Case Study: The Change
Big name brands are taking over the world, making people purchase their merchandise because their favorite celebrity is wearing it or because their favorite sports team is being sponsored by them. As for me Nike is my favorite brand because it has many ways on fitting their merchandise on me and not only does it help me with athletics but it also has many encouraging advertisements. The Nike advertisement that I chose encourages people to be the best that they can be just by using six simple words. My advertisement shows a helmet being held from the University of Oregon Ducks football team and the text next to it says “Everyone Loses Games. Few Change Them”. Explicitly the advertisement is telling people that you will lose a game, or a match sometime in your life but no matter what some people will be those that change that game. It features the University of Oregon football team one of the top ranked teams in College football, they are one of the top contenders to win the National Championship every year but as soon as they begin to lose or go down in a game then they have their star players step up to change the outcome of the game. But something that is not good about this ad is that it misuses the picture, a different picture would have been more moving and helped with understanding the meaning of the text really means. I really do think that this picture is really inspirational due to the real meaning of what the text is saying. What I got from the text is that you need to believe that even though you are going to lose a game be the player that can make a change about how you take the loss. This advertisement could have been taken many different ways by its viewers than the creator had originally intended; however the creator of this ad was just trying to advertise the college team that they were sponsoring. In the ad it shows how dedicated the school is to Nike because it shows that he is

    Nike, Inc. is known traditionally to be a brand suited for competitive athletes, with its origins rooted in selling athletic shoes, but over the course of recent years, the merchandise has expanded to include clothing and other gear to athletes and non-athletes alike. Nike has adapted its advertising campaigns to reach its eclectic audience by sponsoring globally renowned athletes such as Lance Armstrong. Though cyclists are in the minority of the athletic world and it’s fans, the campaigns involving Armstrong have been particularly persuasive because the overall message of the advert is focused on Armstrong’s battle and victory over stage three testicular cancer. The 2009 print appeared in Time magazine, proving to be emotionally powerful and broadly inclusive of its audience by elevating Armstrong to a status comparable to a hero.…

    This ad has a heavy emphasis on achieving and striving for greatness and links achieving and striving for greatness with the consumption of Gatorade. This commercial features prominent athletes across a wide range of sports. They include, Eli Manning, David Tyree, Dwayne Wade, Kevin Garnett, Abby Wambach, Serena Williams, LaDanian Tomlinson, Torah Bright, Jeff Gordon and Michael Jordan. The visual techniques are very prominent throughout this advert. Quick cuts between athletes and other sports create a quick flow to the ad. As well after every two or three athletes shown a Gatorade bottle is slammed onto a table, each bottle reading something different. Quotes such as “no excuses’ or “bring it on”. This helps the viewer to link the greatness and accomplishments of the athletes to the fact that they drink Gatorade. Cultural context plays an important role in this ad. It is assumed that the viewer has a reasonably understanding of sports in the US. In order to understand certain components of the ad, for example the helmet catch by David Tyree in super bowl 42 or that Michael Jordan is jumping in the air because he had hit a game winner in the NBA finals against the Jazz. However, this advert doesn’t just include highly decorated athletes it also includes unknown average everyday athletes such as skaters, street ballers, wheel chair basketball players and recreational soccer players. Gatorade…

    In this advertisement, it shows many different professional athletes such as Dwight Howard and Peyton Manning drinking gatorade products to stay hydrated. This is an example of ethos appeal because they are all well respected athletes in their specific sports, so many people trust that if these athletes trust these products to work for them then it could probably help them stay hydrated and maybe even become better athletes or all stars like Peyton and Dwight. It appeals to people who trust Gatorade and different athletic drinks. However, it does not appeal to people who believe that it does not help your athletic ability at all but just increases their sugar levels.…

    Kevin Plank Under Armour

    Nike has set the standard when it comes to the sportswear industry and while it may seem Under Armour mimics a lot of Nikes Advertising, the two actually differ greatly. UA acts like an underdog, while Nike is a mighty king. UA is very focused on professional athletes while Nike democratizes fitness. UA is about proving others wrong, while Nike is about doing yourself right. Under Armour has been extremely successful using this underdog approach and this campaign isn’t going to change that, but continue to strengthen that image. Under Armour provides role models that are more relatable to the average person. It’s more fathomable for a consumer to see the 6’2, 190 pound Stephen Curry rather than say a 6’8, 275 pound Lebron James. This campaign is going to be revolved around star studded athletes but ones that the average person can see themselves being. Everyone has been counted out or have been told they couldn’t do something. Under Armour is going to show that motivation and work ethic will help you get to anywhere you want to the campaign’s advertisements are going to reflect…

    There are four boys who each have something to say. The first is Dyjae, 15, Jordany,14, and Tyler,15. All of these teenagers are African Americans who have struggled in life and they all have a similar story. What connects them all is the fact that they each lost a parent or both parents and is trying to provide for themselves. An example of this is one lost both mom and dad, one at the age of 12 and the other recently. They all have one thing that they all comeback to which is Lacrosse. Lacrosse is their getaway. When they play nothing else matters and they forget about everything. Its their comfort zone. The thing that feels right. Another aspect that’s presented in this commercial is the drive that each of them have to be successful, the inspiration and the heart. It shows they play for two things: their parents that they’ve lost and themselves. The teenagers want to get better every day. Practicing in the rain. Whatever satisfies them. Dicks Sporting goods is giving them their spotlight and a voice to tell their story to the world. Showing everyone doesn’t always have to be labeled as bad. People can change and be successful. Referring back to the commercial when one of the boys said, “I used to be disrespectful and often mean, but that changed when I started playing…

    Since NIKE’s start in 1971, their brand and core messages has never changed. The only adjustments they have made through the years is how they market their brand and slogan “Just Do It”. “Just Do It” is one of the most recognizable and original slogans of all time; a 3-word sentence that Nike has used for the past decades. The remarkable thing about NIKE is that the company continues to do well by remaining consistent with its brand promise. NIKE isn’t inventing new things. It isn’t launching a ton of new brands. It isn’t reinventing the brand as a whole. It is selling sneakers and athletic apparel, just as it has been for over 50 years. They have unrelenting consistency, which has gained them great brand recognition and trust with millions…

In the article “Daily Mail” by Bianca London, applies “the campaign invites users to virtually compete against world’s top athletes (London).” The commercial is directed to all ages, and diversities. From watching the commercial I was able to detect who the audience was directed to, which was all athletes. The commercial uses the Nike moto “Just Do It” to motivate and inspire people not to be afraid and follow their dreams. Following your dreams and making anything possible by believing in yourself. They use multiply scenarios in the Nike commercial ad with examples that no challenge is a hard challenge. In the YouTube ad one of the examples was a person who liked to fight. He was using his fighting skill to bully another person in the commercial. The background of the YouTube commercial by Road26, says “pick on someone your own size or pick on someone twice your size (YouTube)”. Before you knew it the bully was on a football field by himself going against a team and then in a boxing ring facing Andre Ward that was bigger than him. In his eyes you can see he was ready to face his challenge. He still wanted to fight no matter how hard it will be. He accepted all the challenges he was faced to prove a point that he was a…

    Commercials are not always just informative, some convey a message so strong it leaves you thinking about it when it’s over. Most people could care less about watching commercials and would consider them a waste of time, but an opposite handful comes to find them interesting and useful. Many commercials target certain audiences, having the ability to draw the viewers in closer and closer wishing that it were never over. The Guinness Basketball Commercial of 2013 was a top-viewed ad around the nation for it is something that you do not see everyday. When watching this commercial rhetorically, you see things that many normal viewers would not and how well directed this piece of work really is.

    As individuals of society we are continuously and subconsciously affected by media’s tactics to persuade us into falling victim into their marketing schemes. Witty yet brilliant individuals cough up slogans that will inevitably affect many consumers to come. The advertisement that initially captured my attention was the Gatorade Sports Drink Commercial. To start off, the advertisement contained text and visuals that demonstrated that Gatorade is a necessity to succeed in athletics. Moreover, the commercial demonstrated with the assistance of Nba Stars Dwayne Wade and Kevin Durant, you need the nutrients that Gatorade provides in order to compete in sports and to become the ultimate athlete and champion. I believe this ad creates limitations and viewers are led to believe that they must consume Gatorade due to the…

One influential TV spot included images of athletically active girls and women, with the voice-over saying things like, “If you let me play, I’ll be less likely to drop out of school.” (Dworkin and Messner 556)…

    Nike's "Risk Everything" commercial aired two and a half years ago in anticipation for the 2014 World Cup. The purpose of Nike's ad was to show the consumer that their brand and product was superior to the competition. Nike used the enthusiasm and excitement swirling around the World Cup to appeal to the market in various different ways. The purpose of this is to show the audience that Nike's brand is capable of putting you in the place of your favorite soccer star and making you feel like one of the greats. This ad does a splendid job of targeting a wide range of people. On the surface it may look like the company is only targeting soccer players, but it could appeal to just about any athlete, or anyone who looks up to an athlete. Nike targets…
