Simple things in ads can easily lure people into buying their product. The first Advertisement I will analyze is a Dos Equis beer ad out of Maxim magazine. I believe that this ad applies to a young to middle aged men. The man in the ad looks to be about mid fifties and he’s “the most interesting man in the world”.
Introduction: This case summary considers the Richard Ivey School of Business case ‘Creemore Springs Brewery: Branding Without Advertising’ prepared by Mark . Creemore Springs Vice President of Marketing, Howard Thompson, stated issue is whether to expand capacity of the Creemore Springs brewery from 27,000 hectoliters to 50,000 hl. Core Issue: Creemore Springs has been profitable from the first year of operation but is experiencing a production bottleneck - the brew house requires an expansion to accommodate a 50 hl kettle.
