Choix de l’affiche publicitaire :

La stratégie de communication de marques de produits de tous les jours comme le déodorant dans notre cas ou encore d’autres produits d’hygiène (shampoings, Gel douche…) misent indubitablement sur la simplicité et la clarté en premier lieu à l’instar d’une publicité du shampoing Head& Shoulders qui garantit la disparition de pellicules après un lavage régulier ou une publicité comparative mettant en évidence l’efficacité d’un produit de lessive par rapport à un autre. C’est là où se démarque un des produits phare de la grande enseigne Unilever : le déodorant Axe ; car là où beaucoup de marques avaient misé sur la simplicité et les caractéristiques premières de leur produit, Axe a choisi ces dernières années la carte de l’humour et l’exagération pour véhiculer son message.
C’est donc de l’intérêt pour cette stratégie originale en matière de publicité qui a motivé mon choix. Procédons donc à l’analyse de cette affiche publicitaire.

Description de l’image :
La première chose que l’on remarque est une abondance de couleurs assez foncées à l’arrière plan avec une couleur mauve et violette prédominante. A l’inverse, ces couleurs assez sombres mettent en valeur ce qui semble être l’aspect le plus important de cette affiche : le mauve nous aide à concentrer notre regard sur la somptueuse femme brune représentée en ange et éclairée par une lumière qui semble venir du ciel, avec tous les attributs que notre société moderne reconnaît à ces créatures : prédominance du blanc, présence des ailes, beauté...
Cible de la publicité :
Nombreux sont les produits de la gamme Axe mais leur publicité demeure incontestablement basée sur l’humour et l’exagération mais plus précisément sur la séduction. C’est un produit qui faute de s’adresser à un public très large ou consommateur de produit de luxe a principalement pour cible des adolescents un peu timide ou complexés qui pourront après vaporisation du déodorant Axe séduire des jeunes femmes « en un clin d’œil ». Nous n’oublierons pas la publicité de l’homme chocolat qui « fait craquer » toutes les filles en utilisant le déodorant Axe chocolat ou celle d’Axe Final Edition sorti à l’occasion de la prétendue « fin du monde 2012 » et qui nous faisait réaliser nous jeunes adultes que le meilleur moyen de profiter de nos derniers jours sur terre est de séduire le plus de demoiselles grâce à ce déodorant dont le prix n’excède pas les 5 euros.
L’efficacité de cette stratégie commerciale a été telle que ce produit de consommation quotidien a acquis une notoriété telle qu’il annonce dans sa dernière publicité vantant les mérites du nouvel Axe Apollo un concours pour gagner une place pour le premier voyage à l’espace en 2013. C’est aussi le packaging original du produit avec ses différents motifs travaillés qui explique également ce succès.
Analyse de la publicité :
Cette affiche publicitaire fait la promotion d’un des déodorants de la marque qui se nomme « Provocation ». Nous allons tout de suite expliquer en quoi cette affiche rend bien compte de cette notion. Tout d’abord la nuance du mauve et du violet en arrière plan connote le rêve, la douceur mais cache une pointe de sensualité et de provocation, une idée que l’on retrouve clairement et plus nettement chez le personnage de l’ange au regard charmeur et à la posture séductrice. C’est dans cette même perspective que s’inscrit la présence d’un cercle dans sa main qui correspond sans nul doute à une auréole, symbole de sainteté et d’innocence, un symbole que cet ange « déchu » n’ a aucun scrupule de retirer faisant preuve d’une évidente provocation.
Enfin, le slogan de la publicité est en accord avec l’image et fait preuve d’humour avec l’utilisation d’un jeu de mot « Fais même tomber les anges » qui fait référence à la fois à l’ange déchu tombé du ciel attiré par la personne qui dégage le parfum Axe et à la fois à l’expression « tomber sous le charme » en accord avec l’esprit des publicités Axe qui cette fois joue la carte de la provocation en s’aidant de créatures bibliques tel que l’ange.
Détermination loi de Gestalt mise en jeu :
La loi de la figure et du fond de Gestalt est à retenir ici. Elle précise qu’un élément du stimulus (la figure) va dominer les autres éléments en fond.
En effet, toute notre attention est d’abord portée sur l’ange dans cette image .C’est la femme qui représente la figure ce qui une fois de plus est bien en accord avec la stratégie de communication des publicités Axe

James's Room: Poem Analysis

...He hears big thuds it’s dirt being tossed upon him. JAMES (CONT’D) Help, someone, anyone please! The flames continue to lick his abdomen, as he feels feet gallop inside of him. Outside of his abdomen are impressions of nervous spiders and rats as they scurry all around. Blood starts to pour, as the rats gnaw inside. He screams in tremendous pain. JAMES (CONT’D) I’m on my way. INT - JAMES’S ROOM - LATER Through the darkness a Indian ambles towards her as he grasps a war axe. She rummages her drawer by the bedside. Arrows flood through the window. She drops to the ground as her hand is stuck as an arrow pierced her hand and goes through her shoulder. She fumbles inside the drawer as the native charges. Reaches inside and pulls out a revolver and ammo. The native is just feet from her as he gets closer. Drags the axe on the ground. Raises it above his head. She is desperate as she puts in the bullets with one hand. He swings. She closes the chamber. She shoots. CRACK. The bullet tears the natives skull. The axe pierces the drawer right by her head. The native plummets to the ground. She holds on the arrow as she is in immense pain she yanks the arrow out intact. Elizabeth strolls over to the Indian hunched. She stabs the Indian over and over with the arrow head in the neck and chest. Stops and stares at the Indian. Her face covered in blood and her clothes soaked. Cries can be heard closer. They’re war cries. She scatters to the window and peeks out from the bottom. Indians are...

Axe Head

...So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood. But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas,Master! For it was borrowed".(2 Kings 6 vs 4,5). While the Sons of the Prophets were mowing down wood for their proposed new building, one of them suffered the indignity of his borrowed axe head falling into the river. They were in the process that would produce the raw materials for their new house, and suddenly, one of them faced that embarrassing moment of losing his borrowed axe head. The Person who borrowed the axe head may have concealed this issue of borrowing; but when the axe head fell, the concealed issue was revealed. The embarrassment of the axe head falling into the water revealed a hidden embarrassment of someone who had no axe head of his own! Nevertheless, notice that when the axe head fell, the Prophet was on hand to save the day. The one who lost the axe head may have seemed vulnerable in public, but the Prophet was standing by to help. Prophets were God's representatives in Old Testament times; so, when it seemed that embarrassment was brewing, God was on time to save the day. Isn't it true that Life has a way of revealing the same things we try to cover up? We try to conceal embarrassing issues in our life and life reveals it in embarrassing manners. Beloved, hear God's Word: When life makes you seem vulnerable, God is standing by to save you from the shame. You may be close to...

The Murder of the Iceman

...The Murder of Oetzi An unexpected visit in the night led to the devastating destruction of the Italian Alps village. The wind gusted across the entire village as it took with it clumps of orange, red, and yellow crunchy leaves which spread the smells of decomposed leaves. While the hooting owls softly accompanied the soothing sounds of the winds. The trees that surrounded the village stood eerily still where most of them were naked and barren with only a few lonely leaves attached to their arms. The pitch black sky was illuminated by the full moon and many stars. The hundred villagers slept soundlessly in their mud worn huts. Particularly, a well-respected man with the name of Acca, chief of the village, who should have been awake to watch over the village alerting his villagers if intruders were to attack. Unfortunately, a woman’s agonizing cry served as the warning bell instead. A blood-curdling scream awoke Acca from his peaceful dream. “Wh-what was that?” growled the sleepy man slurring his speech. He yawned and rubbed his eyes with his rough hands out of habit. As he sat up on the ground he wondered whether the scream was merely an aspect of his bizarre dream. The side of his prominent, hooked nose twitched involuntarily which signaled that danger is near. He rotated his body slightly to the left trying to see if he could catch a glimpse of something that could prove whether the scream was real or not. While doing so the moonlight that beamed through the window revealed...

...Ancient Hittit Battle Axe For my ancient artifact I made a Hittit battle axe. Hittit warriors would carry a battle-axe in his right and at his left side there would be a sword with a curved blade tucked into his belt. The Hittites battle-axes were specially crafted for killing and designed for warfare ranged in weight from just over 1 to 6 pounds, and in length from just over 30 cm to upwards of 1 to 5 feet they had two different types of battle axes A smaller one-handed axe that could also be used as a club and that, in one or two cases, may be being thrown. The larger axe is usually wielded with both hands. The battle axe for the Hittites were light, fast, and well balanced, and were good for speedy, deadly attacks, as well as for a variety of nasty, clever moves. The Hittit’s liked the battle-axe the most because it wasn’t just a close range weapon but it could be hurled and used as a long-range weapon. The battle-axe wasn’t just used by the Hittit’s but was also used in ancient Egypt, ancient china, the Vikings, and ancient Persia. The battle-axes the Hittit’s used has a iron blade on it which gave them an advantage against other armies who were not using iron because iron was much more powerful then any other metal the other armies were using. The battle axe was a very widely used weapon back in the ancient times and was a very successful weapon for the Hittites...

Analyzing Credibility

...Progressive Commercial: Meant to be Together * In the commercials from Progressive, the ads were paid for by Progressive. Progressive’s slant to their commercial is that Progressive insurance makes everything better. If it is the outdoors then Progressive makes being outside more fun and a better time overall. The examples given by Progressive show that if it is fun it is Progressive, this commercial does not concentrate on prices they just concentrate on showing people having fun, I believe that it reflects the believe that if people are having it appeals to more people, especially at this time with the economic problems that everyone is having. Wendy’s Commercial: Wild Berry Frosting * In the commercials from Wendy’s the ads were paid for by Wendy’s. Wendy’s slant to their commercial is that by having a Wendy’s product you can experience a mini vacation. The commercials from Wendy’s once again have the same reflection of society that Progressive’s commercials have, that they make everything more fun. I think that at this moment in time with the economic problems and everything that is happening, people are more apt to go for something that appeals to the light hearted, to their happier moments. 2nd Part I am not skeptical of Giuliani’s credibility as he, as well as every American, knows what happened on 9/11.

For a start, you can publish the campaign in all countries and territories, and as you progress and your app gets downloads, you can then try selecting target countries. 4. Do some research to find out popularity of your app or service in those countries – check on how similar apps and services have fared in those places. 5. Some countries are generally good when it comes to free and paid apps. They give good ads revenue on free apps and also do well in downloading paid apps, number one on this list is USA and also countries like Turkey, Germany, Spain and Italy have been good to me. 6. Monitor your campaigns periodically. It is good to check on the campaigns at least once a day (daily report) if you have the time. This way you can update the countries and cities, remove the non-performing and add new ones, and even update the ad image and message once in a while. This ensures that your ads are kept exciting and users click through.(improve your CTR). 7. Be careful with funds. Ad campaigns can turn out to be an expensive venture especially with the new payment models introduced by Google recently which collects funds directly from your Credit/debit card directly....

...Question 9 Explanation:  Ad delivery determines how often your ads show throughout the day. After you set your campaign's budget, you have the option to choose one of two ad delivery methods:  1) Standard Delivery (default option) distributes your budget throughout the day to avoid reaching your budget early on. This option is recommended if you want to reach your audience evenly throughout the day, rather than just in the morning.  2) Accelerated Delivery displays your ads more quickly until you run out of budget. So, if your campaign is limited by budget, your ad might stop running earlier in the day. Question 12 Explanation:  A client manager will be billed for these accounts via manager order-level monthly invoice Question 15 Explanation:  Effective video ads educate and entertain, and also inspire the viewer to act. If your campaign's goal is not just about branding, make sure you communicate to your customers what you'd like them to do, such as visit your store or site, call a phone number, or complete a purchase. Letting people know that they can learn more by clicking "play" usually increases play rates and video interaction rates. * Entice customers to click "play" using rich, sharp colors. * Include a few words to describe your product, service, and/or business. * Boost your play rate with a call-to-action that lets customers know they can play the video to learn more. * Create multiple video ads with different opening image sizes to increase...

Narrative tensions like humor and surprise may be also considered as a product of the visuals but should be secondary factors. Acceptable sources for examples include printed ads in magazines and newspapers, static ads on websites, and posters. Unacceptable sources include web banners and ads, videos of any kind, catalogs (inside and out), magazine covers, and websites for the item being promoted. You may scan printed pieces to save as a jpg/png and attach to your response. You may also provide screen shots or urls for print ads that are reproduced online (although, again, web ads are not appropriate). See “File Formats” under Course Content for image size and resolution guidelines.

Eco-Defense

...10 September 2013 Eco-Defense Is the defense of trees equivalent to the defense of our families? Edward Abbey would have you think this to be true. In his speech Eco-Defense, he begins by making the reader feel threatened and ignites a need to put up some kind of defense. For example, in the first sentence he poses the scenario “If a stranger batters your door down with an axe, threatens your family and yourself with deadly weapons, and proceeds to loot your home of whatever he wants” (344 Abbey) it is a crime, which connects with the reader on a deeper and more emotional level. This, however, is not the main point of Abbey’s speech. He attempts to bring the readers to arms to save the forests and trees, but he does so in an unconventional way that could have dire consequences. Abbey was born in 1927 and lived in Pennsylvania until he joined the army after graduating high school. He grew up during the depression, which caused his family to be on the brink of poverty. Ironically, his father worked as a lumberjack when Abbey was a child. Growing up during the depression and watching his father work as a lumber jack could have helped spur on his desire to save the wilderness. He feels so passionately about his cause that the reader should question what ignited that passion to begin with. As a child, he was probably taught to save resources at all costs, but as an adult realized the resources he should be saving are the natural ones. As well-meaning as Abbey is, it is hard...

Evaluating Business Communication

...Evaluating Business Communication BCOM/230 During week four, our Learning Team was assigned with writing several business communication reports to several different levels of management within the organization. There was a communication from the Accountant Manager to the CEO, Staff Accountant to peer, Staff Accountant to Sales Manager and Accountant Manager to the Ad Hoc Committee. In the communication from the Accountant Manager to the CEO, the message was conveyed appropriately, the communication was sent in a formal report, which was appropriate for the audience, the communication was appropriate level, the leadership style affected the communication, and the communication was ethically sound and did not share more information than needed. All communications in the report sent relayed the intended messages very well. However, the communication from the Accountant Manager to the CEO is a great example of a formal communication. At first, the communication was going to be sent as a memo, but after careful consideration, a formal report was created instead. This was the best form of communication sent to the CEO due to being the appropriate level for his position within the company. The report was written using very good word choices for the audience. There was not a lot of accounting jargon used or the use of overly big words. The report was well worded for anyone at any reading level to have read. However, well written the report could have had some visible numbers to...
