Advertisement Analysis
Video Ad #1
• A two - wheeler named Kinetic SYM Flyte is the product being
advertised
• It Positions itself as a smart 2 wheeler targeting Gen X girls
• The ad is trying to capture the intended target audience i.e. young girls
and hence Bipasha Basu is used as the model
• The ad highlights the new features and provides few important
information for the potential buyers
• The Ad makes an assumption that the young Gen X girls is not feminist
but smart and tuff. Thus they try to position their product as a smart
new vehicle for the targeted audience
• The central point of the ad is the superiority showcased in comparison
to its competitors product
• The ad uses a model of two-wheeler similar to that of the competitors
to portray their product to be a more accepted and superior one – This
questions the ethos appeal which is most prominent, particularly the
sense of fair play
• Hence, the starting part of the ad was later scrapped while airing
• The ad tries to strike the pathos appeal of the intended audience-
Desire of being a smart and independent girl
• The comparison part can be avoided and still achieve its goal
• This ad scores well on likability and enjoyment by the target audience
but scores low on ad recall and awareness.

Video Ad #2

being advertised
• The central point of the ad is to bring of a superficial new variety of
mango, and positioning itself as “bina gutli wala aam”( seedless
mango)
 • The ad departs from the reality of being a seedless mango but
convincingly speaks that its main competitor is the real fruit and not
other fruit drink and hence scored well on the believability factor also
• The intention of the ad to depart from reality is to strengthen brand
Maaza’s strong association with the mango in a very entertaining and
engaging manner with a whole new positioning
• The is been quite effective in reaching the minds of the general
audience with the entertaining and twisting ad with actors
• But a similar Ad was already on air with a similar positioning – “where
is the pulp” by the same Coco Cola brand
• Also "Bin gulti ka aam" was first applied to Parle Mango Bite sugar
confectionery in year 1990 and hence the ethos appeal comes in
picture
• The ad scored well on parameters like brand recall, likability and
enjoyment

evident from the beginning of the ad

product. Also the flipside of the ad is the low believability aspect about
the effectiveness of the claims made
