TV Commercial homework

Watch the following commercials and analyze them according to the following:

1. Message (ad hook)

2. Product

3. Targetted consumer

4. Whatever else you want to say about it.




3) "Commitmentphobe"


4)Hello?



For example:

No 1:

1. message- ad hooks

Humor- play on words and sligtly black humor because the heart jumps out of her chest
Product- resume/job agency
Targeted consumer- people looking for a job,. However, I think this ad specifically targets young women because the model is a young woman working as a secretary. In addition, I think there is a scondary purpose to this ad. The young woman is working a traditionally female job in a classic position- attractive, competent, college-educated secretary working for a middle-aged, fat, slobby jerk. The secondary message may be that a well-educated, competent woman should not settle for such a dead-end job.
