The Advertisements of Mercedes Cars
Coca-cola, Nike, Mercedes, and Levi's... all of them are well known companies. The question that anyone can ask is that « why are all these companies popular? » the answer can differ from one to another, but the best one in my opinion is the use of advertising.

Using this ad, the advertisers can attract men to buy this product because it contains what men in general like in cars of hardness and power. From the analysis of those two ads, I can generalize that the first difference between the advertisements of the same
