If a commercial is really interesting to a woman, then it is more likely for her to purchase the product or to persuade men she knows to buy it. In a current ad of Old Spice, there is a chain of commercials that use attractive men that are athletic and good looking to portray their product. For instance, ex-NFL wide receiver Isaiah Mustafa. In his commercial, you see him stepping out of the shower wrapped in a towel. The first thing he says is “Hello, ladies.” This is said with a deep, manly voice and is directed to the women audience.
These characteristics help them sell their brand and now that they have broadened their horizons, they are not only selling male products but by having a female audience has also caused a change in the target audience. Axe merchandise marketers used these characteristics to attract people of the specific age group the advertisement mentions and type of people it publicizes in its ads. For instance one of the ads which I’ve included shows a regular guy at a gas station and an extremely pretty girl and it looks like sparks may fly.

According to Bloomberg Business Week, Coca-Cola remains the best globally recognized brand across all industries for years, while Pepsi’s brand ranked number 25 in the year 2008. Thus, Coca-Cola is able to charge premiums for its syrup concentrates due to its larger market shares and better brand name recognition. In order to compete against Coca-Cola and increase revenue, Pepsi has diversified its businesses as I stated above into other markets such as snacks, chips, and breakfast foods, with its core business focusing on soft drinks. Undoubtedly, the company’s strongest and most identifiable brand is indeed Pepsi but it has a certain advantage over Coca-Cola since it is more diversified. On April 9, 2009, Coca-Cola Company reported cash and cash equivalent to be $6,816,000,000 and on December 26, 2009, Pepsi reported cash and cash equivalent to be $3,943,000,000.

This man illustrates the two in one connection between a consumer who has had a Snickers and a consumer who hasn’t had a Snickers. The illustration allows the reader to assume that a single person has two different egos: happy and upset. I came to recognize a constant theme; Snickers want consumers to know that you become a different person within yourself without the great taste of a Snickers. Looking at the picture a little more closely, I came to realize another theme. The entire page was a rich colored brown that instantly signaled my mouth to salivate.
They are saying that the golden ale and the cartoon like font is to much alike the beer severed at Moe’s Tavern, but the two brothers are saying that the two Fs were linked together to make the H in Duh. The Fox attorney is still saying that that
Since older smokers tended to either quit or die, Reynolds needed to create an advertising campaign marketed for the next generation of smokers. Young smokers at the age of 21 and up are the most prized, they will stick with smoking longer and exhibit the most brand loyalty. The campaign ads display Joe Camel, a camel caricature with an exaggerated large nose and mouth (some say resembling a phallus) in a heroic pose usually wearing the stereotypical male gear. For instance, in the ads he wears hard hats, T-shirts, tuxedos, always with his hip sunglasses and cigarette in his mouth to appeal to the predominated male market. During these years the underage smoker increased significantly and the supposed Joe Camel is whom everyone was pointing their fingers at.
