Demonstrate how effective it is with overlayed graphics and terms that don’t mean anything to us. Instead, they chose to create a personality that the audience would like and want to associate with. They don’t focus on the product so much as they do the personality and the attitude behind it, and in doing so they created a persona for the audience to not only relate to, but remember. Old Spice’s attitude of wanting to make something that doesn’t really make sense but is funny and will connect with the audience differentiated itself from the competition by having an underlying feel of honesty.

This is important for Old Spice because YouTube played a large role in the ad campaign. The initial ad was uploaded to YouTube, which made it easy to share and distribute. Articles that referenced the ad could include a link, I can embed the advertisement right here and ask you to watch as well. Not only that, but subsequent ads were compiled into a YouTube playlist, making it simple to click-through and watch all of the “Smell like a Man, Man” advertisements. The sharing aspect of this ad was so easy and so quick that it went

In terms of a slogan, for the campaign they heavily utilized “Smell like a Man, Man,” “the man your man could smell like,” and the whistle/jingle that has represented Old Spice for years previous. It was made simple to fit the format of the campaign and has stuck with audiences because of its simplicity. The campaign also utilized personification in giving their corporation the face of Isaiah Mustafa. They created almost a mascot out of him, letting him represent the company in the ads and out of them. Finally, they tried to associate the product with wealth, luxury, classiness, and manliness, even if it is in a way of humor and

    When it comes to the question of what I think they are trying to create, I believe they are trying to portray this superior man of men image. I am able to link this ad with others that I have seen for old spice in the same manner. Such as a commercial I remember about “the man that your man could smell like” the slogan of the ad is that “We're not saying this body wash will make your man into a romantic millionaire jet fighter pilot, but we are insinuating it.” This reinforces my point that the company Old Spice is trying to create a superior image that their body wash represents.…

    The speaker is an attractive male who does not wear a shirt for the entire commercial, conveniently displaying his athletic physique. The commercial is subconsciously projecting the emotion of sexual appeal, and persuading women to buy Old Spice deodorant because then their man will be just as attractive. The commercial also has several random comments such as tickets turning into diamonds, and the speaker suddenly appearing on a horse to appeal to the emotion of humor in the commercial. By inserting humor, the commercial is more memorable and people associate this good emotion with Old Spice…

    One of the rhetorical appeals used quite frequently is Pathos. Pathos is the way the author or in this case Old Spice tries to play with our emotions. The most obvious emotion in this commercial is humor. For example, the way the crazy-stalker mom is following her son around everywhere by riding in a laundry basket attached to her son’s car, highly unlikely but very entertaining and quite funny. People love anything that makes them laugh and Old Spice definitely played that up when those depressed mothers were wailing about their sons leaving them behind and growing up by going out with girls and leaving their chores behind. Another thing that is used as pathos is how relatable it can be for those overbearing mothers and their sons. Some men must see this commercial and think back to when they were teenagers who just wanted to get away and grow up, and even those boys that are currently going through this with their own mothers. Even I am sucked in to all the hype that is Old Spice, and I could just imagine what my seven year old brother with have to go through with my mom. Yikes!…

    On Youtube, when looking at videos you have to watch ads before you can enjoy the video you want to watch. I saw the commercial for Old Spice deodorant when browsing Youtube’s videos and thought it was a very effective advertisement, it is very fast paced and always changing so it makes the viewer concentrate and pay more attention to the commercial. The advertisement is based around the spokesperson, who is a man telling the audience that all women would prefer him over their man. He says the next best thing to having him as your man is having your man smell like him. The commercial spends thirty three seconds trying to convince the viewer that if you buy its companies body wash or deodorant and use it to smell like the man on the screen you will be able to do the ridiculous things he is capable of doing. The advertisements purpose is either to make a man want to buy the scented product so he can please his ladies nasal senses and amaze her, or to make a woman want her man to start wearing the product for her pleasure.…

    The commercial grabs the reader’s attention and maintains it on the Old Spice man. It starts out with a former NFL player and an actor Isaiah Mustafa in an ordinary bathroom wearing nothing but a towel. He represents the “perfect male” for both women and as well as men. He is considered manly with the muscular physique, broad shoulders, bearded face and a stern voice. His strong posture and his deep male voice displays the masculine form, the women desire. Without losing eye contact with the audience, Mustafa shifts from a bathroom scene to a yacht, to a beach and lastly to a horseback-riding which portrays that “anything is possible…” with an Old Spice. Throughout his transformations he accomplishes impractical feats like obtaining tickets…

    The advertisers of Newport cigarettes conveyed the product very well by means of layout, choice of color, body language, and wording. In the layout, the advertisers make sure to put pleasure, the main slogan of their advertisement, at the top of their advertisement in bold and legible font with an exclamation point and an underlining of white that curves the audience's attention toward the large an centered picture of a man and a woman. The advertisement has the packs of Newport cigarettes in the bottom left corner with more detailed information underneath the product and also in the bottom right corner of the advertisement. The choice of colors that are used in the advertisement makes every word, the main picture, and the product stand out amongst many advertisements in the magazine. The advertiser used an emerald green background with a yellow fade in between the man and the woman to brighten them up. They also use orange as the color for…

    2. The Old Spice Man debuted in a 2010 Super Bowl ad, bringing humour, sex appeal, and intrigue to a brand that was all but forgotten. Five months later, he made marketing history by appearing in a series of 180 near real-time videos that not only got the attention of celebrities like Demi Moore and Ellen DeGeneres, but also helped Procter & Gamble amass over 40 million views on YouTube and enjoy a 107% increase in body wash sales within 30 days of the campaign launch.…

    The text is print-based but contains visual and written codes. Its exact meaning may be difficult to ‘fix’ except to say that it is an advertisement and trying to ‘sell’ a product, a particular brand of cologne. In this adut additional meaning is given through the use of color codes and the written text at the bottom of the advert. Some advert do not even seem to be trying to sell a specific product but are, presumable, just trying to make us aware of a particular company or name, for example, the united color of Benetton Campaign.…

    I decided to choose the "naturally juicy" Orangina advertising, which is a part of a campaign where the direction is, animals acting and looking like human beings. It embodies the new generation of advertisements; the fact that it is perceived as shocking and explicit by the older generations is a proof. It is nevertheless this change of strategy that allowed boosting the brand. So, by the analysis of this advertising, we are going to see the different aspects, which allowed to mark the mind and to keep the brand in the head of consumer during the behaviour of the purchase.…

That is why companies need to come up with creative advertisement, which can describe their fragrance from the best angle.
