Recommended: Why knowing cultural differences in international marketing is important

Those commercials are very interesting and very well made when it comes to the ideas behind them. I think the first Tim Horton’s commercial about the family and hockey, and the commercial about the beer fridge that only opened to Canadians had the best concepts. Now after observing all of them, there were some pretty clear concepts left in my head about what I think Canadians are like; well based on commercials only. Starting with the first commercial it heavily portrayed that Canadians are proud of their country and where they come from. It also seemed to make a small joke because it listed off everything that is majorly popular in Canada. As an American, I didn't know some of these things yet after watching that commercial I had some elementary …show more content…

Family values are the first thing I noticed as I watched the commercial. It is trying to tell us that both Tim Horton’s and Canadians care genuinely about their families. The second thing I noticed is something that most people know about Canada whether as a stereotype or as something of truth is that hockey is one of the biggest sports in Canada. So after seeing that commercial, I thought that Canadians tend to be very hockey excessive …show more content…

The commercial really didn’t pull me in or sell me on any other ideas about what Canadians are like. Finally, the last commercial about the beer fridge left me with one overall thought about Canadians. In the first beer commercial, they try to get across to the audience that Canadians are earnestly proud to be Canadian. They do the same thing in this last commercial and that just makes me assume that Canadians are just like Americans in the fact that we all cherish our

    ‘Roots Nationalism’ was a product of the globalizing world economy, of the growing emphasis on branded clothing and lifestyles, and of the particularities of the national crisis in Canada” (Carstairs 2012). This statement clearly argues that the brand ‘Roots’ created Canadian identity and used it as a mechanism to sell their product. Carstairs also mentioned that “over the past two decades, Roots, along with other companies such as Molson (a beer company whose leading brand, Canadian, features a maple leaf) and Tim Hortons (a chain of coffee and doughnut shops created by Canadian hockey great Tim Horton that capitalizes on Canadians’ love of doughnuts and coffee) has created a new type of branded nationalism in Canada” as this can be called stereotypes of Canadian lifestyle and using Canadian symbols to promote and sell products (Carstairs 2012). Furthermore, in 1983, “Roots was declared a good example of how a very human-orientated business can be carried on in the 80’s through integrity, quality and honestly” as this just shows how beneficial it is for people to have Roots merchandise through the manipulation of branding using nationalism (Patricia

    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.

As the guys keep arguing Mikes girlfriend calls her over and tells her to eat a snicker. Betty White takes the first bite and then suddenly a man appears in her place ready to finish the game. At the end of the commercial the statement "You're not you when you're hungry" is shown followed by the Snickers bar logo. What this commercial is trying to show is that hunger changes a person, and satisfying this hunger can change you back to your normal self. They use different types

    Conflict theory claims that advertising does not sufficiently address issues of inequality in society.

Controlled by the Rogers family, Shaw Communications controlled by the Shaw family, CBC/Radio Canada, and Quebecor Inc. Controlled by the Péladeau family.

    Within Canadian culture there are many embedded beliefs and values that provide a national identity. Tim Hortons is no different, having built a brand that coincides with these values of honesty, thoughtfulness and acceptance of others. Canadians relate to Tim Hortons as a definitive Canadian brand, and as a ‘go-to’ convenience product. The commercial that demonstrates an aspect of both Canadian and Tim Hortons’ values was aired on the morning of January 15th, 2011 on The Sports Network (TSN). ‘A coffee all our own’ displays a true story of immigration that begins with a solitary man, and inevitably leads to him welcoming the rest of family with at the airport with winter clothing and Tim Hortons coffee, which are staples in Canadian life.

  • Global Beer Fridge Commercial Essay

    In the I am Canadian video, Molson Canadian picked a Caucasian male to discuss the message of Canadian stereotypes. As a matter of fact, it is interesting that Molson Canadian chose someone of this ethnic group to represent their company in this commercial because it serves a purpose to explain that Molson’s target audience is possibly only certain groups of people and is not suited for everyone. On the other hand, the “Global Beer Fridge commercial includes people of all races, but excludes speakers of the first people who were part of the country, the First Nations people. As a matter of fact, Molson Canada is trying to promote through this commercial that they support people of all cultures that seem to make the majority of the nation who are allowed to enjoy the privileges of beer compared to the minority groups who should not be allowed to share the same privileges. Thus, the two commercials I am Canadian and Global Beer Fridge both seem to exclude a dominant group in Canada’s history due to the privileges for the more dominant group in Canada’s

  • TV Commercials or Kill Me Commercials?

    700 Words  | 2 Pages

    Some television commercials become boring because of their frequency and triteness. Some commercials such as McDonald’s, Coca Cola and TD Canada Trust appear as many as three times in a thirty-minute program. Throughout a big event that has a large audience such as the Olympics, there is little to no variety in commercials, especially by big companies. They make it impossible to miss their commercial by filling up all the potential slots to make their product registered by you. Not only is the repetition dull, but the message employed in these commercials is often stated in clichés. For example, in many clothing commercials there is often stereotypical shots of highschool students who instantly have a big group of friends when they wear that brand.
