Call an Uber for cute kittens to play with; call a Lamborghini Uber for a free ride; call a Magnum Uber for ice-cream delivery. Uber Technologies, INC., the pioneer of the ride sharing industry founded in 2009, successfully attracted people’s attention and caused fervent social responses by its innovative public campaigns. During this time of global economic growth and business competition, Uber’s brand advertisements not only provided users with cheap and convenient service, but also with creative events to put more excitement into daily life. It is important to examine and study Uber’s communication strategies since it has taken a huge market share of the business. “Based on expense reports from business travelers in the first quarter of
In this case, it improved the relationship between “Game of Thrones” and the audience, and the relationship between Uber and its user. The campaign brought the imaginary world into real life and the fans of “Game of Thrones” were able to redo the scene they loved. By acting as kings and queens in “Game of Thrones”, audiences increased their interaction with the drama and developed personal bonding with it. Meanwhile, this event publicized the drama, as far as the throne van goes, and attracted Uber users to become potential viewers. More importantly, Uber won the heart of “Game of Thrones” supporters by advocating for the new season premiere. This campaign was also an opportunity for Uber to propagandize itself with massive broadcasts and publicity while gaining potential
Uber’s choice was based on creativity. Not only is the word “Throne” a part of the drama title, but also the throne is the thing that people could sit on, just like they can sit in an Uber taxi. With this trait, it was less meaningful to choose other elements than the throne. Moreover, the caption of this activity, “HBONOW”, also added the creativity of the campaign. Uber did not just simply write “Throne”, or “Game of Thrones” as annotation. Uber’s wittiness of writing “HBONOW” is that users can therefor relate this innovative Uber campaign and “Game of Thrones” series with HBO, the genuine partner behind the scene. Thus people could put their attention back to HBO and not just focus on “Game of
Google is by far one of the top companies when it comes to capital expenditures (Capex), despite the drop in expenditures in 2015, the company remained well ahead of the competition. During 2015, right after Ruth Porat took over as the company’s CFO, capital expenditures at the company dropped every quarter. According to Levy (2016), total capital expenditures fell 14% for the company. However, Google’s largest competitors, Microsoft and Amazon, continued to increase their capital expenditures with Microsoft increasing spending by 19%. and Amazon maintained its level of spending after increasing spending more than four-fold over the previous four years.
The most memorable campaign in their eyes was when Seaworld posted ‘live’ snippets of an orca show from the front row of the stadium on Instagram. I asked about Blackfish and while the respondent was disheartened while watching the film they would still go to Seaworld because “you’re guaranteed to see an orca”. When asked on their thoughts on Blackfish the respondent expanded on the fact that they felt that Seaworld’s response to the film seems to attract more attention than the film itself. The respondent says that they often see a string of comments following a Seaworld reply to a customer complaint whenever they are on their twitter

Our family’s cell phone has increased tremendously over the past two years. Verizon is continuing to raise our bill while offering new customers lower rates. Our family of six is consistently paying $350 a month for our cell phone bill. This equates to $4,200 per year spent on cell phone coverage. My family has been a loyal Verizon customer for over 15 years. We believe that we should be getting the same rates as people who join the network today get. Below I have put our bill for August 2016 which was a total of $356.89.

Ethos has to do primarily with credibility. Ethos is an appeal to ethics, and is a means of convincing the audience of the character or credibility of the persuader or content. Examples of this in the billboard advertisement are the sponsors at the bottom: Baron Real Estate, the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, and the American Lung Association. In the Doritos commercial advertisement, logos is seen with the brand title. The Doritos logos is the more powerful of the two based on this information, because of how Doritos is widely known and recognized by all, while many of the sponsors on the billboard aren’t as immediately
We first looked in the company history, its organization and its current ownership by UK based company Stagecoach Group llc. We then used this background information to inform our investigation of the Coach USA and Megabus brands . Utilizing tools like a brand positioning matrix and marketing mix analysis we began to see where Coach USA and Megabus stand in comparison to their competitors through their visual identities, brand offerings, brand loyalty, brand presence and digital presence. We then proceeded to formulate a concise plan to help Coach USA freshen its identity and possibly reinvent the way customers feel and interact with bus travel.
Commercials serve many purposes for their audience. Whether it be to influence someone to purchase a product, or to advertise for a new movie release, commercials serve to persuade someone to do something. Advertisers are able to persuade and extend to a greater audience with the right amount of ethos, logos, and pathos, making the commercial more effective. Commercials are able to persuade the audience to the argument being presented by using pathos to apply to one’s emotions, logos to show evidence, and ethos to show credibility. In the BC SPCA End Animal Cruelty campaign, the commercial featuring Sarah McLachlan and “Angel” uses all three appeals to persuade the audience to support animals in distress and protect them further abuse.
Technological advances of the twenty-first century have seen a dramatic shift in how businesses operate and interact with customers (Bashar, Ahmad & Wasiq, 2012). The use of social media has accelerated globally, with businesses now jumping on the bandwagon to take advantage of the benefits it can offer and generate themselves a USP against competitors (Jobber, 2010). Social media allows “… users to come together online and exchange, discuss, communicate and participate in any form of social interaction” (Ryan & Jones, 2009: Pg. 152), essentially allowing almost everything to be co-created, distributed and shared via word-of-mouth communication (Fill, 2013). Arguably an extension of the promotional element of the marketing-mix, social media influences consumer behaviour such as brand awareness, information acquisition, communication and evaluation (Mangold & Faulds, 2009).
Notwithstanding the advertisement, it shows a group of people protesting and no one knows the purpose of this movement at all. It’s just too vague and irrelevant to the commercial. This received a lot of backlash because people thought it was trivializing the Baton Rouge and Black Lives Matter protests to sell beverages. But nothing in the advertisement itself said, “Let’s degrade this specific movement of protest to sell carbonated citrus, vanilla like beverages.” During the midst of the commercial, there’s just a supermodel posing for pictures where there’s a protest seems unsafe. Like if there was a well known enough person doing a marketing campaign wouldn’t they close down that particular part of the city during a
The patient,MMMM, needs a blood transfusion and possibly surgery to save her life as well as the life of her unborn child related to an injury she sustained from a motor vehicle accident. The patient does not want to receive blood products or surgery. The patient's reluctance is related to her faith, which is based upon biblical scripture pertaining to blood. The primary ethical issue in this case is the patient's right to autonomy. There is another dilemma in this case and that is the unborn child is at an increased risk of death should the patient decide against the transfusion or surgery. When an adult refuses a blood transfusion related to religious beliefs despite receiving the information of benefit versus risks, it is considered an informed decision. However, a parent that refuses a blood transfusion for their child based upon this same belief may face legal charges of abuse or neglect and a judicial decision will be made (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2007, p. 456). This raises a precarious ethical dilemma for the health care team related to the principle of the autonomous rights of Juana as well as the principle of beneficence toward her unborn child.

For some companies, marketing is the only form of communication with their customers. Through it, organizations deliver their message to attract new customers, gain loyalty and prevent migration to competing products. In analyzing the way Pepsi and Snapple communicate by means of marketing, it clearly displays the way communication takes place by imposing the brand image, values and association and how this is communicated to attract and retain their customers.
