Advertisements are constructed to be compelling; nonetheless, not all of them reach their objective and are efficient. It is not always easy to sway your audience unless your ad has a reliable appeal. Ads often use rhetoric to form an appeal, but the appeals can be either strong or weak. When you say an ad has a strong rhetorical appeal, it consists of ethos, pathos, logos, and Kairos. Advertisers use these appeals to cohere with their audience. Nike is known to be one of the leading brands of the sports shoes and apparel. It holds a very wide sector of followers around the world.

Nabisco, the company that produces Oreo Cookies, has always been known for outstanding commercials. Yet this “Oreo Cookie” commercial is perhaps the most remarkable. First, she twists the cookie apart and then, this cute little girl with her hair in pigtails proceeds to dunk the cookie in a tall glass of milk, submerging her entire hand.

Advertisements are one of many things that Americans cannot get away from. Every American sees an average of 3,000 advertisements a day; whether it’s on the television, radio, while surfing the internet, or while driving around town. Advertisements try to get consumers to buy their products by getting their attention. Most advertisements don’t have anything to do with the product itself. Every company has a different way of getting the public’s attention, but every advertisement has the same goal - to sell the product. Every advertisement tries to appeal to the audience by using ethos, pathos, and logos, while also focusing on who their audience is and the purpose of the ad. An example of this is a Charmin commercial where there is a bear who gets excited when he gets to use the toilet paper because it is so soft.

Advertisement is defined as a public notice, a paid announcement which is meant to attract an audience who interprets themselves with the ad. The human mind is so attractive to new things that it makes it harder for these big companies to come up with new idea to catch our attention. It’s a huge cycle that leads us to an uncontrolled opinion and gives the power to decide for us to the advertisement companies. “Peyton Manning-Gatorade Commercial” is a great way to bait young viewers’ attention into not only buying the product of Gatorade but also making them more notable to watch football.
What captures the attention of people when they view an advertisement, commercial or poster? Is it the colors, a captivating phrase or the people pictured? While these are some of the elements often employed in advertising, we can look deeper and analyze the types of appeals that are utilized to draw attention to certain advertisements. The persuasive methods used can be classified into three modes. These modes are pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos makes an appeal to emotions, logos appeals to logic or reason and ethos makes an appeal of character or credibility. Each appeal can give support to the message that is being promoted.
The commercial opens with a dry voice trying to sound like a sportscaster while introducing the commercial as a Band of Brands conglomerate, while panning over the Grand Canyon with a Newcastle Brown Ale label suspended in the middle.

13). Both of these types of images are shown through this ad. The Lunchables ad is showing renditions of the world through the young kid in a school setting, however; the lunch box exploding with paint and animals is more abstract but it still accurately reflects how the kid feels when he opens a Lunchables. Bignell (2002) explains “the aim of ads is to engage us in their structure of meaning, to encourage us to participate by decoding their linguistic and visual signs and to enjoy this decoding activity” (p. 33). The Lunchables ad has many signs the viewer can decode. One important sign in the ad is the African American young boy sitting with a shocked and ecstatic look on his face. He signifies that he is happy and eager to eat a Lunchables. The food coming out of the Lunchables symbolizes the actual food someone would eat if they were to get the Turkey and Cheddar cracker snacks Lunchables. It relates to the Lunchables because it is a real representation of the inside of the box. The paint and paintbrushes symbolize creation and fun. They relate to the ad as a whole because they represent the creation of making your own lunch with a Lunchables, which is one of the reasons why the Lunchables are so successful. The paint and brushes also signify making a mess and that is something
They make the cheeseburgers look like they had just made them with the freshest ingredients and best meat McDonalds could find. Although anyone who has eaten at McDonalds knows that the ingredients they use are the farthest thing from being fresh, so in making the burgers look nice and fresh it makes the burgers look better then what they really are driving in a crowd of people hoping to eat a burger from the ad only to be disappointed to find the real burger is all around not that impressive.

The shaded diamond shapes in the background actually symbolize the concept of choosing so it would make sense to put it on the ad to want them to chose one of there cheese burgers. The positioning of the cheeseburgers is in a pyramid/triangular design that displays structure and power. The display is quietly giving someone a slight feel of power wanting him or her to buy the cheeseburger that made him or her feel good.
