Captain Morgan Spiced Rum Advertising
Jennifer Smith Christie Harper EN105 November 1, 2009

Magic Tricks Why do men always think that if they just have a drink all their insecurities will just go away? It’s all in the advertising. Advertising marketers are putting so much emphasis into making people feel secure that they are afraid to just be themselves. Captain Morgan has been promoting The Captain Was Here is their advertising which is a way to relate to shy men that with a drink of Captain Morgan they will be successful with women. Women know that it will take more than just a few drinks to be successful, that there is a lot more to a man than what he drinks. In order to be successful with a woman, it takes a man that is willing to be himself. Captain Morgan Spiced Rum ads both print and television is that they are focusing on how men can get lucky with the ladies. They are trying to brainwash men into believing that women will only be with a man that has enough confidence to make the first move. One main point that Captain Morgan nonverbally states to men is that without a shot or drink made with Captain Morgan Spiced Rum they will end up going home alone. Men are idolized in whatever schemes are established while drinking this alcohol and always get what they want if they just have a drink

This article is suggesting an impression of a man working his magic receives his prize of the woman that he can simply pull out of the hat. I am not convinced as it would take more then a drink and a little magic for a woman to go home with a man. This advertisement does not show a picture of reality, it is more of someone’s vision of a dream. If all it took was a little magic to have the woman of your dreams then there would be less alcohol consumed and more men with self

    Strategic message: In the advertisement, Bud light promises to offer a different drinkability. This strategic message is very weak, because I didn’t see any relevance between “drinkability” and “fitting into different occasions”, making the message disconnected with consumer motivations. Also, drinkability is a confusing word, and I had difficulties to understand what it really means in the commercial.…

    Literary Scholar Fritz Oehlshlaeger in his article “The Stoning of Mistress Hutchinson: Meaning and Context in ‘The Lottery’(1990)” argues that “ There is a strong pattern of detail in the story, then, suggesting that those who are most discomfited by, or resistant to are women. On the other hand, men control ‘The Lottery.’” He supports his claim by first discussing the task the women must face to not get chosen for the raffle by building a bigger family, then by giving evidence to the power men have over the women in the village, then comparing and contrasting similar situations like “ The Road through the Wall” and “The Witchcraft of Salem Village,” and finally by discussing how “The Lottery” needs to look fair for it to seem fair. Oehlshlaeger’s…

    Basing on Steve Craig’s study, I believe that Miller Lite “Man Up” is a Men’s Men commercial. At the beginning, the commercial took place in a bar where people was enjoying their beer. Suddenly, a young man about 30 years olds come and asked the female bartender for a beer. Then, she asked him does he care about it’s (the beer) taste. After he replied no, the bartender gave him a Miller Lite beer and mocked him “when you start caring put down your purse, I give you Miller Lite” . Although he explained that it was a carry-all, she rejected his explaining. After then, people see him as a “purse men”. This commercial definitely a men’s men because it is for beers, which clearly aimed at men. Secondly, the commercial manipulates the stereotypes…

    The first thing that you can notice with Courvoisie ad in the men’s magazine is the women straddling the bottle. The main desire that the creators of the Courvoisie is the sex appeal. With one of the oldest sayings is “sex sells” and with the role of Alcohol it increases the desire even more. The way that the bottle is designed is it is not designed for parties which is where they are trying to make it look like something to be consumed with one man and one women together not at a party, with the increase of alcohol it makes it seem more romantic. One of the key sayings that the creator came up with in Courvoisie was the “Imperial Cognac” making it seem very powerful and strong which is one thing that men want to feel. With the alcohol it is one of the things that men like about it making them feel…

    After examining the Skyy Vodka ad from Cosmopolitan, a few key details were noticeable. The foremost detail is the model holding the martini glass and flower. She appears to be sophisticated and dressed in formal attire, thus giving the assumption that she is of high class. This gives appeal to women because the ad is stating that the consumer, as well as the model within the ad, can be classy and sophisticated as well, if she drinks Skyy Vodka. In the background there are men, looking subdued and submissive. This gives the image that the woman in the ad is in control of them, thus letting the consumer assume that she can also be that woman. In general, women want to see other woman having power over men because it gives them a sense of control and strength. This ad demonstrates control over men and helps the consumer want to feel this strength as well.…

    The low intelligence level in this village also explains why ridiculous ceremonies like this can be carried out. The women are dressed very old fashioned, all with their dresses and aprons, following their "menfolk". It was preferred that the men drew for the lottery. This decision was carried out very formally and business-like, as if it was such an important detail. Why make it such a point to exclude women, but treat every other part of the ritual so informally? They even go as low as…

    The argument being made appeals to the audience's logos in the Old Spice commercial. For example, the commercial uses several underlying messages in the dialogue such as when Mustafa says, "Hello, ladies. Don't listen to him, listen to this..."Timber." In this quote, Mustafa is drawing in male and female viewers attention not only by his words but also with his charm. Mustafa is in a towel, he shows his even toned body and he uses it for attraction. Although, this commercial is not intended for women; it was formulated in a way to convince men that they need Old Spice to be liked by…

    When you read this, realize that I could have talked to you about the appalling American Apparel ads, which literally show girls lying in bed with their legs spread open. I had the option of ranting about Dolce and Gabanna, or Calvin Klein or any of these typical “lets have sex” ads. We all know sex sells, and I would only be savagely beating a long-dead horse to devote an entire paper to the ultra-sexualized way in which women are portrayed via submissiveness, insatiable lust, lack of intelligence. The advertising world has already marred so much of the image of women that the occasional positive ad is refreshing to say the least. But this paper is not about sex, so I will curtail my “everything is going to hell” rage that seems to be sprawling its away across this keyboard. No, I will instead focus on Old Spice, and more particularly its “Old Spice Guy” ads, which you will (hopefully) be able to recall with a smile and laugh as I delve into my insightful analysis.…

    Marxist: the Lottery

    The overall meaning of this story is portrayed through the use of literary devices which influence its feminist theme. The characters in the story seem to be driven by tradition and not common sense. Mr. Summers -the head of the community- as well as other townspeople do not question the tradition of the lottery, and it makes it seem like it is simply a blind tradition that has no other meaning than being a tradition. The women, however, are the ones who mention that other towns have done away with the tradition of the lottery. They are quickly silenced, though, by the men who are present, including Old Man Warner, who had drawn from the lottery more than anyone else in the town. The women in this village are seen as voiceless and through the characters of the women in the story, the reader can see how women are portrayed negatively.…

    The soft drink industry is one of great and increasing power. With powerhouse companies such as the Coca-Cola Company and Pepsi Co dominating the market, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group has remained a close competitor with their line of soft drinks. While the demand of carbonated beverages has consistently been decreasing over the past few years due to health concerns, the attraction to diet beverages has boosted due to the idea of it being a healthier alternative to full-calorie sodas. Perceived as a feminine beverage, diet soda has been one that is hard to market to male audiences who view it as a threat to their sense of manhood to be seen with a diet cola. With that being said, Dr. Pepper TEN is Dr. Pepper Snapple Group’s attempt to prove to men that there is a low-calorie soft drink option for them as well. A soft drink that is masculine and whose marketing strategy is aimed strictly to them. Facing great criticism with issues such as sexism and discrimination, the target market, marketing strategy, and overall product personality of Dr. Pepper TEN has, at times, raised more questions than answers.…
