Advertisements are an integral part of everyday life; we see them so often that we have become immune to their presence. We see advertisements while driving on the highway, watching TV, or just simply listening to the radio. As a matter of fact, the clothes that we wear on a daily basis are advertisements of the product that we have purchased. Companies understand that in order to sell their product, they must make the product appeal to several different types of consumers.

Market segmentation is the process by which companies divide a broad consumer or business market, normally consisting of existing and potential customers, into sub-groups of consumers (known …show more content…
First, Sprite uses logos in order for the consumer to fully understand the product. In the most recent Sprite commercial that I have seen, LeBron James is advertising Sprite and talks about how it is a thirst quenching lemon lime soda, which is a fact. As stated earlier, logos is an appeal to logic or reason. An advertisement using logos will give you the evidence and statistics you need to fully understand what the product does. Sprite quenches ones thirst with a flavorful lemon lime twist. Although Sprite does not use too much logos in this particular advertising commercial, they do use ethos and pathos relatively well. Next, Sprite uses ethos in order to cater to its consumers. Ethos as stated earlier, is an appeal to credibility or character. An advertisement using ethos will try to convince you that the company is more reliable, honest, and credible; therefore, you should buy its product.

In the Icy Hot commercial, Shaquille O’Neal talks about how relieving Icy Hot patches are when they are used to accommodate pain. He states that it is much easier than going to the doctor as well as being just as effective. I can attest to these factual claims being a long time user of Icy Hot. Icy Hot then uses ethos simply by having Shaq in the commercial. Being one of the best basketball players of all time, Icy Hot uses Shaq as a quality-marketing tool in order to boost their products credibility. Lastly, pathos is used in this commercial in two different ways. First the customers displayed show pain and agony prior to using the product and then once they apply the product on they feel relieved and happy. This gives Icy Hot a good marketing tool by showing the effectiveness of the product. This product uses its strategies in order to cater to people suffering from muscle

My rhetorical analysis is Stephen Curry believes he is the best basketball player in the world. Stephen Curry is currently the reigning MVP of the NBA and he won the NBA Championship the same year. He started right where he left off last season as he is carrying the warriors to potentially have the best record at the end of the season in NBA history while again putting up MVP statistics. Curry is currently having a highlight year and is not being considered the best shooter ever.
The Kobe Bryant age of the NBA is approaching a close, thus they brought in many of their famous athletes to aid the viewer in understanding the importance of Kobe. By doing so, they strive for the rhetorical appeal of Ethos. Russell Wilson, Kyrie Irving, Lebron James, JJ Watt, the list goes on, these athletes are very well known within their sports and to the targeted demographic Nike wants. Using these athletes helps the audience realize how important Kobe is and the fact he is retiring a monumental event. A technique such as using ethos isn’t unusual for Nike, however bringing in a multitude of athletes from across sports demographics
The cotton advertisement utilizes both pathos and logos to convey their message. The ad uses pathos by presenting the consumer a picture of a group of friends smiling and laughing. The example set by the picture, sends the message that if the consumer purchases items from that company, that they too can be as happy as them. However irrational the message, the ad is able to send a subconscious message to the brain which ultimately will help determine the conscious decision of whether or not the consumer would buy the products. Additionally, the company’s logo in the bottom right corner of the ad followed by the website, shows ethos.
Popular writer and sports columnist, Bill Simmons, in his article, “LeBron is Still Painting his Masterpiece”, describes the current state of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and compares the careers of two of the greatest players in the league’s history: Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Simmons’ purpose is to show the effects of being driven by competition and how that has brought James into the discussion for the greatest basketball player of all time. He adopts a comic tone in order to amuse and entertain the reader, but also to establish a common ground with the reader in order for them to consider his inquiry that consistent, continuous competition has been the catalyst for bringing James into the discussion for the greatest of
The majority of people would agree that they have felt discouraged from achieving a goal of theirs at one point in their life.

In the presentation when we use Ethos we are using a strategy called testimonials. Testimonials are when you get a famous person to endorse your product. This causes people who admire this famous person, to buy the product because they want to be just like him/her.

In the presentation, when we use Pathos we are using a rhetorical strategy known as glittering generalities.
The 5 Gum advertisement has a clever use of Logos. In the ads icy text the words continually get less and less transparent, which makes it seem that the longer the word s crawl across the page, the more intense the cold becomes.

The gradually decreasing temperature of the words is directly related to the flavor of the gum getting better as the customer chews. Even the name of the gum, Aspect, is a nod to the flavor getting better as a customer chews.

These advertisements, however; can heavily affect the ideas and opinions of the consumer. The notion of advertisements and how it affects the minds of buyers from the mid-twentieth to today can be explained in Thomas Frank's “Commodify Your Dissent” and

The ad being analyzed is “Save Paper. Save the Planet.” This ad explicitly sells “Save Paper. Save the Planet”, but implicitly sells that the survival of the forest is directly connected to what people consume (Holm 1).
