Advertising in the beer market has led to thousands of commercials, however not all of them make the claim that they are the reason some of us were born. However, Miller Lite makes that exact claim in a commercial produced in 2014. Miller Lite is most famous for their tagline “It’s Miller Time”, but in 2014 one of their commercials that was aired during the 2014 World Series makes the claim that Miller Lite is the reason that many of us were born(iSpot.tv). The commercial was produced by the advertising agency WPP Group U.S.A. Inc., and aired a total of 2,229 times, the last of which was on November 3rd, 2014 (iSpot.tv). The commercial begins with a male voice stating the claim that Miller Lite invented the very first light beer and …show more content…

The commercial begins with a male voice stating the claim that Miller Lite invented the very first light beer and everything changed after that. It follows by stating it led to fewer guys with beer bellies, which led to more women being attracted to these men, which led to more dates, which led to second dates, and so on(iSpot.tv). All the while the scenes change with the times, going from the sixties scene to one in the seventies and then evolving throughout the commercial, eventually taking you all the way thorough marriage, and eventually insinuating conception of the person watching the commercial. The whole while trying to get the audience to follow along, and come to the conclusion that most of us were conceived with the help of Miller Lite Beer. It seems that the advertiser’s target audience would be people conscious of their weight who may be …show more content…
Not only is this a silly notion but it is an idea that could not be proven. There is no scientific data to prove that the invention of Miller Lite is the reason anyone is born. In this case the advertiser is using this statement to catch the audience’s attention, it is a marketing tool, which they were very successful with, because it definitely caught my attention. This along with the evolution of time and the insinuation of happiness every after would catch any audience’s attention. Even though it is a false claim and notably erroneous it does not take away from the affect the advertiser is going for. It seems to lend a helping hand to the originality and humor of the
Late night driving home, and a strange man is on the side of the road with an axe, but hey, he has Bud Light so why not offer him a ride? In this video ad of Bud Light a couple is lost at night in what seems the middle of nowhere. Seeing a man with an Axe carrying Bud Light Case, the male seeing that he has Bud Light wants to offer him a ride; they pull over and he gets in the car. A glass and bottle of Bud Light appears and the words “Always Worth It” displayed (Viral 0:24). Later, they run in to a mask man with a chain saw and is also carrying Bud Light, and so the male again was to offer him a ride and leads to the commercial ending (Viralstuff 0:28). In this ad, it attracts a white male, and female audience that has low income, and between the ages of 21 and 30, which makes sense because Bud light sell more to Hispanic males that have low income rate, and are between the age of 55-65 (Bud Light Consumer). The commercial will try to persuade you using ethos, logos and pathos. The ad shows that avid Bud Light drinkers will in
In 2011, Dr. Pepper 10 released a new ad campaign. Their new commercial’s primary purpose is to present a soda that is both healthy and still “manly.” In doing this, Dr. Pepper addressed a longstanding notion that Diet Dr. Pepper and Dr. Pepper Zero sodas are inherently unmanly. They attempted to reconcile this societal belief by creating a character that is extremely manly and still enjoys their 10 calorie drink. The average man is the target audience. They were hoping that they could target men that may want to drink more healthy beverages while still retaining their manliness. The character that Dr. Pepper creates to target this audience is a Paul Bunyan type. The actor has a long beard, is very rugged looking and shown being rowed down a river by a bear. The commercial is designed to bring back images of Grizzly Adams.
In this generation businesses use commercial to persuade different types of audiences to buy their product or to persuade them to help a certain caused. If you analyze commercial you can see how certain things play a major role in the success of a commercial. The ad I decide to analyze as an example is the commercial snickers used during the Super Bowl in 2010;”Betty White”-Snickers. This commercials starts off with guys playing a game of football with an elderly women know as Betty White. As Betty White tries to play football she is tackled to the ground. Her teammates refer to her as Mike when they come up to her to ask why she has been “playing like Betty White all day”. This helps inform the audience that Betty White is not actually playing but instead represent another teammate. As the guys keep arguing Mikes girlfriend calls her over and tells her to eat a snicker. Betty White takes the first bite and then suddenly a man appears in her place ready to finish the game. At the end of the commercial the statement "You're not you when you're hungry" is shown followed by the Snickers bar logo. What this commercial is trying to show is that hunger changes a person, and satisfying this hunger can change you back to your normal self. They use different types
Michael Messner and Jeffrey Montez de Oca explain that contemporary beer ads represent a desirable male lifestyle to reaffirm masculinity in a time when men are insecure. Their essay, “The Male Consumer as a Loser: Beer and Liquor Ads in Mega Sports Media Events,” goes on to list the reasons for their insecurities: historic and cultural shifts such as deindustrialization, declining real value of wages, feminists and sexual minorities. They support their main point by providing a window to the past as beer ads of the 1950s depicted a desirable lifestyle that was appropriate for post war style of living. By following the transitions of beer ads from the 1950s to now, we could follow the accepted lifestyles of the times during which the ad was made.
Postman states, advertisements were created to “appeal to understanding, and not to passion” (60). It is also stated that producers would make the assumption “that potential buyers were illiterate, rational, and analytical.”(58) Though Neil Postman makes it apparent that advertisers are not always truthful about what they say. Advertisers also tried to appeal to the masses by coming up with catchy slogans to lure people in.
“Every day in America, another 27 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes” (MADD). Budweiser, one of the first national beer brands founded in America, is currently the number three beer brand in the United States. In their “Friends are Waiting” commercial, the viewers see the emotional connection between an affectionate owner and his playful dog. This commercial mainly targets young adults because it is more likely for them to go out and drink. By using these rhetorical appeals: ethos, pathos, and logos; the Budweiser team persuades the readers to always come back home because someone is waiting.
Over time the use of alcoholic drinks has become an increasing problem. Budweiser is a company that makes and sells alcoholic drinks. Although they are well aware that the alcoholic drinks can be harmful when they are over used. To advertise their drinks they made an ad that not only advertised the drink but at the same time shows people that drinking and driving is dangerous and not only hurts the people doing it but also others around them.
commercial appeals to the demographic of young, entrepreneurial males who are wanting to become more than what people and society thinks they should be and they not only want to sell their beer but also have an underlying message of pro-immigration.
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. The commercial pokes fun at itself by talking about how this commercial is the best thing the marketing team can come up with, and that the advertisement
Sport is one of the largest mediums that corporations can utilize to get that mass message out to their customers. Many of us have different ways that “tickle” our fancy so to speak. What interests one does not necessarily interest another, but, even if one person can convince others to try a product or service a domino effect may occur. Corporations are always trying to “spice” up their advertisement. They probably do this to see if they can manipulate a consumer to try their service or product. For example, Budweiser has been running beer ads for many, many years and incorporated comedy into their commercials. They went from frogs to lizards to obnoxious acting. In my opinion, people are swayed by these tactics and tend to try a Budweiser beer more often than they had.
Humans are emotional buyers. They buy something because they feel a certain way, and then later justify the decision with logic. Budweiser's commercial is all about eliciting an emotional response. The psychology behind this marketing strategy is simple: A potential customer will view the "Puppy Love" commercial and have a positive emotional reaction to it, which will inform his or her beer-buying decisions in the future -- either subconsciously or consciously. In your own marketing initiatives, rather than trying to appeal to your target customers' logic, think about how you can appeal to their emotions.
Advertising has became a race, a race of passing information to customers in order to change their buying decisions. Because of that, it is difficult to keep the content of an advertisement true to the fact. Facts or benefits of a product are often exaggerated in modern advertisements. Brands create these new images of the product to expand the role of their actual service.
This advertisement makes Diet Coke popular because it focuses on why the consumers drink the product; it 's refreshing and does not cause weight gain. This is proved in the advertisement because the women portrayed are happy and having a good time while sharing a Diet Coke, which leads the consumers to believe that they should buy a Diet Coke as well. This association increases sales and helps improve the overall market
For many years, beer has accumulated the mainstream idea that beer is typically consumed in the party-type scenes. It has also created a popular thinking that young men that drink beer are manly, wild, girl-loving, partying individuals. Recently, however, it has seemed as though beer companies have begun to stray away from that way of thinking and have begun forming a new ideology. That being, that beer is an alcoholic beverage that can bring people together to have a good time. Guinness has taken this way of thinking and pushed it even further. With this ad, Guinness wants to show that men who drink beer can still be manly, but also sensitive, sympathetic and supportive at the same time. They show these qualities through the actions of the men playing the basketball game.
This advertisement most likely wants a universal audience so it does not try to appeal to a certain status or rating. It gives no sense of appeal to thrift or savings. This advertisement is most likely aimed at all consumers. The ladybug that was mentioned in the previous paragraph might even signal that they are trying to appeal to a younger audience as well. On the right side of this Coca-Cola advertisement, besides the Coke bottle, the creators have placed a quote that says, “open a Coke, open happiness”. This quote appeals to the consumers emotions because they try to infer that by drinking a Coke you, the consumer, will become happier. In the background they purposely made it look joyful to give a happy feel to the advertisement. The tone of this advertisement would have to be joyfull. Considering the creators most likely trying to portray to a universal audience, they want all consumers to take note of this advertisement and have no one excluded from purchasing their products. I don’t believe this advertisement is trying to offend anyone. In the Coca-Cola advertisement it tries to grab people's attention with its imagery, color, emotional appeals, plain folk, and loaded language. Loaded language is also a persuasive strategy. Advertisers use loaded language to include words in their advertisement that have a positive or negative meaning to help explain the advertisement or product. “In many cases, the shopper has been prepared for the shopping experience by lush, colorful print advertisements, thirty-second television minidramas, radio jingles, and coupon promotions. (Thomas Hine, Page 115) Hine is discussing how the consumers are persuaded to buy particular items even before going shopping because of the advertisements they have seen prior. Advertisements are the supplier's way of persuading and manipulating the consumers. Now I will talk about an
