Analyzing an Ad

There's more to advertising a successful message than meets the eye. Unlike many advertisements, this Hyundai commercial doesn't spend much time talking about the product it's advertising.

After you have watched the commercial below, answer the following questions:

1.  Explain what you think the ad wants you to think or feel about the product, and then tell me whether you think it successfully communicates those ideas or not.

2.  Tell me what emotions the ad attempts to create, and what kind of customer you think it is trying to reach.

Once you have posted your response, read the responses posted by your peers and reply thoughtfully to at least two other students.  Compliment strong points, make connections, ask questions and build on ideas shared!

  1. 1. I think that the advertisements is trying to not tell people about the car.. but to tell them about how crazy things could be and don't know where the day can take you. Till the end

    2.I also think that the people the ad is trying to get is people who like to party or have really busy days.

  3. 1. I think they are trying to get across that you can go anywhere and do anything. I kind of think they went a little over board with the question "what are we doing today?"
    2. I think they are trying to get it across to busy party people. I think the emotions are excited and fun.

  5. 1. I think that is trying to make you think that you want a new car. To me this commerical is very confusing because first it loooksey are trying to sell panckaes, then it looks like they are trying to sell you interments, then it looks like they are trying to sell a car that you can do anything with.
    2.I think that the ad is trying to make you feel the emtions happy that there is a new car that you can do anything with.I think that the customer should be wanting a new car.

  6. 1. Explain what you think the ad wants you to think or feel about the product, and then tell me whether you think it successfully communicates those ideas or not.
    A) I think that the commerical is trying to make you feel like the car is amazing and that you can go all those placs in one day and that it's a very fast car. :$ I think that the commerial is sort of sucessful but I also think that it's not really meant for a car ad.

    2. Tell me what emotions the ad attempts to create, and what kind of customer you think it is trying to reach.
    The emootions the ad wants to create are fun, exciting and creative. The car ad could be trying to reach a variety of different veiwers. This can attracted kids, with all the actions and excitment and get them to pursue their parents to get that car. This can also attract the parents because of the speed of the car. :$

  10. 1.I think that the ad wants to communicate the message of having fun. I think this message is communicated well, but I dont think it relates having fun to the product it is trying to sell (the car).

    2. I the emotions the ad is attemping to creat is the sense of fun and excitement. I think the costomers the ad is try to reach is parents who want to be cool, or young adults.

  11. 1. I think that the ad is trying to make you think that it is a great car because in the commercial everyone is having a great time when they are in the car. I think that the ad doesn't communicate it's message really good because i didn't know what the ad was about at first until i saw the family in the car and at the end when the voice said that thing about the new car.
    2. i think that the people who made the car/commercial want everyone to think that it's a great car and they want to make it look like it would change you and your life. i think it's meant for older teens, and adults.

  12. 1. i think this ad wants us to think what they are going to do today and they r going to a skate park or something. i dont think this produce will be successful on this ad because it doesnt seem like a car ad it never really has the car in it.
    2. the emotions that were expressed are they are happy and it seems they are happy to be in the car.this commercial would be for ages 30 and older.

  13. 1. i think this add wants everyone to think that it is an awesome car because in the comertial everyone in the family is having a great time. But i don't think that the comertial was very sucsesfull because i didn't know the add was for a car untill i saw the car and untill the end when the voice of the comertial talked about the car.
    2. I think that the people who made the comertial wanted to make it look like the car would make your life better. Also i think that the comertial is ment for adults and older teens because they are the ones who drive.

    #1.I think the ad is trying to advertise that the new Hyundai Santa-Fe is going to make your days very fun and enjoyable if you own it. I think that the message is very effective because they are having a lot of fun in the commercial.

  15. 1) I feel that this Hyundai commercial shows that with the new vehicle you can go places and have fun with your family. I also hink that that don't show the car enough for this commercial to be that effective.

    2) I think that the commercial shows alot of fun that kids would enjoy, like, having a band on your roof, or breaking an ostrich out of the zoo. But only adults can drive a vehicle and I don't think that this appeals to them, as much as it would to kids.

  16. 1.

  17. i think comercial is trying to say the car is a sporty car and it will get you anywhere you wanna go and do stuff you always wanted to do. i think it gets that point across because they go in a giant hamster ball and do other crazy stuff.
    2. the emotions it create are sporty and fun, i think it will reach fun people that live life to the fullest.

  21. I think that the ad is trying to tell us that if you buy this new car your family is going to always have a great time and all of your things that you want to do will be acheived. I think that it is again, trying to make us feel like we can do anything that we want with this car. I think that is family's ( parrents ) see this commerical ad that they will think that it is just another ad for some car commerical, but if a child veiws this I could see why they would want to buy this car because the commerical looks really cool and if the kid has this car they can do the same stuff as what they do in the commerical.
