Bobby Basquez. The topic I chose was Goldfish. The snack is advertised for kids and has been successful as a daily lunch filler. It Can be compared to cartoon acting and childhood because they have many video advertisements about imaginary scenarios they are in. The slogan "The snack that smiles back" can be a positive reason for their success.

Focusing on Elon Musk's social media branding on X (Twitter) for public insights. The car can be seen as both a lifesaver due to the "self-driving" setting, but others have been seen as electronic cars that have ruined people's lives.

The topic I’m deciding to write about is on Red Bull. Red Bull has primarily branded itself as “Giving you Wings” due to the drink being an energy drink. The ad I chose depicts penguins, penguins are naturally unable to fly, which already sets a basis for what the ad will be focused on.

The brand I chose to write about is Gap. This brand uses many well thought out strategies to gain attraction from consumers. They have created many famously known ads that advertises the good quality of their items. They use dancers as a way to appeal to audiences and these videos gain a lot of attraction. They create iconic collaborations with different music artists too to push out their product.

The ad I choose to write about is Apple. More specifically Safari the Apple browsing app. The brand has many ads to advertise their product and they have so many products, like the iPhone, Apple Watch, MacBook, and more. But I thought it was interesting to chose a product that is not physical, but still apart of Apple. In this ad, they used cameras with wings to spy on people who are using another browser other than Safari. The ad puts the point across very well about the safety of using Safari. Jayleen Ruiz.

Diana Armenta-The topic I chose to write about is Coca-Colas “Share a Coke” campaign. It’s a good example of how a company can use strategies like personalization and sharing to connect with their audience. The campaign combines, visual verbal and digital elements, so that the rhetorical appeals are more clear and easy to understand.

Elf cosmetics is a popular makeup brand. It advertises affordable and good quality makeup for those who can't afford expensive makeup. The ad I chose express how much women spend hundreds of dollars on makeup that's not even good for them when they can spend less for something that does the same thing but better pricing. Elf is also for having cruelty free makeup products something that people look for.

The topic I chose is Toyota car commercials. The video above shows that owning a Toyota can make someone a "leader," someone who has the title of the highest social ranking, and because of that aspect from someone other people might follow every move of the "leader makes." I chose this Topic because it shows Ethos appeal as it makes a person have high social ranking, and so by that appeal consumers has a better chance of buying a Toyota car to make them "superior."

Thomas Godinez-

I chose Michael Jordans ad with Gatorade. Gatorade is used to replenish electro lights after a workout but in this scenario Jordan playing a one on one with his past self. Gatorades slogan "is it in you" could refer to you drinking the drink or as an athlete do you have the strive inside to keep going. At the end the older mike and his younger self are seen drinking Gatorade and he is telling his younger self to keep playing since he's gotten older and not as energetic.

The topic I have chosen is Celsius- "Celsius Redefines How to Fuel Everyday Life" which features multiple perspectives of people going through the day fueled by the caffeinated drink, Celsius. Personally, I chose this because I had this phase where I mostly drank celsius to get me through a 4 mile run after school and I continue to purchase the item when I need an energy boost for the gym. What mostly attracted me towards their product is their low calorie nutrition which is 5 Cals, and I believe many people are also attracted to a low nutritional value which also comes with variety of flavors.

This topic probably won't be the one I choose but for now I chose this ad. it uses the phrase "because you can't chew deodorant" what this means is it is just how deodorant helps keep you clean and smelling good, so will their gum. this phrase is really creative in my opinion. -josias camarillo

Jacky Durán- The brand I chose to write about is coach. They market themselves as a credible brand by showing that even celebrities use their bags. Their sales pitch is that there is a coach bag for everyone. Coach also likes to entice their audience by saying that their bags are a form of self expression that give you confidence when you’re wearing one. In this ad specifically it features Elle Fanning and she is nervous because she is there for an audition. Then the bag starts moving around making her dance and also reminding her that she should be confident because she has her Coach purse.

The ad I chose, "Make Health Last" by the Canadian Heart & Stroke Foundation, shows two versions of a man’s last 10 years, one sick and dependent, the other healthy and active. Its message is that living longer isn’t enough, it’s about living well. The ad uses emotion and logic to encourage people to make healthier choices now so their final years can be better

The ad i chose was "Refresh your energy" by Celsius. This ad shows how good the drink is and its ingredients that people would want to have and drink this type of energy drink showing how much of an impact the viewers will have on the drink when they drink it.

2025-09-08 20:53:12 UTC

Lili Nieto- The ad I choose was "Party Blitz" it focuses on googles ai assistant tool "Gemini Live". It has a man who knows nothing about football but wants to fit in with his girlfriends family. The man then asks ai for help to impress them. Its supposed to be a humorous ad about how you can use this tool to seem intelligent and well versed in a subject. It's implying that as long as you use the ai, you too can fit in with the family.

2025-09-08 20:56:08 UTC

Ernie Molina- The ad I chose was "Globe Trotter" by Golf le Fluer*. This ad shows how the main character of the story lives a whole life with the same suitcase and is now passing it down to his son. We see clips of the main character (the father) doing countless things with the suitcase, from stealing to signing books. What the ad is trying to imply is that the suitcase is of good quality, and it will last you a lifetime of adventures

Elias Ortega- The ad I chose to write about was the 2017 ad introducing The New Mercedes AMG C-Class Coupé. The ad is has a narrative about understanding the world and a person through memories of overcoming fleeting moments at a young age, contrasting with the lasting impact of a single, exceptional experience. It uses the C-Class coupé as something that will make a grand impression, enthralling the consumer with drifting through a doc with a powerful man in a suit who embraces these powerful, singular moments and believes what he sees. As the ad's motto "Seeing is believing."

This ad shows the new era of perfume for women its slogan being "The New Eau of Perfume". This ad shows a Woman controlling some sailors boat, this is persuasive because it shows that if you have this perfume on you may be able to control men. Near the end the sailor reaches out for her, this also shows how men might want you more. In the beginning it also shows people doing stuff for her as if she were a queen.

The topic I chose to write about is a MagicJohn screen protector ad. The reason I chose this is the ad proves the strength and claims the advertiser (Brother Liang) makes. The advertisement shows the features of the MagicJohn screen protector against a regular one. There are various tests shown such as dust being removed when the film is applied, the durability of the glass, and the privacy angle it offers.

2025-09-08 21:02:26 UTC

Branden Pelayo- The ad I have chosen is an army commericial ''BE ALL YOU CAN BE.'' It reflects the idea that the army is diverse and everyone around you has the potential to become a better version of themselves by joining the army. It depicts individuals from various perspectives and how they all end up joining the army by promoting nationalism and as an honorable thing to do.

Elissa Rocha- The ad I had pick was Sydney Sweeneys American Eagle Ad. This ad became controversial because of the way Sweeney was talking about the jeans, how she used them, modeled in them, and even talked in them. Basically, instead of advertising about the jeans more, She sexualized woman in a negative way. Society thinks the ad focused on womans body's instead of the talents/gifts/personalities. In result, society took offence from this ad because of its controversial script in the ad. They should have shown how when woman wear American Eagle jeans, their gifts pop out even more. They look and feel stronger, smarter, and more confident.

This advertisement is by Nike, called "Nike Zoom Pegasus ", which is advertising running shoes. They advertise the shoes by making them appealing to use. They do this by using the role of ethos. Eluid Kipchoge is speaking and wearing the shoes, which gives credibility since he is an extremely high-level distance runner. Then they give statements on the comfort and capability of the shoes. also saying how it will make you feel more capable, therefore having a better running experience, and that's when the pathos role occurs. Then they give facts about the shoe technology, which uses the Logos role. Nike is targeting people who already run or are serious athletes who want a better high-level shoe.

Stephanie Reyes: The advertisement I chose was the “Pebbles Yabba Dabba Doo!” It’s always stood out to me because of its catchy song and my childhood connection to my favorite cereal brand. Growing up I always loved watching this ad on Tv. It brings me back to some many memories from when I was a kid. They used a catchy song to make you remember the cereal.
