  • Analysis Of The Super Bowl

    1465 Words  | 3 Pages

    This paper will delve into the changes that social media has brought upon Super Bowl ads and how this has translated into the present day brand awareness strategy that various companies have been utilizing. The Super Bowl is one of the most watched events in the U.S. and, as such, companies often attempt to capture the attention of the audience through a variety of entertaining and amusing commercials that are aired during the commercial breaks. It used to be the case that companies often attempted to top each with ever increasingly audacious commercials which were meant to get audiences talking about the company, thus creating a considerable degree of brand awareness among the general population (Barraclough, 2012). The result was that the constant one-upmanship by the various companies actually created a "secondary show", so to speak, wherein the advertisements that were telecasted during the Super Bowl became almost as relevant to the television audience as the main event itself. Such a state of affairs radically changed as a direct result of the development of social media and the need for companies to better connect with their customers through social media campaigns (Barraclough, 2012).

    A celebrity status is a brand which is built on values, behavior, attitudes, hobbies and charity activities. Maintaining a reputable brand is critical for social media celebrities; a brand that people can trust, relate with and one which will remain relevant in years to come (Evans 2010, p 249-250). Social media is essential for growing a celebrity’s fan base as well as creating a platform where such a person can market a brand and connect with fans in a more personal way. In this way, fans will easily relate with the activities a celebrity does and will be ready to give support (Hallam, 2013).It is important for celebrities to communicate their values to their fans. Their fans should know them for what they do. People will be interested in a Face book brand page or follow somebody on Twitter because they are inspired by their messages and can relate to personalities that attract them. Oprah Winfrey was the director and host of the highly rated Oprah Winfrey show. She also is the founder of the Oprah Winfrey network. Oprah has inspired millions with her values of transparency and philanthropy because she has successfully been able to communicate her “Oprah” brand on Facebook and twitter. Even though Oprah is a very popular and influential person, she is considered a friendly person who can be approached by people of low social status. A

  • Analysis Of The Olympic Games

    1714 Words  | 4 Pages

    Sponsorship is a required element in a huge sporting event, such as the Olympics, as a large amount of funds is needed in order to prepare for the venues, materials and events, as well as to broadcast the Games on media. At the same time, the sponsoring companies can take the opportunities of being the supporters of an event to advertise their products and promote the positive values that represent their corporate social responsibility to the society. However, in a particular grand and well-known event like the Olympics, there can be questions raised about the relevance between some corporate sponsors and the values in sports. Dr. Susan Rose, a professor of marketing at Henley Business School, doubts McDonald’s, Cadbury, and Coca-Cola as being sponsors for the Olympics, as these brands own products that can be associated to obesity and tooth decay – the opposite of the values of health and sports (as cited in Smedley, 2012). Moreover, in order to directly promote their products, many companies choose to sponsor famous athletes whose characteristics and values best signify the features of the products; to successfully do so, mostly only well-known and charismatic athletes are selected. On the other hand, finance becomes an issue for less well-known athletes. Jordan Malone, an Olympic medalist in speed skating, reports that most athletes do not have full-time jobs due to huge devotion to training, and thus, have to rely on the fame that is gained through sport events, especially an event as renowned as the Olympics (as cited in Vasel, 2014). As a result, the athletes that are not signed for any brand contracts can have a difficult time trying to earn enough income. Furthermore, even for the all-star athletes: despite having contracts with the companies, those contracts can be canceled once the athletes have their reputation damaged, as
