Consequently, this created a misconception about T-Mobile amongst consumers that they could not uphold their word. Having said that, T-Mobile has come a long way since that campaign and has been constantly trying to re-establish their image/brand amongst its future and existing users. Currently under their new vice chairman, Jasmine Montgomery T-Mobile have increased their marketing budget to £115 million to support their slogan “We are the ones to catch”. From T-Mobile’s marketing strategy we can understand that the company is trying to play against their odds and come out a winner. In a situation where all the firms in the Telecom industry are not increasing their marketing budget, T-Mobile hopes to differentiate itself amongst in customers in hope of a better future.
One of T-Mobile’s promotional strategies is its employment of viral marketing through videos.

An article by Wave Metrix states ‘In its latest TV advert T-Mobile continues to engage consumers through entertaining video content, but fails to generate significant brand and product discussion, due to insufficient information about the ‘You

In most commercials, with the little time span they have, they must display their product, they usually try to persuade the viewer to either donate, buy or switch. In these commercials on tv, they use rhetoric appeals to do so and try to keep the viewers’ attention, same with these two mobile companies. While both use all the persuasive strategies, At&T connects through pathos and logos while Sprint relays on ethos and logos. They use these rhetorical appeals differently to keep the viewer wanting to learn more and potentially change to their product. Rhetorical appeals are used in both commercials, but one effectively uses these persuasive strategies to convince the viewer to switch to their network.

Commercial advertisements create a strong presence in the media due to the power of persuading the audience to buy a certain project. The commercial is promoting the use of diet coke and using Taylor Swift to do so. Diet Coke is a sugar free, soft drink that is very popular, it is promoted and distributed worldwide by Coca- Cola. Coca- Cola spends nearly $3.499 billion in advertisements yearly (Investopedia, 2015, 1). This ad catches the eye of the audience with the use of Taylor Swift and the adorable kittens. In this commercial, it is clear that with every sip the pop-culture singer takes of the Diet Coke, more kittens seem to appear in the apartment until the whole apartment becomes invaded with the tiny kittens. This advertisement efficiently delivers the point to the audience during the commercial video by encouraging them to drink their product Diet Coke while trying to increase the consumption of their product, attract more viewers, and sell more of their product.

Jazz music can be likened to a progressive work of art. Throughout its history, Jazz music theory and techniques are continuously advancing and reforming as musicians pursue their interests by seeking new methods of expression. Jazz evolution is perpetual, and can take the form of incorporation of new techniques, adoption of more intricate harmonies and rhythms, or establishment of more elaborate melodies (Gioia). The early 1940s saw an increase in the number of Jazz modernists. As swing music declined in popularity due to various effects of the Second World War, Jazz branched into two very contrasting musical styles. The first of these new and unique styles of Jazz, called Bebop emerged in the 1940s, and was the product of numerous jam sessions in back rooms and after-hours clubs. The movement that unfolded in the later 1940’s and 50’s, called Cool (sometimes referred to as West Coast Jazz) came as a response to Bebop’s later demise. Even though Bebop and Cool stemmed from the big band music of the swing era, their differences are apparent. From its conception, to its musicians, to its audiences, Bebop and Cool came into the Jazz timeline for different reasons. Nevertheless the two musical movements ultimately left a long-lasting and distinctive influence on Jazz music, which is still manifested in Jazz music today.

According to Fred S. Kleiner (2014), the Parthenon was the Periclean’s building program on the Acropolis.

The Aural Plus does this with its enhanced features while at the same time appealing to both the youthful, fun loving crowd as well as the conservative socially responsible. With such a wide ranging demographic and potential consumer base, the Aural Plus has significant potential to become a major competitor in the cell phone market.
