When companies try to advertise their product they try to convince you by making it look glamorous and persuade you into thinking that you need the product that they are selling. The commercial that I’ve chosen is called “McDonald’s Pay with Lovin”, it was shown during the 2015 Super Bowl Commercial. It was promoting to spread the love. But also the company was convincing the target audiences to purchase their products and repurchase it. America’s most famous fast food chain restaurant is trying to use the opportunity to get their customers to come and spread the word about Pay with Lovin, so that more people can come to the store. The reasoning behind this, according to New York’s time, fast food chain McDonald, is suffering a great deal amount of loss. Twenty one percent has dropped in the fourth-quarter earnings in 2014, their net income went by fifteen percent to 4.76 billion. So McDonald is losing to other chains like Shake Shack and Chipotle. McDonald is the world’s leading food service organization, who is suffering a great loss to other companies, and is trying to change things up.
In this specific commercial McDonald is aiming to sell their product and rise from their

great losses shown in the example above. The target audiences would be everyone. The commercial shown, the employees at McDonald’s, surprised customers by announcing that they would be accepting a new form of payment. So they randomly selected customers. After a customer placed their order the employees surprised them and said they could pay with loving. So do that the employees at McDonalds told customers to call their loved ones, do a fist bump, or dance with them, etc. It was to encourage pay-it-forward and spread the love sort thing. A mother and son were in the store and the mother had to tell her son what she loved about her son. Another instance was the customer was to dance along with the employees and that put a smile on their faces. An elderly man had to give the employee a fist bump, everyone in store was so happy they all were clapping for each other. The target audience would be almost everyone. Families and friends, they get together, bond and have fun watching the Super Bowl, so that was a good timing to show that commercial so they can feel inspired and spread the love with others. McDonald’s did that by promoting pay with loving. It also is intended to get their customers and people to come to their restaurant. The rhetorical appeals that are included in this commercial are, pathos and ethos.
Pathos is to illustrate emotions and it is to evoke emotions from the audience and this commercial is a perfect example. Because when watching this the sentimental feeling comes to the viewer and seeing how the customers are in a happy mood right away and how they react to the kindness that the employees are providing. Because when you watch this it makes you feel inspired. It was neat to see how the families reacted and hugged each other.
Ethos deals with credibility, this restaurant is well known by everyone, even overseas and especially Americans. Like I said in the first paragraph, it is America’s most famous fast food chain. When they see the yellow “M” sign they automatically know what that
means.
People will then associate the product with the positive feeling, making it easier to persuade the person to buy.Pathos is a tactic well used in the commercial because of the upbeat music and colors along with catchy phase “Reese's puffs, Reese's puff, peanut butter chocolate flavor” on repeat it stays in people's
Almost every commercial uses Pathos, an appeal to emotions, to convince the viewer that their product is the best choice for them. The use of Pathos enables the persuader to reach out to the audience in a subconscious or even unconscious level. Emotion creates a bond with the viewer and the advertiser. Liberty Mutual commercials convince us that they provide the best coverage and benefits, such as 24 hour road side assistance and easy repair estimates. In particular, their commercials stand out as as one who uses humor and fear, and then provides reassurance to coax us to chose their insurance over others.
The United States of America has long been considered a “big nation”, whether is has the biggest cities, houses, and on a negative note, biggest people. In 2003, Morgan Spurlock, a healthy-bodied film director, set on a quest to show America the detrimental effects of the fast food industry and raise awareness on the controversial issue. He produced the documentary “Supersize Me”, where McDonald’s meals were consumed for every meal of the day for thirty days. His film was released to movie theatres so that people could understand the devastating effects of McDonald’s on his body in a very short time span. At the end of his experiment, Morgan gained twenty-five pounds, developed a thirteen percent body mass increase, cholesterol skyrocketed immensely, and fat accumulation in his liver rose to. He became depressed and he only felt happy and in no pain when he was eating the fast food. By using ethos, logos, and pathos, “Supersize Me” became one of the most watched documentaries in the United States. Without these appeals, this documentary would not have developed the effect that it did.
Pathos means to persuade people using the sense of emotions. The way an advertisement makes you feel can make you change your whole outlook on something. The product would make kids feel strong like the Hulk. It would make parents feel like they could buy it because it shows that they are very durable and not a waste of money. It would make parents feel like their child or children would be more protected against viruses and other harming illnesses. By using the Hulk in the ad because of his strength, the advertisers would expect the children to want them and the parents to buy them.
...pathos is used as the most persuasive form to support the text of the advertisement.
An analysis of 2013 advertising expenditures found that ?US companies spent $5.5 billion on fast-food advertisements and $6.8 billion on separate food, beverage and confectionary categories? (Henderson 191). The majority of these advertisements were focused on high-calorie and low-nutrient foods. McDonalds is generally regarded as the king of all burger chains; having brought fast food to the world and being the first company to ser...
First, Pathos is appeal based on emotion. Most advertisements tend to be "pathos-driven". The first phone call, was a women named Cedricka, she was calling Lieutenant Ray about him saving her from a house fire 4 years ago. She finally got to say thank you. She was choking up during the call, it was very heartfelt. The Lieutenant was caught off guard and was very surprised to be having this call with someone. It's safe to say that the Lieutenant won't forget this for a long time.
“Ba da ba ba ba I’m lovin it.” I did even tell you what company my ad is for, but after reading the giggle you already know. You may not know it, but ads are persuading our decisions every day. I remember as a child I saw many ads about McDonald’s Happy Meals. I was convinced it really made one happy because who doesn’t like toys. Plus, the word happy was in the name. I even made my dad buy a Happy Meal for me everyday for lunch at school, so I could show off my new Happy Meal toy. While many people would find the advertisement “McDonald’s in Birkerod re-opens in 2 weeks.” from an advertising agency called DDB, to be ineffective cause the ad is discriminating to the local audience, it is effective because it uses ethos, uses colors like yellow and red to catch attention, and cleverly used the well
Marketers are often accused of marketing to children to gain higher profits. Young children are targeted because they usually do not know right from wrong. Many people have criticized McDonald’s for advertising the Happy Meal towards young children for higher profits. Some people consider it unethical because the Happy Meal is so unhealthy. However, McDonald’s has taken many initiatives to show that it is a corporation that does not manipulate children for profit and that they care for children. The Ronald McDonald House Charities organization was created by McDonalds in 1974 to help children in need. The organization believes that helping one child will go a long way, and they express their commitment in their vision statement, “We believe when you change a child’s life, you change a family’s, which can change a community and, ultimately, the world” (Ronald McDonald House Charity). McDonald’s also provides donations for many other children’s charities and has taken steps to improve the Happy Meals by providing healthier options. McDonalds works hard towards making children all ove...
However, among them, Charles Melton emphasized the pathos appeal. Pathos can be developed by using meaningful language, emotional tone, and implied meanings. Pathos is the connection to a person’s emotions. It is what we feel. He tries to persuade an audience by appealing to their emotions. He presents the air pollution phenomenon by using pictures and showing statistics. These methods can help people to understand how serious the problem is in the Unites States. It also uses pathos to invoke sympathy from an audience and to make the audience feel what the author wants them to
For decades, Macdonald’s has maintained a broad advertising campaign. In addition to the media, the company makes considerable use of signage and billboards, sporting events and coolers of drinks with their logo for all kinds of events. The company has used twenty-three diverse slogans in United States for advertising. At the same time the company has few other slogans for the selected countries and regions.
Have you ever wondered how the business empire of McDonalds was started? With over ninety nine billion served, it was started in 1940 in San Bernardino, California. It was started off as just a Bar-B-Q that served just twenty items. Its first mascot was named “Speedee” They eventually realized that by setting up their kitchen like an assembly line that they could be much more productive and get their food done faster, with every employee doing a specified job; the restaurants production rate became much higher. A milkshake machine vendor came into their small restaurant one day, his name was Ray Kroc. He saw how much potential the restaurant has, so he bought it out and opened one of the first franchises. Within the first year of Ray Kroc buying it, there were one hundred and two locations all around the world. McDonalds currently is one of the largest fast food restaurants in the world and currently has served over sixty four million customers through one of their thirty two thousand sites. It has almost become a way of life for America. Though, McDonalds started off as a small business between two brothers, it grew into one of the largest restaurant franchises in the world and greatly affects our society and how we eat our food.
McDonalds has always been a leader in the fast food industry. Through its dynamic market expansion, new products and special promotional strategies, it has succeeded in making a name for itself in the minds of the target customers. However, McDonald’s earnings has declined in the late 1990’s and 2000s. This is mainly due to a fiercely competitive industry and variety in customer tastes and preferences.
The following essay illustrates how value is provided to customers within the organization. By utilizing stakeholders, organizational policies, and specific strategies, McDonald’s works towards constantly innovating its service and product.
Director Morgan Spurlock, created a documentary to provide evidence that eating McDonalds for thirty days straight is enormously unhealthy. He was experimenting with a man named Alex and using him as the guinea pig . He was to eat only McDonald's for thirty days straight, three meals a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If he was asked by the McDonald’s worker if he would like the meal super-sized, he must say yes.
