Old Spice, a very popular brand of male grooming products, is manufactured by Proctor and Gamble. Old Spice was originally founded in 1934 by William Lightfoot Schultz. Proctor and Gamble is a multinational consumer goods company located in Cincinnati Ohio, and took over Old Spice in the year of 1990 from Shulton Inc. Ever since purchasing the company, Proctor and Gamble have continued to provide all original Old Spice products as well as many new products. Due to this, the line of Old Spice has been enhanced (History of Old Spice).…
The logical appeal in this advertisement comes at the bottom of the ad itself. The ad states that Lucky Strike cigarettes are produced from the best tobacco and completely out-perform the other leading brands of cigarette companies. Claims are made within the advertisement that the Lucky Strike is the only brand to feature such high quality tobacco in their cigarettes and that no other brand of tobacco products uses the best quality like theirs does. This can appeal to consumers in many ways, mostly because consumers want to buy the best product. If they are being led to believe that Lucky Strike cigarettes are better than the competitors, then they would be more willing to purchase and try the product. The advertisement also states that Lucky cigarettes are better tasting than the other leading brands. Now if anyone knows anything about human behavior, then it is known that human beings are creatures of pleasure and want the best. If we are presented with one thing that tastes better than something else does, we are more prone to purchase that product due to taste alone. Therefore, this cigarette ad has both the logical appeals of better quality and…

Have you ever heard the statement, a man that smells good is automatically attractive"? It's the first thing that I think of when I think of the Old Spice commercials. My favorite one is the one titled “Old Spice Mom Song”. This Old Spice commercial has caught the attention of over a million people across the world on both television and YouTube. This ad on YouTube was published on January 3, 2014, shows how mothers are upset and torn when their sons start using Old Spice products. When the boys start using Old Spice, it symbolizes becoming a man.…
This new controversial product falls between our social morals, and our nations devotion to capitalism. For years the United States has put forth an anti-smoking campaign with efforts to de-normalize the use of cigarettes in public spaces. By reviving cigarettes and putting them fresh into our minds through television and radio ads we risk the gain of popularity of smoking in our culture once again.…
The advertising of new products on the market is an excellent way to bring attention and get individuals to purchase them. A new product on the market that has been causing a lot of controversy is the e-cigarette, which is an electronic cigarette that "delivers nicotine to the lungs through a battery-operated vapor" (Fehling). This product in particular, has been the discussion of very prestigious federal industries in the United States. In this article about the "Advertising of E-cigarettes", the author argues that the advertising of these e-cigarettes should not be allowed by providing different sources of evidence which support their argument that e-cigarettes are extremely bad and harmful towards our society. In my opinion, the advertising and distribution of e-cigarettes should not be allowed because of their negative effects towards individuals.…

Cigarette advertisements were commonplace during the 1950s – a big change from television today. Some of the biggest tobacco manufacturers of the time spent a lot of money trying to convince us that smoking was sophisticated and fun, including Lucky Strike, Tareyton and Winston.…
That you are not just drinking beer, you are building friendships. As if Bud Light’s beer was the intermediary, used to gain friendship with other, which, in a figurative way is; in my opinion, now in days, whenever there is a gathering of people, celebrating something or just grouping for whatever reason, there is beer in the equation.…
The advertisement I’ve chosen to be my case of study in analyzing an advertisement through Barthes’ analytical model is an ad from Folgers Coffees. The ad is actually a print of a cup of Folgers coffee placed on top of manhole covers in New York City. Holes on the print allow the steam to come out, and the wordings around the cup read ‘Hey City That Never Sleeps. Wake Up. Folgers.’…

When looking at this ad, the first thing the viewer notices is a man running down a derby track, carrying a horse jockey. The next thing one notices are the horses running behind the man, implying that this man is faster than horses. How is this possible you might ask? Well it is possible, if you use Old Spice. With this ad Old Spice implies that their product is the golden key to unlocking your inner self and powers.…
Reynolds are finding new ways to market their products since they aren’t allowed to on television or in magazines. They are using “nontraditional” advertising by paying retailers to place their products in the most visible parts of the store (Brodwin). Brodwin also identifies R.J. Reynolds using flavors like orange-mint, chocolate, and vanilla in its Camel cigarettes to increase their appeal to youth and first-time smokers. Likewise, the tobacco industries also sponsor sports teams, concerts, and public arenas. Consequently, companies like ‘The Real Cost’ have exceeded the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation for achieving popular awareness levels (Duke et al.). According to Hayden, tobacco-control efforts have averted 8 million premature deaths in the United States. A study led by David Levy of Georgetown University in Washington, DC compared the difference between the life expectancy in 1964 to today; the study showed those whose lives were saved by tobacco-control efforts gained an average of 20 years of life (Hayden). “Cigarette smoking costs about $170 billion a year in U.S health care expenses” and two-thirds of those expenses are paid through Medicare or Medicaid (Preidt). Tobacco use is taking the money of taxpayers whether they smoke or not. Luckily tobacco control efforts are also being federally funded. The Tips campaign is one of the most cost-effective of all health interventions; this campaign cost $48 million and was the first federally funded national mass media anti-smoking campaign and led to 100,000 smokers quitting permanently (Preidt). Although tobacco companies are still able to make revenue the anti-tobacco efforts have proven to be effective and make a difference in the United States while saving federal…
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the United States, which annually is the cause of death for more than 480,000 Americans. Recent studies have proven that anti-smoking ads are an effective way to substantially decrease the number of smokers in the United States. As most people know, smoking is a very dangerous and life threatening habit, but what some people are unaware of is the detrimental effects that it can have on a person’s life. Graphic advertisements show people the gruesome effects of smoking and how they can alter your life. Through these advertisements, people are shown different diseases and other problems that are a result of smoking. Anti-smoking advertisements discourage people from smoking and…
The reason behind this is because when individuals encounter this ad their eyes are drawn to what stands out the most. Also, a reader can infer the biggest words are the most important. In this advertisement, the most eye grabbing phrase is, “call 1-866 NEW-LUNG” (TUPP). Horrifically, it is assuming that if an individual smokes they will need a lung transplant. TUPP places a logo of white lungs beside “1-866-NEW-LUNG” in hopes for people to understand smoking can affect internal organs as well as facial features. It is obvious why the Tobacco Use Prevention Program chose white lungs for this advertisement. They want individuals to understand that non-smokers should have untarnished lungs, which would appear to be white, and individuals that smoke have tarnished…
