It relies on a clever and witty approach to highlight the flaws or contradictions in an argument, often by exaggerating them. 

By stating that "you're going to die anyway," the message conveys a sense of resignation and acceptance of an unavoidable outcome. It implies that regardless of one's actions or choices, death is an inescapable reality. The use of the word "anyway" suggests that the inevitability of death overrides any other considerations, potentially downplaying the significance of health risks associated with smoking.

By writing "Why quit" in the boldest font, it wins over smokers, as quitting is the hardest part and smokers are always looking for alternatives that would satisfy their addiction without being detrimental to their health and environment. The sentence "no one likes a quitter..." plays on the ego of a person. all in all, I think this is a good example of a persuasive advertisement, especially for a product that is so bad.

Claims to give you energy. While no factual evidence of this claim is given, it tries to convince by visual. The visuals try to convince you that Coca Cola is similar to a plug fueled with energy and the red background which is associated with danger, and danger gives you adrenaline rush and makes you full of energy.

Rather than making their customers swagger about their product , Clairol infused an idea of concealment in their product promotion. They effectively put forward the claim that Miss Clairol hair colour appears so natural ,thereby, leaving others clueless in deciding whether you have actually coloured your hair or not.

Complan- "Yes."

In a society (and world at large) where your height is considered to be directly proportional to your confidence, advertisments like these become a common sight.
The above advertisement uses one of the biggest insecurity of the mankind (short height) to sell their product. This product, a health and energy powder that claims to increase growth; is targeted particularly towards kids. They have juxtaposed the image of a short-heighted kid with that of a kid who is 'not' short-heighted. The expression on the short-heighted kid's face gives away that is he not happy and not confident enough, most probably because of his height. Whereas the other kid looks happy and confident. What is written on there shirts is also a key detail here. While the sad kid's shirt says 'Other Kids', the happy kid's shirt says 'Complan'; asserting how kids who drink Complan are in a way, dare I say, better than the 'other' kids.
We live in a world where no one wants to be a part of 'others', especially the young minds(which are easy to corrupt). Hence advertisements like these help boost the popularity (and sales) of the product(s), even if that comes at the cost of someone's insecurity:(]]> 2023-06-24 20:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kshema/h8iujv63dx06ywkm/wish/2631536986 sakshi3m6 https://padlet.com/kshema/h8iujv63dx06ywkm/wish/2631667899 This is the cover of the upcoming book-to-screen adaptation of Casey McQuinston's bestselling novel Red, White & Royal Blue. The book revolves around a romance between the prince of England and the first son of the United States. The premise in itself is attention-catching for its scandalous nature. A homosexual romance between the sons of the leaders of two of the most powerful countries (which haven't had a history of the most amicable relations) in the world? Tell me more!

The first thing that grabs my attention in the cover is the two entangled feet (Due to their placement in the center) and their socks - That's right, those are the flags of Britain and America on their socks. A country's flag is its pride and the fact that they are being worn by the main characters on their feet, which are in contact, implies that their bond has more power than whatever obstacles lie in their way, for example the complicated political situation that would arise due to their romance.
The tagline 'Love gets royally complicated,' emphasises on that fact with its clever wordplay.

The usage of colours is immaculate. The colours used in the background reference the title, which I find very clever. The setting is fairly posh and diplomatic, with the two men dressed in well-tailored suits, and the plush couch they are seated on.

Adaptations of existing media are made majorly for existing fans, and everything about this cover appeals to the lovers of the book, and creates an excitement among them for the movie.
Above the heading, there is also a mention of the fact that the book this movie is based on is a New York Times bestseller, which would work well to attract new viewers, unfamiliar with the book. This is a great marketing tactic, as not only existing fans, but other people would also be interested to watch the movie.

As she rubs it in, the cracks begin to vanish, and the paint transforms into smooth, rejuvenated skin. This visual metaphor creates an emotional bond by resonating with the typical wintertime skin problem of cracked skin and making it seem relatable. The ad promotes Vaseline as an effective treatment for the discomfort brought on by cracked skin by showing its ability to heal and moisturize dry skin. This serves to further the notion that Vaseline can restore smoothness and vitality to the skin during the winter.]]> 2023-06-25 09:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kshema/h8iujv63dx06ywkm/wish/2631668075 faminawazis2004 https://padlet.com/kshema/h8iujv63dx06ywkm/wish/2631670046 Chupa Chups effectively promotes their sugar-free lollipops using a very creative visualization.

The caption mentioned in the picture says that when a person is hungry, they won't have the energy to speak or write well. Creators of the ad have deliberately made spelling mistakes throughout the ad ( including the one on the wrappers where our attention falls first ), in order to, reflect the point that our brain doesn't work well once we feel hungry. There is also a subtle implication in the ad that Snickers is good enough to instantly satisfy our hunger and reload ourselves with energy.]]> 2023-06-25 09:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kshema/h8iujv63dx06ywkm/wish/2631677563 sakshi3m6 https://padlet.com/kshema/h8iujv63dx06ywkm/wish/2631682851 Swiggy is a brand known for going all out in their advertising campaigns. While there are many examples of Swiggy's clever advertisements to choose from, this one is my favourite.

In classic Swiggy manner, this is a very quirky advertisement, showing 'the Swiggy Man' clad in a spacesuit on the moon, fishing out a Swiggy delivery package in outer space. Thus implying that Swiggy can deliver food anywhere, even if that place is not on earth. Not only is Swiggy delivering food, it is also delivering water to outer space, hence helping in establishing life on another planet. This reasserts Swiggy's claim that they are omnipresent.

The text in the top left corner is asking people to identify what makes this poster a Swiggy ad, and an award money of ₹ 1 lakh is offered for creative theories. This again, is an excellent marketing technique from Swiggy. People analysed the ad and came up with their own theories, looking for any element that could be related to Swiggy. 

Apart from the cleverness and chef's kiss humour of Swiggy's marketing team, this ad is also beautifully made. There is excellent usage of colours, and the ad is very pleasing to look at. With the distant floating planets, the purplish-blue scene of the outer space, the nebula in the background and the high-tech machinery in the front, this poster looks like it came straight out of a high fantasy sci-fi comic book. (There has indeed been fanfiction written with this ad as inspiration.)

After over 6 years of radio silence, they returned to they public eye with 3 cryptic videos posted to their YouTube channel, entitled "An Offering...", 'MCRXX" and "A summoning..." alongside this image on all of their social media accounts.
While this may not exactly be an effective form of persuasion to all, it serves the niche of persuading their target audience and those in adjacent circles, an admittedly sizable amount of people, to keep up with what they were up to. Despite being relatively "new" to the scene when compared to bands like The Smashing Pumpkins (1988) or Green Day (1987), MCR (2001) have been a source of inspiration to many bands that formed later and have since risen to fame, like Twenty One Pilots (2009), and Waterparks (2011). The audiences of all these bands largely coincide, which meant more people were persuaded into keeping up with My Chemical Romance during their cryptic return.

Then who made the ad on the right? Their fans. On the right is the same picture with a different caption.
