Campaign Analysis: Geico's Boat Insurance
The product that is being advertised in this promotional video is Geico’s boat insurance. The target audience in mind for this product are people who own boats. This promotional video takes the viewer on a short journey of “why’s” and “why not’s” through the simple life of a fisherman.
The commercial is about a guy who has not called Geico to get insurance for his boat – a fact that gets rubbed into his face by the neighborhood fish. They all get a turn to laugh at him for the dumb decision he has made of not calling Geico. He later changes his mind saying that maybe he will get a rate quote... and then implies that he might just turn his newly found friends into his dinner.
It would be best to cast someone who is between the ages of 30

    First off, the use of sharks swimming around in their tank with smirks on their faces is an excellent way to capture the reader by its use of pathos. It plays on the emotions that are attached with the thought of sharks and what they are capable of. The only wording in this advertisement besides the title on the building is, “Come on in… the water’s fine…”. This also appeals emotionally to the reader because it suggests the sharks are saying it. Alternative financing lenders can be clever in their use of wording to attract consumers.…

    The commercial uses the element of ethos to appeal to authority. The commercial does this by using a physically attractive male who immediately demands your attention at the beginning of the commercial by commanding “look at me; now look at your man, now back at me”. This immediately builds up a sense of respect and authority from the speaker, and helps build up the credibility of the commercial.…

    Taco Bell uses humor as one of their many techniques to draw in the audience to the commercial. Humor is a good technique that most commercials use because it tends to make people happy and more interested. Taco bell did exactly this. After the old man sneaked out of the nursing home the commercial takes us to one of its first scenes. This scene shows the senior citizens stripping down, jumping into a pool, while laughing and having a good time. This scene is very humorous because how often do we see the people that we know as “Grandma and Grandpa” stripping down into their underwear for a late night swim.…

    Describing the advertisement that Crown Royal has made. All puns aside however, this ad happens to not only be inappropriately funny yet cultured, but also remarkably clean. The advertisement I chose by Crown Royal surprisingly actually advertised the alcohol, not sex. A flat advertisement technique through a subtle textual implication and a gorgeous bottle help this alcohol to sell itself. The catch line being ‘Cruelty towards animals.' Is hilarious in its depiction of a fish unable to reach the glass of crown royal due to its bowl. With no or little underlying meaning, the customer is left to be sold the drink through the bottle's lavish design and amazingly cut glass. Interestingly enough, it seams the Seagram's company believes there drink good enough to sell itself without much if not any outside influence within the advertisement, which is completely unusual in liquor companies that commonly use sex or flashy catch phrases to sell alcohol. Incredibly funny, yet tactful, the advertisement set forward by Crown…

    During the Second World War, the United States, like many other nations at the time, made heavy use of propaganda and advertisements to support the war effort, inspiring citizens to ration supplies, donate money, or even enlist as a soldier. These advertisements would invoke feelings of patriotism, unity, and affiliation for its readers, urging the necessity of the reader’s support despite not always being financially beneficial for the donator. Out of all the adverts throughout the Second World War, there are perhaps none that represent these feelings than that of the war bond. A war bond, simply put is an official “I.O.U” from the government. The idea being that citizens would finance military operations…
