[Figure 16] Impressive advertisement
 Q. Please tell me your assessment toward the above advertisements? [MA] Based on n=562
No. Response about Clear’s advertisement
1
I am impressive with advertisement of Clear.
Smooth, long, and strong hair is very eye-catching.
Because I am a woman, I also want to have that
beautiful hair. Especially, there is no dandruff on
that hair scalp. Hair is strong from inside to outside
which attracts many guys.
2
Ronaldo chooses Clear Men because it symbolizes
strength, stylish, and winning. Clean scalp in 365
days.
3
TVC of Clear is very interesting. When it is hot, the
actor’s hair is frozen after using Clear. After a head
shaking, ice is broken which brings cool and fresh
feelings.
No. Response about X-men’s advertisement
1
I like TVC of X-men. A guy rescues a beautiful girl
kidnapped by bad guys. Car racing around
containers and handsome face of that guy. The
ending part of this TVC is a X circle symbolizing
for X-men created by car racing. I really like that
circle as it is so creative.
2
I am impressed with TVC of X-men. The actor and
actress are in dangerous because of earthquake
when they are in theater. The actress is fallen off the
upper floor. Foturnately, the man promptly takes her
hands and uses his metal wire knit to throw it into
next red carpet. Then, he jumps on it to rescue both
of them.
