There is a lot of competition when it comes to advertising a company’s product because people are working hard to get their product to be the best seller and they are trying to find more innovative ways to do so. In order to make it easier, marketers target a specific group of people and focus on how to get their attention. A brand that does this well is Bud Light because in recent years they have started to shift their attention towards millennials. Their main audience was middle aged people but they have decided to change gears and target a different group because millennials, more specifically college students, are more likely to buy beer in bulk. Millennials are always in some way or form on social media and have easy access to information and companies use this to their advantage in order to get their brand across. Bud Light also uses different and engaging campaigns to grab the attention of their intended target. Bud Light has been targeting millennials because they are …show more content…

Millennials are focused very heavily on social issues and human rights and Bud Light has used that as marketing opportunity. They released a series of videos on their official Youtube channel starring Amy Schumer and Seth Rogan about the “Bud Light Party” which focused on social issues like gender identity and equal pay. They partnered up with Nike and Mini to further this campaign (Monllos, 2016). The reactions to the commercials was mostly negative as the videos has more dislikes than likes, but it did grab lots of media attention and the company gained a brand new market. This might not have been a smart move because by deciding to do this, Bud Light angered many of its original customers. Bud Light decided to target a new market (Millennials) and it worked because the videos have a lot of views and popularity grew even though they some of their old

    It would not make sense for Budweiser to show the American Dream from a black man’s perspective anymore because people will have a hard time connecting to the message. African Americans are now accepted and have found their place in our society just like everyone else. Instead, Budweiser takes a different angle to catch people’s attention. The black man in the old commercial is now being played by a puppy. The reason for this is so everyone can relate to the underlying message. Budweiser is now attempting to appeal to their audience in a different kind of emotional

    Everywhere we go we are told what to wear, what to drink, how to look, and so on. Be it by billboards, newspaper, television, magazines, it’s everywhere. That being said, advertisements have a great influence on our lives. While researching ads for a similar products from two different American time periods, I came across two beer advertisements – one from the 1950s and one in the 1990s. In the 1950s, beer advertisements focused their attention on family, specifically how a mother and a father, supporting and maintaining a household, should enjoy beer. Yet, in the 1990s, beer advertisements main focus was on the male consumer. What do men like more than beer? Yes, women. The advertisement industry utilized attractive women to be associated in the ads but have no necessarily affiliation with the product. The difference between these two ads show about American culture is that back then it was about gender roles and nowadays is about sexism. Beer advertisements should not be in local advertisements because the message exhibits stereotypes. Since the early days of time the stereotype o...

    Sport is one of the largest mediums that corporations can utilize to get that mass message out to their customers. Many of us have different ways that “tickle” our fancy so to speak. What interests one does not necessarily interest another, but, even if one person can convince others to try a product or service a domino effect may occur. Corporations are always trying to “spice” up their advertisement. They probably do this to see if they can manipulate a consumer to try their service or product. For example, Budweiser has been running beer ads for many, many years and incorporated comedy into their commercials. They went from frogs to lizards to obnoxious acting. In my opinion, people are swayed by these tactics and tend to try a Budweiser beer more often than they had.

    Defined by the Council for Economic Advisors, Millennials are the cohort of Americans born between 1980 and the mid-2000s, are the largest generation in the U.S., representing one-third of the total U.S. population in 2013(US Census Bureau). Millennials use social media more frequently and are even more likely to sleep near their cell phone (Taylor and Keeter). Maybe this is why when the commercial was first viewed it seemed more like an ad designed for to run online rather than aired during the Super Bowl. This audience will be ordering their food online so it only makes sense that a majority of their marketing would occur online. Outside of special events such as the Super Bowl Millennials would also be more likely to utilize streaming content online rather than watching through conventional programing with commercials.

    Pepsi was introduced in 1893 by Caleb Bradham as “Brads Drink” which then was renamed to “Pepsi Cola” in 1898. There wasn’t many options for advertising in this era due television not being introduced into households till the late 1900’s. One of the first Pepsi Cola advertisements was a black and while flyer that had a few characters laughing and read “Whoope!!! Zoom!! Drink Pepsi-Cola” at an advertisement from Pepsi, the have bright blue, red, and white colors that pop and are eye catching. Comparing this ad with a current ad and modern technology, you can see that Pepsi’s marketing and advertising techniques have come a long way. Reviewing a recent Pepsi advertisement, you can see that they have made groundbreaking changes to their branding techniques. First I will I will note that their choices in colors (red, blue, and white) for their brand are not only eye popping, but in a way symbolize the colors of America. I am not sure if this was their intent but it sure does standout.
