Whether this is on the behalf of political, racial, economical, and or religious the American people would idolize someone to be their mascot so to say. This tactic can come to be brought about with the actions of the everyday working man “Sam Patch, a factory hand who, in the 1820s, became America’s first professional daredevil.

Advertisers use this technique to say that the company is more honest, credible, and even reliable so the consumers should purchase whatever they are selling. When a celebrity chooses to endorse a product, it leads the consumers to believe this product is more reliable. For instance, Drake, a well-known hip-hop artist drinks endorses Sprite. This makes the audience view Sprite as a hip drink and if Drake likes it, it must be good (Ethos, Pathos, and Logos - Rhetoric and Advertising, n.d.). A sufficient way to use ethos is by utilizing an expert to enhance credibility, such as using a dentist to promote a toothpaste. The audience begins to trust the brand because they trust the statement of a dentist (Ethos, Pathos, and Logos - Rhetoric and Advertising, n.d.).

This paper will delve into the changes that social media has brought upon Super Bowl ads and how this has translated into the present day brand awareness strategy that various companies have been utilizing. The Super Bowl is one of the most watched events in the U.S. and, as such, companies often attempt to capture the attention of the audience through a variety of entertaining and amusing commercials that are aired during the commercial breaks. It used to be the case that companies often attempted to top each with ever increasingly audacious commercials which were meant to get audiences talking about the company, thus creating a considerable degree of brand awareness among the general population (Barraclough, 2012). The result was that the constant one-upmanship by the various companies actually created a "secondary show", so to speak, wherein the advertisements that were telecasted during the Super Bowl became almost as relevant to the television audience as the main event itself. Such a state of affairs radically changed as a direct result of the development of social media and the need for companies to better connect with their customers through social media campaigns (Barraclough, 2012).

The business of sports marketing has become both lucrative and influential in shaping sport in general and the individual athletes.

4.) Michael Jordan is selling you Gatorade, Jerry Seinfeld is backing up American Express, and Paul Reiser wants you to use AT&T. Why do these famous stars appear on commercials and ads?

At the same time, the sponsoring companies can take the opportunities of being the supporters of an event to advertise their products and promote the positive values that represent their corporate social responsibility to the society. However, in a particular grand and well-known event like the Olympics, there can be questions raised about the relevance between some corporate sponsors and the values in sports. Dr. Susan Rose, a professor of marketing at Henley Business School, doubts McDonald’s, Cadbury, and Coca-Cola as being sponsors for the Olympics, as these brands own products that can be associated to obesity and tooth decay – the opposite of the values of health and sports (as cited in Smedley, 2012). Moreover, in order to directly promote their products, many companies choose to sponsor famous athletes whose characteristics and values best signify the features of the products; to successfully do so, mostly only well-known and charismatic athletes are selected. On the other hand, finance becomes an issue for less well-known athletes. Jordan Malone, an Olympic medalist in speed skating, reports that most athletes do not have full-time jobs due to huge devotion to training, and thus, have to rely on the fame that is gained through sport events, especially an event as renowned as the Olympics (as cited in Vasel, 2014). As a result, the athletes that are not signed for any brand contracts can have a difficult time trying to earn enough income. Furthermore, even for the all-star athletes: despite having contracts with the companies, those contracts can be canceled once the athletes have their reputation damaged, as
In dealing with New Balance’s weakness in the area of marketing it would be beneficial for the company to find a celebrity to endorse their product line. New Balance has always been against celebrity endorsements which emphasize fashion trends and sway potential customers more by popular personalities than by performance and function. This has severely limited the company’s ability to reach the same kind of global awareness as its competitors. New Balance should find a serious, yet well known athlete who holds to the same kind of ideals as the company, to endorse their brand. This will create the type of brand recognition that they need in order to stay competitive.
