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 …show more content…
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
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
“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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
McDonald’s target market is conscious of budget and is made up of those who is looking to stretch a dollar while still getting the quality food in clean environment. One of the main market segment of McDonald’s is the youth and the family with young children. Most of McDonald’s locations have indoor playground to attract the families with young children. It offers economic way to spend quality family time without stretching their budget. McDonald’s failed attempt at Angus burger is a prime example that McDonald’s target market is not the high end premium dining but the value driven, simple, and convenient food
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.
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.
McDonalds is one of the world’s largest fast food chains, feeding many people for low prices. What people don’t understand is what is actually
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.
