In the early 2000’s, the Dove administration began searching for a way to revive a brand that was being dominated by competing companies. Struggling to keep the brand afloat, Dove had to think of a new take on advertising in order to gain the popularity of customers. The idea of beauty is often deceived through the media, especially with the types of advertisements used to promote products that are designed to enhance beauty. With a new, interesting idea, Dove was not only trying to gain back the buyers, but also was trying to change the conversation about beauty. This particular “Campaign for Real Beauty” by Dove advertisement, uses pathos and ethos to effectively persuade consumers that Dove supports “real beauty” which is located within …show more content…
The top box is the stereotype that would usually be associated with the image, and the bottom box is how Dove wants the public to view the woman. In this particular ad, there is a dark-skinned elderly woman wearing a head wrap whose face appears wrinkled. She has a gentle smile and kind eyes. Beside the image of the woman are the two check boxes, one that reads “wrinkled?” and the other reads “wonderful?”. Beneath the check boxes there is text that is printed fairly small that reads, “Will society ever accept ‘old’ can be beautiful? Join the beauty debate.” Dove is sending the message that we need to stop viewing women for what’s on the surface, in this case wrinkles that come with old age, and start seeing them for who they truly …show more content…
The first appeal used is pathos. When the advertisement is first looked at, the viewer notices the older aged woman and the creases on her face. This image might bring a reminder to the viewer of their own grandparents and how they don’t necessarily see them as just old with wrinkles. The emotional response can serve to remind the onlooker of the love and respect they have for their grandparents and how it matters more about what’s on the inside than their appearance. This idea of putting the words “wrinkled?” and “wonderful?” side by side is to give the audience the illusion that they have a choice on how they should view this woman. However, in reality, Dove is suggesting that we should view her from the inside rather than from her outward image. Not many women in today’s society desire to have folds on their faces and often times it brings women to the realization that they are aging, which for some can be difficult to accept. Dove is suggesting through emotional appeals that if society can begin to view the idea of beauty for what it is actually worth, then the whole way beauty is perceived will be more positive and realistic. Because Dove chose to connect with the viewers of the advertisement on a sensitive level, the consumers are more likely to support the Dove brand as a whole, leading them to invest in Dove products over other
The suit shows that it must be nice outside. The facial expression on the girl is not happy. The viewer will notice a black hairy dog pulling at her bathing suit. This is causing her buttock to be exposed. Expression is one way of showing what is happening in the picture and how the person reacts to the action. The black dog looks like he is having fun and trying to get the young girls attention. Tan lines shown in the picture also suggest that the young girl is out in the sun. It is possible that the undeveloped miss is at the beach having a great time when all of a sudden a random dog comes up to her. The action in the picture helps catch the viewer’s attention to look at the picture. If the audience can relate to the story being told, more people will pay attention and look more closely at the advertisement. The descriptive and relatable story is just another great aspect of this advertisement, the general mood and feeling is also a great factor to this advertisement.
This allows the audience to trust in Geico's services because of the level of customer satisfaction and the
One of the many consequential changes that has occurred that is often forgotten and underestimated is the incipient role of men in today's society. Men are different than those of the 20th century, but differing in a vigorous and bolder way. Before, men viewed strength as something you could physically obtain by bring home the money, doing labor work, or having muscles. However, the meaning behind “strength” would change over the course of a new era. The new face of men was ignored until Dove released it’s Men+Care products in 2010. Dove was commonly known for launching campaigns to avail women’s self esteem, helping them to realize their own value, until their 2015 “Real Strength” Super Bowl commercial aired to 114 million viewers. Rather than making another commercial about female products, they introduced a new line of men products which followed the previous ones released in 2010. The new campaign slogan being “Care Makes a Man Stronger”, summarized our modern day man in 60 seconds. The 60 second commercial shows men interacting with their children throughout the
Throughout the commercial sick children and shown being given different tests and laying in hospital beds. By showing these images the audience feels a sense of fear, loss, pain, and grief, even though they do not personally know the children. By not donating the audience does feel responsible for these sick children potentially losing their lives. At the same time the commercial causes such negative feelings, it also provides positive ones such as hope and pride. By donating to St. Jude’s hospital a child’s life can be saved and that is because of you. This is effective for St. Jude’s because most people would rather feel positive feelings rather than negative, so they are more likely to call and donate to keep that positive feeling going. Also, ending the advertisement on a positive note by telling the audience “You can bring them that hope” the audience is drawn into pathos all over
They try to play sexual emotions in advertisement. They show an attractive woman and a bottle of beer. They try and make it seem that if you drink their product that you can get this type woman. Also they try and use the emotions of the females talking about how a decent looking woman can become very attractive It also seems to draw onto girls that have a lower self esteem. Showing that you will become a much happier person if you are good looking and dressed very sexually, than if you are not the best of looking person.
This Dove magazine ad features three women standing in towels. They all have different ethnicities from left to right there is a black woman, a hispanic woman, and then a white woman. The women are all standing with big smiles showing their teeth . The black woman is curvier than the other two, and is shown with her left hand on her waist. The hispanic woman is turned to the side, but is facing the camera, and her left hand is positioned on her thigh. The white woman is thinner than the rest and her right hand is touching her right shoulder. Behind them are 2 panels, one with black bold lettering saying “Before” positioned on the left side, and on the right side is a panel with the same lettering saying “After”. The wood floor seems to be darkening
There are a couple of groups that this type of ad seems to really connect with and sink in. The first being the young, the reckless and those longing for love. Then there are those who want to feel that way, again. An older person in their 70’s and has recently retired, sees this ad, days of their youth would flood back in. This image captures the present and the past for both parties.
There is a cliché quote that people say, “Beauty is in the eye of beholder.” But in the essay “The Ugly Truth About Beauty” (1998) Dave Barry argues about how women who spend countless hours on their so called “beauty” whereas men seem not to care. Barry uses juxtaposition and exaggeration to poke fun at men and women behavior and shed light on the harm that the beauty industry is doing. When Barry argues his point of his essay he addresses both genders, but more specifically teenage to middle age men and women, but he writes about it in a humorous and light-hearted manner.
Perceptual interpretation is an important issue in this commercial. This is the main reason why it was not aired in the US, but in other markets across the world. This Dove Pro-Age campaign was aiming to change the perception of the way women viewed themselves. Many women, these days adhere to surgery or Botox to make them be perceivably better looking than their natural look. What this product line is trying to do is to allow women to see that they do not need any of those surgeries to make them be worthy and be considered beautiful in the society. The US media proposed that this ad campaign cannot be aired on network television because it showed too much skin, but I think that this is just a cover up. The media probably doesn’t want to alter the American viewpoint of beauty as of yet. They are still not up to the revolution of Dove’s viewpoint of beauty which is natural at a limitless age. In American society, the stereotype of beautiful women is portrayed to be slender, tall, and young; whom are all the women featured in ads such as Clean & Clear or Neutrogena. But Dove is trying to change that stereotype of beautiful women and make the statement that at any age and size you
(Adweek Staff). The many angled appeals to emotion were certainly the most compelling components of this advertisement. They served to fill the viewer with strong feelings of lovingness and happiness, which certainly could coerce the audience into using the product more frequently and awarely. The Paper and Packaging Board perfectly employ references to emotion in order to sway their audience into consuming their

The Dove campaign for Real Beauty was the brainchild of Ogilvy & Mathers, Edelman Public Relations and Harbinger Communications (to be referred to as simply Ogilvy) and the project was known as the “Evolution” campaign. The marketing campaign began in 2004 under the corporation known as Unilever. This diversified conglomerate is the parent company to the Dove Company’s line of beauty and body products. The campaign began as a result of survey conducted in which only 2% of women believed they were “beautiful.” Unilever saw an opportunity to reach a saturated market from a fresh perspective. After hiring Ogilvy, the message grew into one of the most successful advertising campaigns in Unilever’s storied history.
Dove was explaining that while people were loving her and raging like a storm, they really weren’t what she wanted in her life, and although they made a lot of noise they weren’t worth her
We live in a fast paced society that is ruled by mass media. Every day we are bombarded by images of, perfect bodies, beautiful hair, flawless skin, and ageless faces that flash at us like a slide show. These ideas and images are embedded in our minds throughout our lives. Advertisements select audience openly and subliminally, and target them with their product. They allude to the fact that in order to be like the people in this advertisement you must use their product. This is not a new approach, nor is it unique to this generation, but never has it been as widely used as it is today. There is an old saying 'a picture is worth a thousand words,' and what better way to tell someone about a product
