Commercials are intended to sell a product or to educate people. In the Commercial “First Date” advertising the 2016 Hyundai Genesis luxury sedan and staring Kevin Hart, the car company aims to reach a broader audience. This was aired during Super Bowl 50th. While some aspects of American culture have changed, there are some fundamental beliefs that have stayed consistent for years. What has remained consistent is; that Fathers will always be protective of their daughters, and that people will spend money on technology if it makes their lives easier. These two points are emphasized in this advertisement. I believe that this commercial is very persuasive in getting its target audience to consider purchasing this vehicle or at the least investigate …show more content…
To get a time slot for a commercial during this event is highly coveted and expensive and these time slots are short so the advertisement needs to be creative and get to the point quickly. This commercial was presented to a global audience and emphasizes the value of safety and convenience which appeals to most everyone. The commercial make the argument that everything that you value, your child, your car, etc... will be safer if you know where it is at all times. It shows that the father (Kevin Hart) always knows where his daughter is because he knows where his car is thanks to his car finder app. The persuasion is for you to buy the Hyundai genesis and not only will you have a great car, but you will also know where it is at all times. The advertisement utilizes Ethos, mostly because the commercial emphasizes the characteristic spirit of a culture of a Father protecting his daughter and doing what he feels is right and within his power to do. He utilizes technology to accomplish his goal. There is some utilization of Pathos, because some may pity the young man who is courting Kevin Hart’s daughter or feel sadness for the young girl because her date was ruined but the smile on Kevin Hart’s face at the end of the commercial is the …show more content…
A Father is still overly protective of his daughter and that may never change. The dichotomy is that the commercial displays old values and at the same time emphasizes “The New”, that technology is the future and has the goal of trying to improve our lives. I believe this advertisement completely achieved it’s goals with its audience. This commercial aired in February 2016 and the recent US News and World Report ranks the Hyundai Genesis 4th out of 17 for midsize luxury sedans. Although we won’t know about total sales yet for this year, In USA today’s Money section this commercial received first place honors with the Ad Meter. For 28 consecutive years, USA TODAY’S Ad Meter has stood as one of the nation’s most closely watched gauges of advertising success. This is extremely important given the fact that 30 seconds of airtime in this year’s Superbowl cost 5 million dollars. Hopefully Hyundai sees return on this
Watching the commercial for the first time, keeping in mind how it used pathos, ethos, and logos, I noticed that it does not utilize ethos nor logos to promote the commercials product. The commercial relies heavily on pathos to connect with its audience. The commercial plays on such emotions as: patriotism, encouragement, and inspiration. The advertisement also speaks to a comprehensive
Most commercials that advertise products often throw them in the viewer’s face. Companies believe that their product is the best and people should buy it because of their many different reasons. Commercials normally share important information about the product; maybe how much it costs, the special features that make it so great, and how someone can get their hands on it. This one is different. The Chevrolet commercial “Maddie” creates positive attitudes and emotional connections to promote its product with a down to earth, heart touching story that audiences can relate to.
Advertisers show a brand new shiny car with someone driving it looking happy or cool and they are trying to make people think that they will be that with their car. Like the person in the commercial, they are hoping ignorance will come in and people will try to transfer the advertisement to their life. The Lincoln commercials with Mathew McConaughey use this fallacy. They show a cool actor driving a sleek , expensive car wearing a suit and they want audiences to want to be like the famous actor and be cool. The new Honda commercial does something similar in the fact they show people driving their car having the time of their life, having a big grand happy time. Honda wants people to think that they will have that much fun in their car. Making customers want the commercial to transfer to their
Crafting an argument and trying to get a message across can be difficult to do through text. Using a commercial as a rhetorical device, an audience can create a better and more complex imagine that text alone could not. In 2015, Dove released a commercial to launch their new Dove: Men+Care Campaign which aims to show the new face of masculinity. In an emotionally crafted commercial, the organization uses rhetorical appeals, provides evidence, and contradicts social and situational conventions, in an attempt to convince the audience of their argument that masculinity has changed. Men don’t have the same imagine of “strength” and now use fatherhood to reflect it.
GEICO’s advertisement located in Men’s Health November 2016 issue targets car owners through the use of several tactics such as segmented targeting, hooking the audience, and appealing to the audience while prying for consumers to make the simple choice; to chose GEICO over their competitors. GEICO is the second largest and one of the fastest growing private auto-insuring companies in the United States (GEICO, 2016). The target audience is reached through the imagery of a stack of cookies to correlate the greed and desire received from the food into the experience provided by insuring your car through GEICO. Additionally, GEICO strives to target customers through attempting to cater to their needs with the intended end goal of persuading them to choose GEICO over the “other guy”.
Over 17 million cars and trucks are sold around the world every year. Amongst the plethora of car companies aiming to convince shoppers that their car is paramount, marketing teams ought to go the extra mile. By developing a persuading advertisement, companies are more likely to sell their products. On February 6, 2011, Volkswagen aired a Superbowl commercial for the first time in over ten years. This commercial would be one that awakens the inner child of millions. By employing pathos, ethos, and logos rhetoric techniques, Volkswagen is able to appeal to consumers in order to sell their new car.
To start with, the music that is used is very upbeat. In particular, in the background the audience can clearly hear a guitar playing, and can feel the beats from the drum. This draws in the attention of the audience in how the music makes the experience of buying their first car a simple process to go through. The fact that buying a car is a serious process to go through, the music helps them through the process of buying their own car. Also, the lyrics of the song are very powerful. For example, the lyrics of the song say,“Hunt you down eat you alive, just like animals, animals, like animals-mals.” The target audience is engaged in the musics lyrics because this is a generation that are into weird and crazy types of music. The music that is used in the commercial attracts the audience because of how catchy the lyrics to the song are. Finally, the sound effects accents whats happening during the video. To illustrate, when the main characters are at the desk the audience can hear beeping sounds, and can hear sparks going on in the background of the commercial. This attracts the attention of the target audience in the fact this is a generation that is surrounded by technology, and uses it in everyday life. This is a generation that uses technology in order to buy items off of the internet. To Conclude, this commercial is very effective in catching the attention of young adults that are into weird and crazy
Lincoln has come out with a series of commercials starring Matthew McConauhey who because of his smooth southern accent can make you feel very comforting in anything that he says. I am going to analyze a Lincoln commercial that is trying to show that they’re car is very environmentally friendly but are playing it off like it’s a by-product of making a nice car this is not true and through a series of arguments I will show you that. This commercial uses
Companies use advertising to persuade the feelings of their buyers. This advertising gives the viewers the feel of an alternate reality, rather than a simple use of a product. For example, looking at Lincoln’s official commercial for the MKX, it is clear to see that Lincoln is not trying to sell just a car, they are trying to sell the experience. I believe that this commercial does a very good job at portraying the attitude towards reaching a neutral crowd, and that Lincoln is trying to make their viewers feel a sense of elegance of owning and driving the MKX.
One of the commercials for the Super Bowl 50 was the "First Date" commercial, which starred Kevin Hart. This commercial was trying to persuade you to buy a Hyundai, while also entertaining you in the process.
The nissan commercial consists of a woman telling her significant other that she is pregnant and the soon to be father doesn’t have another room in his car for a child. In the nissan commercial, the father stretched out his car to have another seat for the unborn baby and into his dream car. In reality where you must go through a long process of choosing and buying your dream car, the father magically stretched it out free of charge. The commercial is saying about American culture is that American culture has an easy life when obtaining a new car compared to other places. Americans value easy life and going smoothly when unexpected circumstances come their way such as having a baby. Life isn’t simple where you can get a baby by having sex,
The car company wants the average male to think that this car will make his life a whole lot better. The audience is neutral. Mercedes is trying to get people who have not made up their mind about buying a car to buy car. The car is not just for the wealthy, because part of the pitch is that the car is affordable for an average middle class person. The commercial is more targeted at males because the car is more masculine.
I think this ad is targeted to women and parents who have children. This is because the narrator contemplates what is the best to tell his daughter that she should focus on the progress rather than the result. It is similar to Audi' mission because everyone has the rights to make progress without discrimination that can benefit everyone. Therefore, Audi of America emphasizes " Equal pay for equal work" in the commercial as "A 2016 report by the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee found that women were paid 21% less than men on average." mentioned in Youtube description. I also believe Audi' car not only for men but also for women. In my opinion, Audi delivers their message effectively because they appeal their target to feel included that
Let's take Subaru as an example. In their “making memories” commercial, a father is seen cleaning a car that will soon belong to his daughter. Each item he comes across triggers a memory of her time growing up like a crayon from her days in elementary school. As she drives away, the Subaru logo comes on the screen showing that Subaru is a safe car that you would want to give to your children one day. Many of their cars also have Eyesight Driver Assist Technology which as they put it “ is an extra set of eyes on the road, and if need be, an extra foot on the brake when you drive. This will help many teenagers on the road as they start to drive, keeping them safe and others around them safe too. (Subaru,
Finally, a car that can get me wherever I need to go and beyond! Is that the first thing that comes to mind when this advertisement is seen? Well obviously this car can’t take anyone to the sun. But, doesn’t it make the reader wonder how far it can actually get them? I don’t know much about anyone else but it makes me want to scope this car out and see what it is capable of!
