Cancer, tumor, illness. All three of these things bring about a negative thought to the mind. The aches, the pains and the not-so-good feeling that comes from them are not enjoyable either. Just like feeling sick or having poisonous toxins in the body, food can have a similar effect on the body. Preservatives, dyes and syrups are put into many foods today that give off that not-so-good feeling. Larabar claims to be different from the rest of the food bars in which they are all-natural and will not give off a sluggish feeling. They achieve this sense of happiness and energy through positive emotional appeal, contrasting word choice and imagery between Larabar and their competitors. A big marketing strategy that is used in this ad is the theme …show more content…
Larabar’s jingle is upbeat and filled with joy. Instead of using comedic gestures or action packed scenes, Larabar chose to go the song route. For their purpose, the song matches the emotions alongside of the actions that are shown in the ad. When an audience hears a song and finds it catchy, they usually remember it and sing it in their own head. With that, since the song is cheerful; when the audience hears it, they may smile and become joyous. Larabar’s jingle seems to match the feeling that they are claiming to create when a person consumes their bars. The melody is not the only aspect of the song that plays a role in the ad, alongside that are the lyrics. At the start of the ad, there is a contradiction between the cardboard boxes at the stores and Larabar’s boxes. In the store, there are “little boxes filled with ticky tacky…[and] little boxes all the same” (Larabar). With this line of the song, Larabar is stating that they are different from the other uniformed boxes consumers see in the store. Then, there is another negative line stating that “some have food dyes and syrups and are made with preservatives…” and with that, the product is viewed as artificial. However, Larabar rebuts with the fact that they are made with “fruits, nuts and spices”, giving them a more natural appeal (Larabar). So, in the song, the beginning portrays the negative aspects and ingredients in the competing …show more content…
Boxes are a common theme throughout the ad and there is a large contrast in the way Larabar is conveyed versus the competing brands. Larabar uses the phrase “little boxes” a multitude of times in the ad to show the contrast in their products. Their boxes are smaller and with that, Larabar customers are able to fit more boxes in their grocery bags (Larabar). The more the merrier. On the contrary, their competing brands, sell cardboard boxes which are larger and tend to take up more space within the bags. These cardboard boxes also have a bland, dreary look to them compared to the bright, vibrant colors of the Larabar boxes. The contrast in color supports the claim that Larabar has a sense of joy from their products compared to the dull feeling that comes across in the competing brands. Larabar declares to be different than others with their little boxes. This is continuously supported by the lyrics, “little boxes all the same” and is portrayed in the ad by aligning all the dull, cardboard boxes in perfect rows and columns, indeed, illustrating that they are all the same (Larabar). Larabar’s little boxes continue to be different from the rest, not only in ingredients, but with color and care as well. There is a sense of carelessness from their competitors with the depiction of certain boxes possessing dents or sitting in storage

Yet this “Oreo Cookie” commercial is perhaps the most remarkable.

The signs employed within the ad and the connection between signifiers and the signified were subjective and based on cultural representations. The denotative and connotative meanings that a message represents along with ‘doctrine of sign’s’ known as iconic, indexical and symbolic dimensions engaged by the advertiser to send ideology and mythical messages within the Katy Perry ad, such as wealth, authority and beauty are desirable and this can be attained if you buy this perfume. On a border and more thought provoking ideological level, the ad could perhaps interpret the message of freedom, prosperity and justice that women have culturally fought for throughout history. The basis of the selling pitch of the advert is sex, beauty and wealth. A contradiction perhaps, is an alternate meaning with the syntagm “Own the Throne’ intentionally placed underneath her genital area with Katy’s legs crossed. This may signify a deeper meaning that she is truly the one that ‘owns’ her sexuality not the advertiser. It is crucial advertiser’s understand that accomplishment of linguistic and non-linguistic communication is a result of the integrated system of cultural norms that allows potential buyers, to organise their world and give collective representations.

Hershey’s and Quaker are two well established brands in the snack food world. The weight of their names carry a specific ethos; a persona that will influence the consumer to buy their product, as it is a name that the customer trusts. Two advertisements are analyzed, both found in a February 2007 edition of People magazine: Hershey’s Extra Dark Chocolate and Quaker True Delight print advertisements. The main connection between these two prints is rather apparent: they are both snack foods, and they contain dark chocolate. However, both prints, as they are introducing a new product line, paint a new image of their merchandise: this snack food is healthy, ergo this creation should be chosen over all other products. Hershey’s Extra Dark Chocolate utilizes a cause-and-effect strategy by outlining that consuming their dark chocolate will improve cardiovascular health, backed by the logic and ethos of a study performed by a well-known university. Quaker’s True Delights, however, emphasizes the fact that their product tastes fantastic and is low in calories, in addition to using their ethos of their brand. Ultimately, both products utilize their established persona to draw
In order for a company to prosper and grow, some look to new products and packages, new uses and/ or new markets. A few of the companies featured used their ingredients as a marketing tool; while others utilized their appealing catch phrases as the main tool in their marketing scheme. Often, during this type of product propaganda many is revealed about the company; while the product itself is tucked behind the hype and flashy words of the companies’ marketing geniuses. The companies featured in this module seem to stick to certain trends such as marketing to one group of the population. Of the marketing schemes that arise include, targeting children and using the “mommy, buy me that” factor, the “on the go” American, the creative individual, and women who want to eat and feel good about themselves doing it. Many of these strategies seem to work however, one might want to reflect on the truth behind this propaganda.
