.
I think that the target audience for these cars is the same. these cars are family cars. Both of the cars are designed to be comfortable and safe, they are not advertised to be fast sports cars. or stylish city cars; they are advertised as normal cars. In both of the adverts there is no real reference towards the performance of the car apart from in the Chrysler where there is a reference to the fuel.
Ethos, pathos, and logos are ways that an artist or an advertisement use in order to effectively persuade or convince readers to buy their product. Ethos is used to convince audiences that an ad is credibly and that people can believe what they reading. Pathos is when an artist or advertisement try to appeal to the consumer’s emotional state. Finally, logos is trying to convince buyers to purchase their product by using logic or reasoning. By analyzing the use of ethical, emotion, and logical appeal, we can compare and contrast a Pepsi ad and a Coca Cola advertisement.

Television commercials are television programming produced by any organisation to provide message in the market about their product or services. It is one of the most popular methods to attract customer and provide them information about their products or services.
Advertising generally tries to sell the things that consumers want even if they should not wish for them. Adverting things that consumers do not yearn for is not effective use of the advertiser’s money. A majority of what advertisers sell consists of customer items like food, clothing, cars and services-- things that people desire to have. On the other hand it is believed by some advertising experts that the greatest influence in advertising happens in choosing a brand at the point of sale.
Mercedes Benz is a German car manufacturer known for being “the best or nothing,” their slogan represents not only their line of luxury vehicles but also their business.
