Essay about Vintage Coco-Cola Ad

Rhetorical analysis of 7-Up ad 1957 “Youngest Customers in the Business” reads an ad from the Ladies’ Home Journal magazine, published in 1955. Even though the headline might be a bit odd, a person might consider the context and understand why the ad was believable. The 1950s were known to use little kids in print ads. In the ad, 7-Up appeals to reader’s emotions, especially mothers would pause to see what the baby was drinking and if it could benefit them. The advertisement utilizes the three rhetorical appeals of pathos, logos, and ethos through its image and implied meanings, through this, the image is able to convey a vivid sense of nutritional value from drinking a 7-Up.

When it comes to the topic of commercials, most of us readily agree that commercials are irritating. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the purpose of the commercial. Whereas some are convinced that commercials are meaningless, others maintain that commercials tell a story. Effective commercials are repetitive and illustrate a story. Marketers use rhetoric marketing, the art of persuasive speaking and writing, when persuading an audience to buy a product. Rhetoric marketing is especially effective through the illustration of a story. It is effective because the marketer is able to relate to the consumer with a story or message. Advertisers also use the appeals of logic, credibility, and emotions to intrigue interest in a company. Coca-Cola’s advertisement, “Falling,” depicts the product as a confidence building companion suitable for young love through a series of logical and emotional appeals that visibly promotes the brand’s credibility.

Message strategy – “Good really wins in the end.” This is in some respects a rather odd “big idea.” Contrast this with the early Coca-Cola campaigns that focused on the benefit of refreshment, something that is very relevant to the functional utility of the product. However, nowadays, that is not enough. For many years, there have been numerous alternatives that satisfy the need for quenching thirst. This big idea falls in line with that of more recent campaigns. That is, it drives home an emotional benefit rather than a functional one.

Pathos appeals to the audience’s emotions [1]. This commercial, as any other one, is full of pathos trying to sell “masculinity”. The language used in the advertisement attempts to trigger emotions in younger males telling them that they will feel manly if they drink this soda. Capital letters of the tagline and the word “women”, which is highlighted, intensify the enthusiasm in an attempt to attack its audience emotionally. The can containing Dr. Pepper logotype also visually appeals to men. The design, colours and font are plain and simple.

For instance, Coca-Cola first entered the market as a medicine and eventually into soft drinks their ad slogans would center on the theme of healing: “Coca-Cola revives and sustains”; and, “Satisfies the thirsty and helps the weary”.

Picture a long, stressful day where an avalanche of work completely exhausted your energy. The only thing worth looking forward to is coming home to relax while tuning into your favorite television show. In between the show, a commercial comes on to propose an energy drink built to help overcome those prolonged and demanding days at work. Advertisers are known for creating the most influential and effective way to launch their products to the general public. In the article “Men’s Men and Women’s Women”, author Steve Craig suggests that advertisements rely on stereotypes in order to manipulate consumers. Likewise James Twitchell, author of “What We are to Advertisers” strengthens Craig's reasoning by discussing the methods of persuasion that capture their respective audience’s attention to create a good commercial and sell a product. Both authors focus on the different techniques used by the advertising industry. Through their supporting demographic and psychographic evidence, they utilize advertising to show a strong correlation between each other. By using subtitles both authors explain the distinctive stereotypic profiles that are formed just from advertisers constantly examining the target audiences in order to create a connection with the product and the consumer. Twitchell reinforces Craig's position by introducing the different types of profiles advertisers target and be recognizing the effects of the method pathos and logos has

In this rhetorical analysis, the value of uniqueness and the use of flavors are expressed in an ad by Dr. Pepper, a well-known and popular company. These values are found within the appeals of logos, pathos, and ethos.It also states the history of how this soft drink was created, the creator, and the year it was created. Logos is expressed when the brand states that it contains 23 flavors and also includes an image of a bottle with the number 23 as well with other phrases.

Lastly, ethos is used by us knowing the history behind the 23

Coca-Cola has been around for 125 years with the same logo, taste, and design. Making it one of the most recognizable brands in the world.

By using all three rhetorical concepts, logos (appealing to reasoning), pathos (appealing to emotion), and ethos (appealing to credibility), Coke creates a motto that persuades its audience to “Have a Coke and a Smile”.

television advertisement companies, main intention is to captivate the audience in other to purchase their product that they are portraying.

The commercial also incorporated a presentation of the country's varying sprawling landscapes and metropolitan areas, along with Americans of different ethnicities, races, and families partaking in real life activities. With these elements: a patriotic song, playing on emotion, and an invocation of profound imagery, we see several of the tactics mentioned in both articles tackled in Coke's commercial. So why did Coca Cola receive such monumental uproar, if it made use of some of the fifteen basic appeals that make ads effective?

When analysing all of the advertising around us, sometimes we don’t look at what the true message of a commercial really is.

Companies like Audi pour millions of dollars into their marketing teams to make sure their cars look the best and attract consumers. Commercials that are shown on television today are great examples of rhetorical artifacts because of the many techniques being exercised by the rhetor. Analyzing this through the lens of rhetorical

The dominance of recognizable red and white signify America patriotism. Red compels audience’s attention, the company’s power, and power in general. For example, the 1985 soft drink revolution appalled Coca-Cola’s risk to go above and beyond to gain customer satisfaction. Mr. Goizueta mentions, “that it sent an incredibly powerful signal ... a signal that we really were ready to do whatever was necessary to build value for the owners of our business” (“The Real Story of New Coke”). The white color used as a primary background is neutral to allow the other
