The Coca-Cola Company is well known for their heart-warming advertisements with the use of emotional appeal. The advertisement “Brotherly Love”, demonstrate how an older brother will love his little brother unconditionally, no matter what. The ad shows that by taking over the umbrella when it’s pouring rain or placing his headphones on the very top shelf, so his youngest brother won’t reach them. But just when a clan of three kids appear to bully him by taking away his Coca-Cola, the older brother shows them that his little brother cannot be messed with. It’s as if he is the only one who can mess around with his little brother. If anyone else even attempts to try and bully him too, he will get defense. And even though he desperately wanted to drink the Coca-Cola for himself, he didn’t. He decided to be selfless because let’s face it, he loves him. But of course, he still bugged him. The song “Hey Brother” by Avicci, was not only used to go along the video, but it was used to emphasize …show more content…
The authors of our textbook Social Psychology defined Central Route of Persuasion as, “The case in which people have both, the ability and the motivation to elaborate in a persuasive communication, listening carefully to and thinking about the arguments presented” (P 201). The ad presents the reality of a daily relationship between brothers, always bothering one to each other. Nevertheless, the oldest one always become the protector of the younger. Most people feel identified with the situation presented in the ad for the fact that they have played or are playing the role of the older or younger brother/sister at some point of their lives. It motivate people to pay attention and think about the argument presented, remembering their siblings. Consequently, people will drink Coca-Cola instead of other beverage of their
...r”. This is very similar to our persuasion techniques in that we created a scenario and presented symptoms that would be relatable to a majority. The difference is that this ad appeals to a specific but common type of relationship in an attempt to create a stronger association between the viewer who would most likely be interested in the drug, which in this case, would be “problem boys and problematic mothers” (Singh). The ad draws more similarities to our group’s ad by depicting the pre- and post-treatment that results in a more engaged student, and in this campaign, a young boy who is raising his hand in class. The narrator is the mother whose vocal tone assumes satisfaction with the drug and its efficacy with her son’s ADHD disorder. Therefore it would be most appealing to the parents, while our advertisement appeals directly to the high school student.

This discussion brings about an interesting view on similarity in relation to persuasion as expressed by O’Keefe (200), “The belief that greater similarity means greater effectiveness is an attractive one and is commonly reflected in recommendations that persuaders emphasize commonalities between themselves and the audience.” O’Keefe concludes
Persuasion is a process by which the persuader, through communication, gains the approval or support for the topic (Let's Compare Motivate and Persuade, 2013). The arguments to motivate this change in thinking comes through careful use of rhetoric, but one must also be able to define the six principles of persuasion in social psychology: “Reciprocity, Scarcity, Authority, Commitment and Consistency, Consensus, and Liking” (McLean, 2010, p. 521) and be able to recognize them as they are taking place. Then, one must carefully apply these concepts in order to find the means to effectively facilitate persuasion (p. 518).
Beverage giant Coca-Cola wants to get a little love for its iconic cola drink from the upscale consumer set, so its decided to create and test-market a sleek set of contoured aluminum bottles for its flagship Coke brand. Yes, we said aluminum bottles.
Catchy jingles are what persuades consumers to buy more and more products that they hear about every day. This concept has been around for years and the Coca-Cola Company is no stranger to it. Back in July of 1971, Coca-Cola released the commercial, “I’d like to Buy the World a Coke” that sent their customers into chaos with over 100,000 letters being sent to the company asking for more. This leaves many people asking: how did this one commercial have such an impact on the audience? And what did Coca-Cola use that drew so many people in? Here we will discover the method behind what is “I’d like to buy the World a Coke.”
Persuasion is a commonly used communication technique that allows us to socially influence a certain topic positively or negatively. Its purpose is to help affirm or nullify an idea, belief or attitude. Sometimes the exact topic is very detectable in communication such as during debates but other times it displayed a little more subtly. Persuasion is more than just verbally speaking. Non-verbal communication such as body language, tone and pitch of the voice can also add to the affirmation of the topic. The setting and location also help encourage the acceptance of what is being persuaded.
For the anti-smoking the message uses peripheral persuasion, because I am not a smoker and have no motivation towards the advertisement. The person talking during is the spokesperson who is the example for what smoking can do to you. The Lil Wayne champagne uses central route persuasion. As a consumer I am highly interested in phones and other technologies and when I see a commercial like this that demonstrates a new feature I am interested.
The commercial emphasizes an altruistic parent-child relationship throughout. It shows all of the incredible ways a father sees his daughter grow through her first years of life and the impact she has on him. Using this relationship coupled with the nostalgia-inducing music played throughout the commercial provides the audience with a feeling of saudade that shapes the advertisement.
Every day in our life's we are persuaded to make choices. Persuasion is a very
This is the final way that ads use to influence audiences to buy their product over another. The Pepsi ad provides a website that onlookers may visit if they wish to learn more about the “Pepsi Refresh Project.” By citing this website the ad has appealed to audience’s logical reasoning. However, unlike the Pepsi ad, the coke ad provides its fact on the advertisement. The ad informs readers that coca cola has been around for over 84 years. This is a better way to appeal to a person logical understanding, because the information is right there, and they do not have to go to a website to find information about the product. Overall, both advertisements provide information about their product in an attempt to persuade audiences to buy either Pepsi or Coca
In the most advantageous of cases this model suggests that a receiver “considers the content of the persuasive message carefully and has favorable thoughts about the content” (Enfante, Rancer & Avtgis, 2010, p. 172). When receivers engage in cognitive thinking, they participate in the type of persuasion the authors call the “central route” (Enfante, Rancer & Avtgis, 2010, p. 172). Under the central route, the receiver employs positive feelings towards whatever the source is saying and then in turn acts or forms attitudes based off of the positive thoughts. Thus they interact thoughtfully with the information the source is attempting to get across.
that are pleasing to the senses. The central route is used to reach people who are more motivated and analytical, while people who are less analytical and less involved aremore likely to be influenced by the peripheral route. In advertising a combination of the two is common and effective. Computer ads relyprimarily on the central route, because their target audiences are perceived as highly analytical. Promotion for alcohol and tobacco products employ the peripheral route because they wish to draw attention away from thepossible negative effects that they are, in reality, associated with. To truly understand the effects of persuasion it is necessary to break the actdown to its smaller components. The for elements of persuasion are 1.) The communicator, 2.) The message content, 3.) How it is communicated, and4.) The receiver of the message. The content of the message is important but also whoever gives the message has an effect on people¹s acceptance ofit. The major determinant of the communicator¹s success are his/herperceived credibility and attractiveness. Credibility, or believability
The book, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert B. Cialdini illustrates the implementation of reciprocation, commitment and consistency, social proof, liking, authority, and scarcity. The book identifies these six principles as weapons of influence in aiding with persuasion. The following explains and applies each principle.
The textbook used in class (Huffman, 2002) describes that “advertising has numerous” methods to hook the individual into “buying their products and services.” The advertising. company surrounds a particular candidate such as a child and immediately sinks their teeth into the child’s mind to manipulate the child into desiring their products. Through TV, cartoons and magazine ads, children are hit by one subliminal message after another. They are shown how this product will improve their status by making them the envy of all their friends.
