Throughout the course of this essay a rhetorical analysis will be performed over the subject of the popular soft drink, Coca Cola. Here we will take a look at two documents, both advertisement images, both from Coca Cola, separated by over 40 years. This sweet drink took the world by storm starting in the 1890’s and has been a household name since. With hundreds of thousands of soft drinks all over the world, Coca Cola is just another in a bucket, except with a different set of tactics toward drawing in their consumers. In 1971 The Coca Cola would come out with a slogan and ad that would spread across the world like a wild fire. In this image we observe a collection of 7 images, 1 in the center and 6 surrounding it creating a border. There’s something peculiar about these pictures when looking at them though, each contains at least 2 people. Displayed are friends, family and couples, out and about living their lives, all are young, and at the very heart of the image, two bottles of Coca Cola, dripping with condensation, reading its classic slogan “It’s the real thing”. There are a couple of groups that this type of ad seems to really connect with and sink in. The first being the young, the reckless and those longing for love. Then there are those who want to feel that way, again. An older person in their 70’s and has recently retired, sees this ad, days of their youth would flood back in. This image captures the present and the past for both parties. Something else about this ad is interesting, as mentioned earlier, each of these young people are with one or more other person. Companionship or comradery is something all people search for, no matter the person, no matter how deep the introvert, people seek people and people seek to be accepted. The pull is there in this ad, “If you’re cool you’ll drink Coca cola” So really this ad is speaking and aimed toward a wide range of people from the young to old, and from those looking for friends or someone to be more than a friend. The media and design in the ad helps The Coca Cola Company take on the deeper parts of a person to get to its purpose. They do this by creating an image with the aforementioned pictures collaged together to focus the attention of the
Coca-Cola’s confidence in its domination over the soft drink industry eroded, and its advertising slogans began to recognize industry competition: “No Wonder Coke Tastes the Best”. While Coke’s slogans have always centered on the product, Pepsi’s advertisement emphasized the users of the product. Rather than targeting every market, Pepsi focused on the demographic environment. Pepsi foresaw the mass appeal of the youth generation for soft drinks and in 1961 divulged the successful slogan “Now, It’s Pepsi, for Those Who Think Young”. The campaign was such a success that Pepsi’s sales growth outperformed that of Coca-Cola.
As a result, Seaver retaliates Herbert’s remarks by demonstrating how Grove Press’s use of the “It’s the Real Thing” slogan would not jeopardize any products. It would in fact be beneficial to the Coca Cola company in the sense that the consumer would recognize the slogan and feel compelled to go buy their product. His assertion shows how rather than being harmful, using the same slogans would be convenient to Coca Cola because the reader might “buy a Coke rather than a book.” (Para 3) Seaver counters Herbert’s argument by providing examples on how their slogan would not diminish or decrease the effectiveness of Coca Cola’s revenue. He then proceeds to assert “We [Grove Press] would be happy to give Coke the residual benefit of our advertising.” (Para 3)
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?
American’s most savored beverage is beer. It’s one of the top consumed drinks and can be drank for different occasions. Budweiser, one of the most top selling beer companies puts out their commercials to advertise their beers. While their commercials are used to produce sales, what most don’t see is the message they associate when drinking a Budweiser. These commercials often use rhetoric to persuade us. Rhetorical devices are used to be the most effective way to persuade and audience into thinking. Pathos, ethos, and logos are used to make a powerful statement to be successful in their beer sales.
Commercial advertisements create a strong presence in the media due to the power of persuading the audience to buy a certain project. The commercial is promoting the use of diet coke and using Taylor Swift to do so. Diet Coke is a sugar free, soft drink that is very popular, it is promoted and distributed worldwide by Coca- Cola. Coca- Cola spends nearly $3.499 billion in advertisements yearly (Investopedia, 2015, 1). This ad catches the eye of the audience with the use of Taylor Swift and the adorable kittens. In this commercial, it is clear that with every sip the pop-culture singer takes of the Diet Coke, more kittens seem to appear in the apartment until the whole apartment becomes invaded with the tiny kittens. This advertisement efficiently delivers the point to the audience during the commercial video by encouraging them to drink their product Diet Coke while trying to increase the consumption of their product, attract more viewers, and sell more of their product.
Coca Cola Advert Introduction A print advertisement is a current trend used by enterprises to market their goods. The modern press media of Coca Cola advert is the picture of a sweating boy in his earlier twenties holding a bottle of coca cola (Bugge, pp. 12). The objective of this art is to try and justify that with the change in the climatic condition causing the rise in temperature, the product can be used to quench thirst, cool off the body from excessive heat, and provide energy to the consumer. This advert has enabled the Coca-Cola Company increase their sales in the last one year (Bugge, pp. 13).
Just by the first glance of this 2013 ad, our brains automatically connect drinking Coca-Cola with being accompanied by a friend. For example, the two coke bottles, the two hands, the two names, (one male and one female) lead us to believe that by drinking a coke, for some reason we'll fill this need to affiliate The 1963 ad also does this ,but with this female diversion. Also the wall in this picture is a weird shade of grey-green which is a strange use of color. None the less we have to read the smaller print to see what the author is trying to say.
This ad is aimed at a particular group of people. One group of people whom this ad is focussed towards are those who are between the ages of 18 and 80. I chose this group because once you are at the age of 18, are mature enough to find just simply sitting by the beach in the sun for the day enjoyable. Most people who are younger than 18 would rather go to places such as theme parks, where they can run off all of their excess energy. Another group of people who this ad may appeal to are those who enjoy luxury, and refined things. This ad may appeal to this audience because – as a scientific study has shown – purchasing (or in this case participating) in luxury things is meant to increase self-esteem
They used a bright yellow/golden background to make the couple and the cigarette smoke stand out. They used that color to help viewers see what type of relationship they could have if only they went out to buy a pack of Tipalet Cigarettes. The couple stands out because they’re wearing white and black, or your everyday type outfits to help them stand out and because the ad is zoomed in on their upper body & faces. The color of the background can also seem inviting and warm because it reminds you of a sunset and helps people create a “perfect fantasy”. The way she's looking at him makes you want to picture that perfect guy on a perfect date with the sun setting in the background. People seem to be pulled into the ad by the warm colors that make you feel more comfortable. The ad is warm, beautiful and full of happiness, so the people who look at the ad will feel like they will have a chance to a warm and beautiful life that will resemble the advertisement.
What is advertisement? Generally, advertisement is the activity or profession of producing information for promoting the sale of commercial products or services or ideas. Advertisement can be represented in an audio, visual or video form of marketing communication that employs an openly sponsored, non-personal message to promote. Traditionally, advertisement is communicated through different way, including old media such as newspapers, magazines, television, radio and outdoor advertisement etc. In recent years, as the fast development in technology or we so-called “The new generation of necessarily with smart phone”, it is firmly believed that most of people can’t live without smart phone and tablet computer. People get the latest information from their smart phone or tablet instantly. As a result, apart from the old media, new media such as mobile advertisement YouTube (video form) is the widespread and popular way for advertisement. In this essay, I am going to analyze the advertisement of Coca-Cola in visual art perspective.

It has been stated that Coca-Cola, has demonstrated to the public a transformation in the address of private enterprise, teaching their consumers that the bubbly Coca – Cola should be drunk chill and this will let the consumer feel youth and happiness, during some wider circumstances that one established by the corporation plans. In 2009 article, Boltanki and Chiapello discussed how Coca-Cola correspondence active is related to the notion of common good and to understand how the branding strategy is the shift to relate to the new spirit of private enterprise.
Coca-Cola is one of the biggest companies worldwide, operating in the soft drinks industry. It was founded in 1886 by a pharmacist from Atlanta, called John S. Pemberton. Two years later, John sold portions of the business to various parties, and the biggest portion of shares went to the famous businessmen from Atlanta, Asa G. Candler. Under Candler’s leadership, Coca-Cola expanded its distribution on a huge scale beyond Atlanta. For the first time in 1894, Joseph Biedenharn introduced the bottling machinery and was the first to make this beverage portable. Since then, the bottling of Coca-Cola has changed numerous times and was also has been imitated by different competitors. In 1977, the bottling of Coca-Cola was finally trademarked and since then, it has been an inspiration for the artists across the globe. Evolution of the Coca-Cola bottle has brought so many different memorable slogans and ideas and many campaigns were launched with a series of ads including such slogans. The basic proposition of Coca-Cola is to bring refreshment, joy, value and fun to the stakeholders in order to nurture and protect the brand and the variety of products it offers. One of the most famous advertising slogans in Coca Cola history “The Pause That Refreshes” first appeared in 1929. The theme of pausing with Coca Cola refreshment is still echoed in today’s marketing. (Coca-Cola history)
The best part of the Coca-Cola branding wasn´t the invention of the product, or even the manufacturing and distributing it, but in telling a clean, particular, periodically magnified proclamation about the product. Coca-Cola persistently advertised the quality of their product as part of their brand
They have succeeded in focusing on the brand image, customer retention and adding social and ethical benefits to every bottle they sell (Coca-Cola.com, 2014). “In advertising, everything depends on strategy applied on the market, which is adjusted to the positioning” (Moraru, 2010).
