One of the largest and most controversial issues we as humans face, includes the protection and preservation of the natural world we call home. When a small group displays the potential to damage or destroy our beautiful land, the task lies with the people to eliminate such a threat. Between the years of 2004-2009, Greenpeace, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and others established the Kleercut campaign against Kimberly-Clark in order to prevent the destruction of the Boreal forest (Kleercut campaign, 2009). Kimberly-Clark is the world’s largest manufacturer of tissues; their most prevalent brand being Kleenex. Accusations were made against Kimberly-Clark noting that the virgin fiber used in its product is derived from wood pulp …show more content…
Every day, the Boreal forest is flushed down the toilet or thrown away by unsuspecting consumers across Europe.” Another sentence to the right contains the following information in the same black font: “By choosing more recycled fiber and less trees for its disposable tissue products, and by committing to environmentally sound logging operations, Kimberly-Clark could end its part in the destruction of ancient forests like the Boreal.” Directly below the prior sentence may be the most important peace of the advertisement of all, and it is in a bold, white print: “Tell Kimberly-Clark that you want it to stop destroying the Canada’s boreal forest. Visit www.stopkleenex.com” Finally, the sponsoring logo “Greenpeace,” can be found in the bottom right. The audience most likely ranges from teenagers to adults in the U.S. and Canada who care about the environment, endangered animals, and the Boreal Forest of Canada. The audience also includes those who have access to a phone or internet and can contact the Kimberly-Clark Company to voice their complaints with Kleenex. The goal of the campaign was to compel the viewer to make a difference and express his/her opinion about the situation. Greenpeace tries to accomplish its goal of changing the way that Kimberly-Clark makes the tissue products by expressing all three elements of rhetoric within the advertisement. First, the advertisement uses logos to persuade the audience not to buy
Throughout everyone’s lives either children and adults, brushing teeth is nessecary to maintain fine-white looking teeth. Yet many people who constantly brush when needed still fall short in achieving white, shiny, teeth even though they brush after every meal. This is due to stains from wines, acidic foods, or the coming of old age. Either one of these reasons could be responsible for why your white-shinny teeth become yellow. Imagine having a fine dinner with your special someone, only to smile and have them see your ugly, disgusting, yellow colored teeth. With 3D White Strips made by Crest, say goodbye to those ugly teeth and say hello to shiny, sparkly, white teeth. When people ask other people “How did you get your teeth so white?” Most
The main logo is what seems to be the second most ineffective part of the ad. Though it is the company that sponsored the advertisement and the brand name but it just doesn’t catch the first glance of the advertisement. It is located at the bottom of the page just above the second catch phrase, with white print on top of a red ribbon layout with a star on each side.
Aspen Skiing Company is being drawn into a risky alliance with Greenpeace led “Kleercut” about boycotting Kimberly-Clark industries. This report will focus on the major stakeholders involved in this case and my personal action plans to help avoided a negative backlashing from the environmental groups and the public.
This is no more apparent than in the poem that is written on the top right of the ad:
- Kimpton’s environmental sustainability initiatives have proven successful and beneficial both in terms of its environmental and business benefits. Environmental improvement is one of the benefits of diverting waste. Some of the benefits are exemplified in their rollout phases, including: introducing non-disruptive and cost-reducing operational practices such as a recycling program, non-toxic cleaning products, promotional materials printed on recycled paper, complimentary coffee that was organically grown,
Advertisements are all over the place, whether they are on T.V, or in a magazine, there is no way to escape them. They all have their target audience who they specifically designed the ad for, and of course they are selling their product to. This is a multi-billion dollar industry and the advertisers study any and every way that they can attract the consumer’s attention. Anytime a products advertising tagline becomes incorporated into a popular culture, a pinnacle of success has been reached. The “Got Milk?” tagline has been integrated in messages across the country such as churches, “Got God?” cheerleaders, “Got Spirit?” and even universities, “Got Whoop?”. The “Got Milk?” ads have
To commit ourselves to evaluating the old vs. new we have to first find examples of the two. What I chose to compare and contrast are ads that focus on capturing a particular audience, that audience would be the athletes on the hardwood. Pony has long been in the running for shoe corporations and has, as long as I can remember, made a decent focus on comfort ability and style amongst the ball players. “Just Do It” has never failed to get in the minds of every and anyone willing to lay on the line their sweat and grit in order to better their abilities in their particular sport or life. The products inspire those to just do what they need in order to get where they want to go. Nike can easily claim itself the top producer of
Advertising is the marketing of an idea in ways that encourages and persuades audiences to take some sort of action. In most cases, the action would be to buy a product or service while other are simply to raise awareness. Whatever the case may be, money is poured into advertising every day. Marketing agencies try various ways to convince people to buy their products using different persuasion techniques. After first examining an advertisement, one could analyze how each detail in the ad was specifically designed to affect its audience in a way that convinces them that they need what is being advertised. One would also be able to notice the values and important aspects of a culture through its advertisements. For
Every woman wants diamonds because they are beautiful, rare, and are a symbol of success. There is something about diamonds that make every woman want one. Diamonds make a woman feel bold, sophisticated, and powerful. Something magazine recently published a diamond ad for A Diamond Is Forever.Com. A Diamond Is Forever . Com is a website that does not sell diamonds, but displays all the new styles of diamonds and how to purchase or create the perfect diamond for a customer. In this ad they are advertising a new style of diamond ring called the right hand ring. The advertisement is of a young, beautiful woman staring directly at you with a seductive look. On her right had she is wearing a

The ad appeals to people's sense of emotion by showing them the image of an endangered species, particularly as a baby, a baby sea turtle. It then goes on to tell how this endangered species can have a better chance at life using nuclear energy. The appeal for logos is the least prevalent with only some facts about the amount of waste used by nuclear power plants compared to traditional coal plants. Ethos is used in the description of how little waste is used and how it does not affect the environment. All three appeals work together to create a very convincing argument for nuclear
One question was in my head when analyzing this ad: why is it a girl who is portrayed and not a boy saying ' Think it makes you handsome?'
When an advertiser places one of their advertisements into a newspaper, they want their advertisement to appeal to the readers of that particular magazine. They could have the exact same message, but considering their audience, they could make it more effective if they use a different strategy to market their product. This is very common for advertising strategies to change when the content of the magazine changes. You can relate the way that the magazine producers choose their ads by when Steve Craig says that " program producers and schedulers must consider the target audience needs of their clients" (162). The types of advertisements are driven by the content of the magazine. Sports Illustrated provides a
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
