The scenes of the robot destroying things and causing damage invites viewers to fantasize about aggressing.

Slide15: 

Created by: Frucor Beverages Ltd Target audience: Young partying teens and college guys. Description: The ad is set in a living room decorated in a jungle theme. Your eye automatically looks at the lightest color in the page which is the young mans shirt. You notice that he is sitting like a monkey in a 1970’s chair while your eye moves down to the left towards an oversized monkey hand which is beside the main text, which is in neon green. The text reads, “Release the monkey in you.” It is then you realize the carpet is made of monkey hair and then you see bamboo on the walls. Following the lines of the bamboo, your eye wanders up towards a light that is also near text that says, “Taste the smoothness.” Other Advertising Tactics Used to market new lines of beverages to boost sales and awareness such as “V Energy Drink”

Slide16: 

Need for affiliation: Gives the idea that you can be crazy tonight by one drink . Usually people like to get crazy with others and not by themselves. Need for attention: Attention ties in with affiliation. The ad seems to be saying, “Be the life of the party with V!” On Monday, everyone will remember you acting crazy during the weekend which will make you cool. Need to escape: Escape solitary. A person wants to escape the studying frame of mind by having fun on the weekend. Need to satisfy curiosity: Its part of human nature to be curious. Guys want to know how much like a monkey V will make them. Basic Appeals References: Advertising's Fifteen Basic Appeals - Jib Fowles

Slide17: 

Target audience: Teen girls - 25 year old women. Description: A blonde skinny girl with a good looking body has been caught by a cube of sugar with a video camera while sunbathing without her top on. The young woman has her chest covered as she screams for the sugar to stop filming. But the sugar just stands on the perfectly green grass with one hand on his “hip” and his other hand holding the video camera. The sugar is like a disgusting nosey little neighbor boy spying on you. At the bottom right corner reads,” Say no to sugar.” Next to the text is a can of sugarless V energy. Your eye moves up the page again to look at details you might have missed, like the giant pool and fancy trimmed hedges. Tapping into Female Demographic

Slide18: 

Need for sex: Appeals to male audience’s sex drive and raging hormones Need to be safe: Be careful about your health. Don’t let sugar be as intrusive as a nosey neighbor boy with a camera Need to dominate: The ad is telling future customers, “Take control of your life by controlling your weight. Control your weight with V.” Need for attention: The girl is sunbathing almost completely naked. Chances are she wants to look good for a man Need to be healthy: Ad makes viewer feel bad about their own looks causing them to choose to watch their sugar intake in order to not gain weight Need to achieve: The ad subconsciously tells the viewer that success is being beautiful: blonde hair, long legs, and perky breasts. The ad says success is being rich: Having a big well groomed yard and huge pool. To have the energy to be successful you need to drink V Need for aesthetic sensations: Consumers are unknowingly sensitive to artwork Psychological Needs

Slide19: 

A common unhealthy message of this advertising trend is that emotional needs can be met by buying a product. It is implied that by drinking an energy drink, needs such as the need to dominate, the need to aggress, the need for affiliation and the need for attention can be fulfilled. Marketers constantly condition consumers to believe in the idea of "instant gratification." Consumers become more dependent on energy drinks as a substitution for nutritious fruits, vegetables and exercising. Social Impacts Nutritious fruits

Slide20:

It remains unknown as to whether any medical conditions and related prescription medication will interact with energy drinks.
