Super Bowl Advertising
The Super Bowl is one of the most watched event worldwide. This event gives a chance for Americans to get together and celebrate the championship of NFL. Many individuals watch the Super Bowl for not the game but the extra entertainment that is joined with the event.This extra entertainment can be referred to the Half-Time show and/or the advertisements shown during the breaks. To start off, advertising companies invest more than five million dollars to show their advertisement and that does not include the production cost. Adding all the costs together will bring a total of more than twelve million dollars. Advertising companies take a long period of time to think of ideas of how the can make their commercial effective to the audience. There …show more content…
During this year’s Super Bowl, most of the advertisements aired touched base on the diversity of America and how everyone is connected. For example, The Coca-Cola ad that was shown this year had different cultures sing the song “America the Beautiful” in their own languages. This shows how even though everyone is from different backgrounds, in America everyone is connected through, in this case, Coca-Cola. This advertisement had perfectly shown what product was being sold and how it was being used. The company took current world events and contributed it in their commercial, which was very effective. Individuals all across the world can relate to this ad due to its impactful message. This ad had been taken in a negative way for some …show more content…
They had stated that this song is pure American and should only be sung in English. This issue can impact many individuals across the world because a very famously known company, Coca-Cola, is trying to spread a message while at the same time trying to sell their product, and the audience is not responding to the ad in a positive way. Many people had also decided not to buy the product because they assume that Coca-Cola does not know the true meaning of America. Therefore, there could always be a positive or negative side to the advertisement shown because the audience has different opinions. Another way to attract the audience is that many other advertisements used celebrities in their commercial to attract the audience. At the end of the event, often the next day many websites and articles write about the best and worst advertisements of the Super Bowl. This can be judged by a voting system. Individuals can go online and vote for their favourite ad. This can also give the advertising companies an idea of how their ad turned out and if the audience enjoyed watching it. The Super Bowl advertisements have a big impact on the

    The producers of this commercial knew its target audience and went after it. It had a strong attention getter. Right from the beginning this commercial had my attention and maintained it throughout the entirety of the advertisement. It had strong appeals to pathos, ethos, and logos. This commercial worked for me, but for others I can see how this commercial came up short in getting their attention. For example, my views towards the music choice, the girl, and scenery corresponded well with what I wanted to see, but if you asked my mother about the commercial I’m sure there would be a completely different reaction to the commercial. In fact when I was watching the commercial in class in preparation for writing this analysis the girl who sits behind me watched the commercial over my shoulder and said that she thought the commercial was “ stupid”. It wasn’t until this moment that I realized the importance of pathos, ethos, and logos and how different each person’s appeals truly…

As he is driving, words appear on the screen: “The will to succeed is always welcomed here.” This is the only use of text and the only words in English in the commercial. Yet, the words leave the viewer to think and reflect on what the true meaning means. Not that they are supporting illegal immigration or don’t support trump, but the will and determination of a mother to create a better life for her daughter, and their journey together to…

    This article was written by Maggie Astor, a reporter on The New York Times, a newspaper considered to be one of the most reliable source of information. Astor also has a degree in political science from Barnard College, therefore the information she provided is highly credible. In the article, she reports of a recent Dove ad that caused an outcry in the social media for its racist undertones. Astor quotes Dove’s spokeswoman and her apologetic remarks, stating that the ad was intended to convey a different message and that the company will re-evaluate its internal processes for creating and reviewing content. Critics are unimpressed of the apology. Astor then lists examples from the past of ads that were accused of racism: Intel, Popchips, Nivea…

    According to Robert Scholes, author of On Reading a Video Text, commercials aired on television hold a dynamic power over human beings on a subconscious level. He believes that through the use of specific tools, commercials can hold the minds of an audience captive, and can control their abilities to think rationally. Visual fascination, one of the tools Scholes believes captures the minds of viewers, can take a simple video, and through the use of editing and special effects, turn it into a powerful scene which one simply cannot take his or her eyes from. Narrativity is yet another way Scholes feels commercials can take control of the thoughts of a person sitting in front of the television. Through the use of specific words, sounds, accompanying statements and or music, a television commercial can hold a viewer's mind within its grasp, just long enough to confuse someone into buying a product for the wrong reason. The most significant power over the population held by television commercials is that of cultural reinforcement, as Scholes calls it. By offering a human relation throughout itself, a commercial can link with the masses as though it's speaking to the individual viewer on an equal level. A commercial In his essay, Scholes analyzes a Budweiser commercial in an effort to prove his statements about the aforementioned tools.…

    Most of the super bowl commercials skate a thin line between been appropriate and inappropriate and this one can be classified under the inappropriate ones. It can also be classified as a controversial commercial. These companies spend millions of dollars in the production and marketing of their commercials to networks during the super bowl weekend. Snickers use designs to display that you are not you when you are hungry. That you personify a different personality and that snickers are sufficient. In this case snickers is suggesting that to restore a cranky…

    Coke vs Pepsi

    Coke and Pepsi have always been rival beverages for decades. I can remember my teens when most households would divide into two when it came to choosing their choice of drink, especially when going for grocery shopping. Even the advert aired by both brands shows a lot of rivalries between them. When one makes a new product, the other would do everything possible to make something similar or better than the former. Making people, both old and young believe their product is the best. When comparing the two beverages, there’s a major thing we normally notice from their commercials, while Coca-Cola Company uses families and animal in most of their commercial ads relating to peoples society, Pepsi Company uses different super stars and celebrities to sell their product worldwide. However, as coke uses their ethos in targeting both the old and young generation, Pepsi target mostly today’s youth in their adverts.…

    There is definitely a discourse about race and advertising. That is because stereotypes are made by the media based on an advertiser’s agenda. Often time’s race is treated as a label that defines the action or characteristics of an individual. Three selected commercials that give a discussion on the subject are, “Ashton Kutcher Dating Video”, “Sealy’s Mattress”, and “Hillshire Farm commercial”. The objective about an advertisements propaganda and representation of racial identity is taken into consideration in these three commercials. All three videos give the white male more diverse identities. White male identity in the three commercials is beyond the masculine spectrum, and not limited like the minority actors set stereotypes.…

    Saturday Night Live thought it would be humorous to the public to point out the stereotypical and racist parts of the commercial. The SNL actor Beck Bennet plays the part of a director of the ad and he is blamed on the skit for being stereotypical and offensive. For example, in the commercial and the SNL skit you see two African American young men dancing hip hop and an Asian man playing the cello whilst a man talking on the phone with Bennet points out how they are common stereotypes and many would find the racist and offensive. The Saturday Night Live episode ties together with real life because although the Pepsi ad was not intended to offend anyone, many were offended and hurt by both the message and the content in the commercial.…

    Marketing Super Bowl

    • 515 Words

    The hype of the Super Bowl was not better than the actual game. The game had a few surprises added to it such as the blackout, Beyoncé’s great performance, and the shocking comeback from the San Francisco 49ers towards the end of the game, making the game much more enjoyable. Also, I would have to say the game was better than the ads as well. The 49ers made a great game at the end, although there were some good emotional and humorous ads. The cost of these ads in this year’s Super Bowl is $3.8 million for a 30-second spot. As for last year’s, it cost $3.5 million. When producing the ads for the Super Bowl, there were advertisements before the game began and I believe that was to tell the viewers to go and out and buy their products so they can have them while watching the game. There were also ads during the game and that was to remind the viewers what they have in their pantry when they went out to buy it prior to the game. Lastly, there were ads after the game and that was to make the viewer to buy the products when they had time to get it. The Super Bowl’s ads were more emotional this year displaying the economic problems that Americans have been facing lately. The ad “God Made the Farmer” made people stop and realize the condition the economy is in and the violent actions that have been happening. Moreover, my favorite ad would have to be Taco Bell’s. It was humorous and amusing showing the older generation going out and having fun like teenagers. It was relatable to the younger generation because it was things that teenagers do all the time. It made every generation laugh, old and young, which made it a successful commercial. My least favorite advertisement would be Go Daddy’s. It showed a beautiful blonde kissing a nerdy guy, which grossed many viewers out including me. It used sexual elements but not successfully appealing to the viewers. Also, the company buys domain names making the ad irrelevant to their purpose. For me,…

    The screen fades up to an image of a soldier being greeted by his wife in an airport. “On Jan 8th, Lt. Chuck Nadd came home” is printed across the screen. Soon after, it cuts to a clip of the couple driving home in a red Ford Explorer with the caption “we gave him a homecoming he’d never forget” in white. It is unclear at this point, however, who “we” is referring to. The camera cuts to signs that reads “We love Chuck”, “We’re glad you’re home”, and “We’re proud of you” with a soft song featuring a woman’s voice plays in the background. The soldier is visibly overcome with joy. Following his warm welcome home, a parade takes place for the soldier. Him and his wife ride in a horse drawn carriage while hundreds of members of the community wave and cheer. The camera focuses on one woman in particular, jumping up and down and waving with one hand, while holding an American flag in the other. The soldier runs up to and embraces her, and the viewer can infer that she is his mother. “Every soldier deserves a hero’s’ welcome” then appears on the screen, and dissolves to Budweiser’s slogan with “#Salute a Hero” displayed underneath it.…
