    'Company Town: Seduced By A Juicy Burger'

    For the last several years, fast food resteruant Carl’s Jr. has been implementing an advertising campaign that any regular TV watcher would find themselves being familiar with. The commercial is simple: an attractive young woman, preferably a model, wears something seductive and eats a Carl Jr.’s product while moaning. In Dan Neil’s article “Company Town: Seduced by a Juicy Burger” published in the LA Times in 2009, he jokingly criticizes not only Carl’s Jr., but other fast food giants that have employed a similar advertising strategy. Neil finds himself conflicted by the commercial featuring model and cooking show host Padma Lakshmi. These over zealous commercials have become nothing but the norm, nevertheless, Neil wonders if it has gone…

    Kal Kan's Pathos Appeal To Consumers

    In hard times, advertisers look to comfort their consumers, and entice them to depend on their brand. One writer proposes “More often than not, the technique they chose to create such comfort was through nostalgic advertising (Boyle, as cited in Merchant, A., Latour, K., Ford, J.B., & Latour, M.S., 2013). The Kal Kan ad appeals to pet owners by convincing them there is a great need to care for their aging pets, of which they have spent…

    Advertising at the Edge of the Apocalypse Summary

    A question always asked is, “Does happiness come from material objects?” A majority of people say “no”; yet when a research firm examined further what would qualify as a “good quality of life”, researchers found economic security and success outranked the social values of love and family. A true irony of the survey is that a material object, by definition, cannot provide social relationships, which is the target of advertisers. All humans feel the need for love and friendship, and this is played by advertising to create false social conformity.…

    Jean Kilbourne's Jesus Is A Brand Of Jeans

    Some would say the power of ads has an immeasurable effect on the world. In Jean Kilbourne’s article “Jesus is a Brand of Jeans,” she insinuates that society has made a negative shift due to ads. She says our culture values products as the ultimate source of happiness, which devalues what would previously be considered as important. Essentially, she says that people no longer value relationships and non-monetary things. For example, one of the ads depicts a man making love to a woman while covering her face with a picture of a car, which show how people are emotionally attached to items. Kilbourne goes so far as to say, “Ads have long promised us a better relationship…buy this and it will love…

    Implementation, Controls, and Plans STR/581

    Adopting a combination of product differentiation, low-cost leadership, and product development strategies will help Nestlé maximize strengths and neutralize threats as these strategies support Nestles mission and align with their objectives. Nestlé will continue to develop healthy nutritious food and beverage alternatives for their consumers. Populations are rising and aging quickly. In 2009 39.6 million people in the United States were over the age of 65, predictions estimate there will be 72.1 million Americans in 2030 (AOA, 2010). Obesity statistics are even more alarming. In America 58 million are considered overweight, 40 million are obese, and three million are morbidly obese (Obesity, 2007). As these statistics rise, so do the number of consumers looking for healthier alternatives. Nestlé has already manufactured a line of products tailored to the aging and weight conscious and will continue to create and improve upon these products. Nestlé creates leading edge products, improving upon them when necessary, and uses their dominant market share to maintain low costs.…

    Killing Us Softly

    Sociology of Consumption: “Killing Us Softly” Course Code: AHSS 1050 “Killing Us Softly”, is a documentary that explains the effects of advertising. As mentioned in the video, on a daily basis we are exposed to nearly 1 500 ads a day, and it is evident not all the ads are watched, however they do manage to make it to the back of our heads. So even if we do not pay close attention to what the ad is saying, if the product that was being advertised comes in front of us we still manage to remember that we had seen the product advertisement earlier. The documentary takes a further look at the main reason why ads are made, and the conclusion made is that when products don’t sell, ads are made in the sense, telling their customers they need the product or else they are incomplete. I believe this is a general fact, everyone know that the main needs of any person are, some type of clothes to cover their body, food to eat, water to drink and some sort of shelter. However, when these ads are presented they create an urge in the sense the person believes that have to have the product being advertised. The example given in the documentary was of ageing creams. They are advertised in a way that older aged women feel they have to have the cream or else there is something wrong with them. Another example, is straightening irons, the traditional way of straightening hair is using a hair dryer, or any ordinary straightening iron sold at the store. However, there certain brands advertised in which people believe they are better which is not true. Even though all brands are the same, just because of the ad people believe one is better than the other and that is the only one they want. So when markets say ads sell more than product, concepts, thoughts and values, this is what they refer to. Overall, ads are made in the sense to tell their customers that the product being advertised is a need to them or else they are missing out on something and they are not normal. Many people do…

    Article Critique: Jesus Is a Brand of Jeans

    In this article it emphasizes how human beings are valuing the bond and intimacy of a products over a real relationship. According to Kilbourne she explains in one of her paragraphs, “Advertising encourages us not only to objectify each other but to feel passion for products rather than our partners” (259 Kilbourne). She uses this as fear of being rejected to share with the readers, those feelings for each of others is challenging because of advertisements. Advertisements get things in our mind to think other wise. Since some of the ads Kilborne has come across she has seen that they add that products are more important than people.…

    Susan Bordo Women

    Pop-tarts Pastry Swirls by Kellogg's. What is it? Strawberry, new look? Since when did people start to care how their food looks? It' is going to end up in the toilet, I am sorry for being that open. I think this advertisement I s a counterexample of the usual ads that Bordo describes in her essay. Look at the woman! She's definitely not a model. Honestly, when I took a look at this ad, I got scared. My goodness: horribly wrinkly old lady with blue hair! Well of course there are a lot of older people out in our world, but I guess we are not so used to see them as advertisers. Let's get back to the describing. This is a progress. A couple years ago our magazines or TV's didn't even have people of older age advertising anything. There always were gorgeous models, long lags, pretty faces, muscled bodies, etc. Now we can see anything. I think we all know that women are very carrying people. They care a lot about their children, husbands, friends, and themselves at the last moment. Susan Bordo describes women as those, "who are almost never shown being fed by others." (162). But in this ad, I can tell that lady thinks about herself a lot, she's even getting her hair-cut without a hurry to go home and feed the "others." She's enjoys listening to her hair-stylist talking about the ways she would look better, smiling and most likely thinking about pop-tarts, for which she even can get money-back. Older classic lady has bright blue hair,…

    “Labels, Clothing, and Identity: Are You What You Wear”

    If we thought about it, maybe we’d also realize that our relationship to brands and marketing campaigns has been undergoing a transformation. Marketers like to talk about the skepticism of the “new consumer,” a smart young character fleeing the mainstream and adamantly resistant to all forms of advertising. The consumers he observed seem very much involved with brands and products. If traditional advertising has become a less effective way of fostering that involvement, the commercial persuasion industry has in turn been fiendishly resourceful in coming up with alternative methods, infiltrating hitherto unexploited aspects of our lives.…

    Jean Kilbourne\

    Although Kilbourne's essay was written in 1999, nothing really has changed. Sexualizing ads has become very common nowadays. It may occur as a way to get people closer to each other, to awaken love and passion, to bring a romance into our lives – that precious love adventure, that is sometimes missing. Unfortunately, it turns out to be the opposite way. Closeness turns into distance; passion grows into power and violence (56). Taking a closer look at some of the ads makes it easy to see that they point out power of one over another in all spheres of life. It is obvious that advertisers play to our worst fears and secret wishes to get us to buy their products. They try to make us believe that happiness comes…

    Buy This 24 Year Old Get His Friends Free

    As I read through the most recent issue of Shape, I am enticed by ads for magic diet pills, whitening toothpaste, and even miracle cream for my face that promises even though, “it might cost it little bit more,” I’ll know it’s worth it. In “Can’t Buy Me Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think and Feel,” written in 1999 by Jean Kilbourne, Ed.D, she explains how deeply advertisers coax themselves into our daily lives, especially women. Kilbourne claims that advertising has become a part of our environment and considering that the average person views over 3,000 advertisements each day, the evidence supporting that is overwhelming.…

    Rhetorical Essay: Old Spice

    This commercial relays its’ message through the incorporation of humor, rather then stating in a matter of fact method. It cleverly points out several benefits of using the product by the characterization of the good-looking male and ideal settings in the background. The main goal of the commercial comes to be that using Old Spice allows men to obtain what is presented as the unattainable such as “tickets to that thing you love” and diamonds for women. The commercial targets men in the age group between twenty and thirty. It does not specifically target a rich clientele, but makes Old Spice seen as a product that is available for all males. Through the use of the male, the commercial expects the viewers to trust the man’s judgment through…
