To engage, to cut through clutter
My favourite ad campaigns are Chanel – Nicole Kidman, "Little Bit Dead" TAC drink driving advertisment, lastly the Melbourne International Comedy Festival ad 'You 're Not Funny ' by Clemenger Melbourne.
Firstly, a little background on Chanel. As we all know, it is relatively well known as a luxury brand, and its advertisement with Nicole Kidman is by no means in your face or overpowering. It used the weak
In the year 2005, the highly awaited advertisement from Chanel for the perfume ‘ Coco mademoiselle’ featuring the Australian actress Nicole Kidman as the face for the new fragrance.
This advertisement was displayed in women’s fashion magazines, such as ‘Vogue’, all across Europe and the United States. The image shows the young, beautiful, glamorous, Keira Knightly holding a bottle of the perfume while looking straight into the camera.
Most people who view this advertisement are at least faintly familiar with the Chanel fashion house, especially women. The advertisement relies on the company’s prior ethos appeal by making Chanel’s trademark one of the first things the viewer sees. When the target audience sees this word ‘CHANEL’, one immediately recognizes the credibility and status of the fashion house. Chanel has been building up its character and credibility for over one hundred years. The fashion house has become iconic due to its originality and its now trademark clothing design. Chanel symbolizes the ultimate image of class, sophistication, and beauty because of its impeccable

    In this Nina Ricci perfume advertisement we see Canadian model Jessica Stam pictured twice in nearly identical outfits. In this advertisement she is rocking a leather-looking dress, black kitten heals and cat ears to complete the look. Her eye make up is a classic dark smokey eye.

    My favorite comedy commercials are the: Jack Links: Messin’ With Sasquatch series. I chose one of the original Jack Links commercials where the scene is on a golf course. The ad is advertising for a brand of beef jerky. Although the actions of the commercial have nothing to do with beef jerky, it is still successful because it makes everyone think of Jack Links beef jerky when they think of the Sasquatch. The commercial also does well appealing to the intended audience; which, is males. The Jack Links beef jerky commercials are effective because they add humor while doing a great job of advertising for their product.…

    When thinking of advertisements, for some odd reason, I immediately will think of Cover Girl makeup ads that are often found in almost every woman’s magazine. However, this particular advertisement features country music superstar Taylor Swift and very similar to all of their distinctive ads focuses mostly on her face. This ad is for their new “natureluxe silk foundation- luxury touched by nature.” From this relatively simple ad, as it only contains a close up of Taylor Swift as well as text, it allows for the discussion of it’s unique aesthetics.…

    Advertisements are messages that are intended to influence their audience. Their sole purpose is to raise awareness of the existence of their product in the people whom they target and to promote the benefits of buying or using it. In our society, many people are trying to transform themselves into someone they are pretending to be. This may be for many reasons, but the main reason is because of influence from the media or different kinds of advertisements. This is especially the case for most of the women. There is a phrase “Beauty is as beauty does”. This is a phrase that most women across the globe seek to fulfil everyday of their lives. They exercise, put on their jewellery, pick out their outfit for the day and, most importantly, apply their makeup. Putting on makeup does not mean that a woman wants to give up her natural appearance and change into a different person. It means that makeup should be able to enhance their natural beauty at an affordable price. Covergirl has been proving this to its customers. This the main reason of choosing this ad.…

    This specific commercial advertises CoverGirls Natureluxe Silk foundation using Taylor Swift. She is a perfect person to use in a commercial that is marketing their product towards teen girls. At only 22, Taylor has made a lucrative career out of writing songs about growing up and discovering yourself. Throughout the commercial she glows, she looks happy and completely natural throughout the entire thing. It’s as if she doesn’t even have make up on and it’s captivating. Plenty of young girls throughout the country look up to her for this reason. They feel like they can relate to her realistic life situations she puts into her music and because of that they are more likely to sway towards what her opinion of everyday things are such as make up as it is clearly shown in the advertisement.…

    The iconic perfume Chanel number 5, 1937 advertisement, what makes it powerful, Unique? The answer is simple the ethos used in the commercial, which is Madame Gabrielle Chanel herself. Coco Chanel did not only market the fragrance herself, but also it was the first fragrance to be marketed by a designer’s name, so the ethos was used here twice, once as the name of the perfume and also her own figure, standing in her suit Ritz, proud, chic , well dressed, and iconic, not paying attention to the camera, but instead looking into her challenges and achievements, as if they were running in front of her eyes, those flashes and images, were the power that gave her that strength to stand like that, an advertisement like this with a person who can be a raw model for many women inspired me a lot, and changed my point of view of perfume from a beautiful and feminine to powerful.…

    Jean Kilbourne is an author, speaker, and filmmaker who is internationally recognized for her work on the image of women in advertising, specifically from her article, Beauty...and the Beast of Advertising (“Jean Kilbourne Full Biography”). As a researcher on the image of women she wrote this article which gives insight into the effects of how women are portrayed in advertisements and who benefits from it all. First, she begins the article by stating that “the average American is accustomed to blue-eyed blondes seductively touting a variety of products” (Kilbourne 1990). By saying this she is generalizing that all models are blue-eyed and blond (see Figure 1). Although the February 2017 edition of Vogue had a majority of models with darker…

    Through discourse and representation the media constructs texts to be read or viewed in a certain way by a specific audience. The text which will be analysed within this essay is the Givenchy Advertisement for the men’s fragrance ‘Pour Homme’. Through the discourse of gender, this advertisement represents women as submissive and sexual objects whose only purpose is to seduce men, and in doing so it privileges traditional masculine views of femininity whilst marginalising women. Through various gaps and silences the advertisement only includes certain aspects so that it is viewed in a certain way, and portrays certain values and meanings.…

Our focus will NOT be on the ‘nuts and bolts’ of the advertising industry, nor will the course teach you how to create advertising campaigns, or how to design marketing strategies. Instead, we will draw upon different critical theories and empirical research methods, as a means of reflecting upon the broader social and cultural dimensions of advertising.…
