As societies advance deeper into technology, so do the corporation and businesses that we as consumers support. The means of advertisement has changed significantly over the decades. For example before the television sets or radios were invented, general advertisement was commuted by word of mouth from shopkeepers, and posters, to the general populous. After the radio was invented, businesses could pay a fee to be promoted by local broadcasters over a larger radius than, word to mouth advertising would. Through the centuries many methods of advertising have spawned, however the most effective form of advertisement are televised commercials.

Rhetoric ads are being used everywhere to draw attention to audiences. Gatorade is one brand that I caught using this. It is no wonder that it is a popular sporting drink. In the Sweat It to Get It” commercial, a man enters into a store to purchase a couple Gatorades and then heads to the checkout line. The cashier refuses to let the customer purchase the items because he did not meet the full requirements. If the customer was not sweating, he was not worthy for this product. Suddenly, a football athlete then appears in the ad. Cam Newton, a football quarterback, walks into the store covered in sweat. Newton stands besides the sophisticated customer who is well groomed. The athlete bangs the Gatorade bottle out of the man’s hand. This part of the scene was trying to clarify the argument between the stores clerk. This pointed out to the audiences why selling the Gatorade to that customer would have been a mistake. Gatorade expands their ad to the next level with a humor to get the audiences attention to buy their merchandise.
The slogans in the commercials are connected to the same groups of people. The advertisers use the slogans to show the difference in culture. The “First Mountain [sic] Dew Soda TV Commercial (Hillbilly)’’ uses the slogan “It’ll tickle your innards.” Advertisers have misspelled the word
Cultural reinforcement, the main tool involved in captivating an audience with a video text, is what Scholes believes to be the largest factor included in this Budweiser commercial. Without the cultural background of living where we do, comprehending the plot pummeled upon us in this commercial would be impossible. Without knowledge of baseball and its rules, we wouldn't know that the umpire had made a close, yet correct call, we wouldn't know that a screaming old white man running out onto the field was commonplace; we wouldn't even know why the man who swung the stick at the ball was running towards a white bag on the edge of a dirt path lined by grass. All commercials rely on some amount of previous knowledge, this commercial is no different. Late in the commercial in question, while the manager is toasting the umpire, and the Budweiser music is playing in the background, the viewer realizes subconsciously that the umpire has "made it," that he will live happily ever after, however untrue this may be. Our culture has influenced us so much that we almost require happy endings, within a 28 second commercial we can see the entire life of a black man unfold before our eyes, and by the time the commercial is over, we know he will have a happy life. The commercial doesn't actually sell beer, it simply sells the
Norman Melchert’s text Who’s To Say? conveys his philosophies through the fictional dialogue of six thinkers, all of who actively partake in a discussion concerning the ‘theory of truth’. Through this conversation, Melchert delves into the notion that language is the very thing that divides the world and prevents one from achieving a neutral observation. He correctly asserts through the character of Peter that the way in which an event is observed is affected by how it is experienced, as well as the differences in observations amongst humankind. He concludes that our perspectives and testimonies are adulterated by our experiences.
The commercial acts out how your brain acts when it’s on donuts and cheeseburger. It makes audience realize the temptations of junk food in first person which makes the audience feel relateable.

In the commercial as simple as it may sound the producer is selling a bad of Doritos. They are trying to persuade the audience that Doritos are the best choice of chips that you can choose. As the producer they are trying to find a way to get to the audience the best way possible. They are trying to make people see something more than just a red bag of chips. They want to have the audience convinced before they even buy them.
The last seconds of the commercial is a shot of the NBA logo and the Mountain Dew logo. The Mountain Dew represented how NBA drink Mountain Dew. Throughout the video, especially during the press conference, it showed a Mountain Dew sponsorship. I think the whole point of Mountain Dew was to show how much it supports the NBA. If you like the NBA than you should like Mountain Dew cause clearly NBA players like it too. Also it shows how Mountain Dew is a huge supporter of the NBA.
Pepsi’s Mountain Dew uses conventions that are overused and negatively reflect on people of color and women. They used a well-known artist, Tyler the Creator. He
Starting the debate, the advertisement used more than one technique to persuade its audience, which would increase the likeliness of consumers purchasing their product. The marketers used three athletes at the time that most men would aspire to be. Consequently, if they used that product and are endorsing it, why shouldn’t you give it a try?

From Apple products, to Tommy Hilfiger and MTV. Majority of the advertisements want to grab individual’s attention. During the early 1980’s in order for people to start recognizing these popular products, they created catch phrases such as “Just Do It” and “Got Milk”. Back then cable was not as popular as it is today, by placing famous celebrities inside their commercials and calling the company and forcing them to play their commercials on the air is what made their products sales increase. Great advertisement starts with something true.
You may have heard them on the radio, seen them in print ads, or viewed them on the television. “Just do it.” “Taste the feeling.” “We will leave the light on for you.” What comes to mind when you hear these? If you said advertisements for Nike, Coca-Cola and Motel 6 respectively, you are correct. These slogans are a prelude to bigger stories that will follow with the intention of enticing consumers to purchase or use their products or services.

While advertisements can be informative and entertaining, they creep into our unconscious and stimulate parts of our cortex compelling us towards the products at hand. For example, creating a brand or slogan, for it to become unique and widely accepted, it must make and invoke a connection with its audience. Let’s evaluate Nike`s ‘Just Do It’, known to almost every human on the planet despite their socioeconomic background, how did this slogan come to existence? In The Brand Brief Behind Nike`s Just Do It Campaign, the author describes “a deep brand purpose can be described as the intersection of three circles of influence.”
Nike: Just Do It. McDonald’s: I’m Lovin’ It. Nowadays, everything we buy has a message behind it. Advertisements are filled with motivational, emotional, and spiritual messages that provoke and inspire. In a world where advertisements are as abundant as flies and just as annoying, marketers must find a way to rekindle consumers’ interest in products. Marketers need to find a way to not just coexist with culture, but to become it.
