Ad analysis!

Simple Apple.

Apple is a company now known for the user interaction and simplicity - everything Steve Jobs strived for. so why should the advertisements be any different

three key factors

Music - Using famous songs always help, here we have Daft punk,legendary music producers.

The whie ear phones - This has become more than a fashion accessory, this has become a sign of unity - owning these ear phone is a symbol that you too have an ipod. Cleaver marketing.

Silhouette- The use of this is to keep it simple. keep it interesting and keep it fun.

Ad analysis!

The Skoda Advertisments!

This tv ad is actually a response to a previous advertisment which skoda launched a few years earlier. The previous one was sucesful, however, this almost feels as it ridicules it and gives the car company a more fiery edge feel.

Tyhree major Factors!

one - Normally when a comapny decides to do sequals to their existing sucesful  ad it becomes a huge iratating failure - compre the meerkat comes to mind - keeping it fresh is vital. This ad was more fiery, advertusous and more bruatl, giving the mpression that the vehical is a beast.

Two - The song.  This is  the same song as the original happy churpy one, hoever, throw in a electric guitar and some new vocals you got a completley differnt song and meaning,

Three - Creativity. The previous ad was skoda producing a car out of cake, this time it was through snakes venom and an angry mad with dangerous teeth.

Introduction to Advertising!

Advertisment - definition
A form of comunication to persuade a viewer/audience to partake in an even, sell a product or promote.

Advertising has become one of the richest platforms in media, being displayed everywhere, from football matches to the tv, even sublimely in movies.

The infamous Gorilla 
If the product name wasn't displayed throughout this advertisement, you probably would not of guessed that this drumming Gorilla to Phil Collins in the air has is trying to promote chocolate, however, this is one of the most sucessful contempoary advertisment.

There are three factors which makes this sucessfull.
One - Cadbury took a well known song, added a few drumming hear and there to make this classic feel modern, allowing this to become as catchy as the common cold. The song actually came back into the charts.

Two - the brand name was there, but it seems as it wasn't, this allows the viewer to ponder on what the comany was, allowing them to refelect about Cadbury and its products.

Three - This advertisement was out the blue. In comparison to the previous cadbury adverts, this was more far fetched and bizarre, in comparison to the others- which was relevant to chocolate. This new twist of advertisement allowed it to become more fun and exciting.
