These messages emphasize the features of the product or services and/or benefits or reasons for owning or using a particular brand. There are several types of rational appeals, as shown in this slide.
The content of the rational appeal message emphasizes facts, learning, and the logic of persuasion. They tend to be informative in nature and attempt to convince the consumer to use the brand because it is the best available or does a better job of meeting their needs.

Summary Overview
This slide contains a commercial for TaylorMade Golf called “Father,” which is a very good example of an emotional appeal. It features seven members of TaylorMade’s Tour Staff sharing memories about learning the game from, and playing the game with, their fathers.
The commercial was part of TaylorMade’s “I Am a Golfer” advertising campaign, which was part of a fully integrated campaign launched in 2006. This particular ad was first run during the U.S. Open golf tournament, which is the one of the most popular sporting events of the year and concludes on Father’s Day.
Use of this slide
This slide can be used to discuss how marketers use emotional appeals to connect with consumers. TaylorMade is the market leader for several types of golf clubs and traditionally has focused on the technical and performance aspects of its equipment. This commercial was part of a branding initiative designed to connect with golfers on an emotional level. As discussed in the text, many companies recognize that it is important to connect with consumers on an emotional, as well as rational level.
Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 286 of the text.
Summary OverviewTransformational ads are defined as those which associate the experience of using the advertised brand with a unique set of psychological characteristics not typically associated with the brand experience, or to the same degree without exposure to the advertisement. Transformational ads create feelings, images, and beliefs about the product or service that may be activated when consumers use it.
A transformational ad has two characteristics:
It must make the experience of using the product richer, warmer, more exciting, and/or more enjoyable than that obtained from a general description of the advertised brand.
It must connect the experience of the ad so tightly with the experience of using the brand that the consumer cannot remember the brand without recalling the experience generated by the advertisement.
Use of this slideThis slide can be used to discuss transformational advertising and its distinctive characteristics. Transformational advertising can differentiate a product or service by making the consumption experience more enjoyable and/or meaningful.
Relation to textThis slide relates to material on p. 270, which discusses transformational advertising and IMC Perspective 9-1.
Summary OverviewThis slide shows a print ad for Skyy vodka. The campaign is a good example of image advertising, which can be transformational in nature. The ad is designed to create a certain feeling or mood that is activated when a consumer uses Skyy vodka, and it resonates well with the target market of 21 to 34 year-old, urban metro consumers and has helped establish an emotional connection between them and the brand.
Use of this slideThis slide can be used to show an example of image advertising, which is transformational in nature. Transformational ads create feelings, images meanings, and beliefs about the product or service that may be activated when consumers use it and thus "transforms" their interpretation of the usage experience.
Relation to textThis slide relates to material on page 287 and Exhibit 9-7 of the text.
Summary OverviewConsumer purchase decisions are often made on the basis of both emotional and rational motives, and attention must be given to both when developing effective advertising. The ad shown on this slide is a good example of one that contains both emotional and rational appeals.
Use of this slideUse this slide to point out that, as David Ogilvy and Joel Raphaelson have stated, few purchase of any kind are made for entirely rational reasons. Even a purely functional product, such as laundry soap, could offer the emotional benefit of seeing one’s children in bright, clean clothes.
Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 287-289 and Figure 9-2 of the text.
Summary OverviewThe basic concept of emotional bonding is that consumers develop three levels of relationships with brands, as shown on this slide.
The McCann Erickson Worldwide advertising agency developed a proprietary research technique known as emotional bonding that is used to assess how consumers feel about brands and the nature of any emotional rapport they may have them. The three levels of relationships consumer have with brands are based on:
Product benefits – how consumers think about brands with respect to product benefits. This occurs through a rational learning process.
Personality – the consumer assigns a personality to the brand (aggressive, adventurous, timid, etc.). This personality is determined on the basis of cues found in advertising.
Emotions – the strongest relationship between brand and consumer and is based on feelings and emotional attachment to the brand.
Use of this slideThis slide can be used to discuss the concept of emotional bonding and the three levels of relationships a consumer might have with brands. The goal of some advertising campaigns is to develop an emotional linkage between the brand and the consumer.

Summary OverviewThis slide shows a print ad from MasterCard’s award-winning “Priceless” campaign, which was based on emotional bonding research. When the McCann-Erickson agency took over the account a few years ago, MasterCard was perceived as an ordinary credit card you keep in your wallet. The challenge was to create an emotional bond between consumers and MasterCard without losing the brand’s functional appeal. The “Priceless” campaign has helped build an emotional bond with consumer by positioning MasterCard as the best way to pay for everything that truly matters and can enrich one’s life.
Use of this slideThis slide can be used to show an example of an ad campaign that was developed on the basis of research using emotional bonding. The “Priceless” campaign has been extremely successful and now is used in 80 different countries.
Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 289-290 of the text.
Summary OverviewReminder advertising has the objective of building brand awareness and/or keeping the brand name in front of consumers. Reminder ads are often used by well-known brands and market leaders. Altoids uses reminder ads, like the one shown on this slide, to build national brand awareness and communicate its quirky “curiously strong” message to consumers.
Use of this slideUse this slide during discussion of reminder ads, including how and why they are used, and by whom.
Relation to textThis slide relates to material on page 290 of the text.
Summary OverviewAdvertisers introducing a new product often use teaser ads, which is designed to build curiosity, interest, and/or excitement by talking about the new product, but not actually showing it. Teaser ads, also called mystery ads, are also used for new movies or TV shows. They are especially popular among automotive advertisers for introducing a new model or announcing significant changes in a vehicle.
Use of this slideThis slide can be used to provide an example of teaser advertising, and how it is being used to introduce a new car to the market.
Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 290-299 of the text.
Summary OverviewCreative execution is the way in which an advertising appeal is presented. As shown on this slide, there are a number of ways in which creative specialists can present the advertising message.
Use of this slideThis slide can be used to discuss the various options available to advertisers for executing their ads. The slides that follow show some examples of advertisements using several of these techniques.
Relation to textThis slide relates to material on p. 291 of the text.
Summary OverviewOne of the most basic types of creative executions is the straight sell or factual message, which relies on a straightforward presentation of information about a product or service. This type of execution is often used with informational/rational appeals, where the focus of the message is the product or service and its specific attributes and/or benefits.
Hitachi uses a straight-sell execution style in the ad shown on this slide.
Use of this slideThis ad can be used as an example of how straight sell execution is used in advertising to communicate product features and benefits, and appeal to rational purchase motives.
Relation to textThis slide relates to material on p. 293 and Exhibit 9-13 of the text.
Summary OverviewDemonstration advertising is designed to illustrate the key advantages of a product or service by showing it in actual use or in some staged situation. TV is particularly well suited for demonstration executions, because the benefits or advantages of the product can be shown right on the screen.
This slide shows a print ad for Mendadent Replenishing White toothpaste, which uses the demonstration technique to show how the brand’s Liquid Calcium technology replenishes the surface enamel to whiten teeth and guard against stains.
Use of this slideThis ad can be used as an example of how a demonstration execution is used in print advertising. The three figures at the bottom of the ad show how the toothpaste replenishes surface enamel, resulting in whiter teeth and a more youthful appearance.
Relation to textThis slide relates to material on page 29-294 of the text.
Summary OverviewSlice-of-life is a widely used advertising format, especially for packaged-goods products, and is generally based on a problem/solution approach.
Slice-of-life ads are often criticized for being unrealistic and irritating to watch because they remind consumers of a personal nature, such as dandruff, bad breath, body odor, and laundry problems. These ads often come across to consumers are contrived, silly, phony, or even offensive. However, any advertisers still prefer this style because they believe it is effective as presenting a situation to which most consumers can relate.
With a slice-of-death advertising, the slice-of-life ad is used in conjunction with a fear appeal. The focus is on the negative consequences that result from not using the product or service.
Listerine used a slice-of-life commercial, shown on this slide, to introduce a new Natural Citrus flavor of the popular mouthwash.
Use of this slideThis slide can be used to show an example of a slice-of-life ad execution method.

Summary OverviewAnimation is an advertising technique that has become popular in recent years, especially for commercials targeted to children. Examples would be the Jolly Green Giant and the Keebler elves. Some advertisers have also begun to mix animation with real people, as in the ad where Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny trounced a foursome on the basketball court.
Charles Schwab & Co. has been using a technique known as rotoscoping in its commercials. It involves shooting live-action digital videos of actors and then using special software to make them look animated. The technique was effective in drawing attention to the ads and creating an image of the company as being candid and real.
Use of this slideUse this slide when discussing the use of animation in advertising, including the latest technique, rotoscoping.
Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 295-296 of the text, and Exhibit 9-18.
Summary OverviewAnother type of advertising execution involves developing a central character or personality symbol that can deliver the advertising message and with which the product or service can be identified. Examples include Mr. Whipple, “Please don’t squeeze the Charmin,” or the Maytag repairman, who sits anxiously by the phone, but is never needed.
Personality figures can also be animated characters and animals, such as Morris the cat, Tony the tiger, and Charlie the tuna. Recently popular personality symbols include the Energizer bunny, the Geico gecko, and the Aflac duck (shown on this slide).
Use of this slide
Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 296-298 and Exhibit 9-19 of the text.
Summary OverviewThis slide shows a print ad for Jeep, which associates the Jeep Wrangler with images of the outdoors and adventure. Advertising for trucks and SUVs often shows the vehicles navigating tough terrain or in challenging situations such as towing a heavy load. Notice how this clever Jeep ad uses only the image of the vehicle on the bottom of a snowboard to associate the vehicle with the outdoors and adventuresome activities.
Use of this slideThis ad can be used as an example of how imagery advertising is used in print ads. These advertisements use imagery executions whereby the ad consists primarily of visual elements such as pictures, illustrations, and/or symbols rather than information. An imagery execution is used when the goal is to encourage consumers to associate the brand with the symbols, characters, and/or situation shown in the ad.
Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 299-302 of the text.
Summary OverviewThis slide shows the basic components of a print advertisement. They are:
Headline – words in the leading position of the ad, usually are read first
Subheads – secondary to the main headline, larger than the body copy
Body copy – main text portion of the ad, getting the target audience to read is difficult
