Milk is a product most people are familiar with. It’s white, good for your health and came in gallons, people mostly think they know all there was to know about milk. Persuading someone to consume more of something they already know a lot about is not an easy job. The persuasion campaign "Got milk" is a famous campaign started in 1994, that’s purpose is to persuade people to consume more milk.

Starting from 1970s there was a clear decrease in the consumption of milk, due to the start up of the many soft drink companies. The decrease urges California’s largest milk processors to take action; funding a board that would be charged with creating advertising dedicated to selling milk. The processors decided to finance the California Milk Processor Board (CMPB). Each was to contribute three cents for every gallon of milk they processed. With the help of Goodby Silverstein & Partners, a campaign was created. Till today the agreement had allowed for a $23 million/year marketing budget.

Not only did the campaign successfully increase milk sales, it also caused a big influence in the marketing industry. The campaign was intentionally for the State but became worldwide in no time. The slogan “got milk?” became famous, thanks to the company’s marketing. The campaign has over 90% awareness in the US and the tag line has been licensed to dairy boards across the US since 1995 (gotmilk.com). The phrase “got milk” has been licensed on a range of consumer goods including Barbie dolls, baby and teen apparel, and kitchenware. The slogan is now use in all situation, changing the word milk to whatever suits their needs.

    Swift Kick in the Milk

    • 1546 Words

    Taylor Swift! Taylor Swift! Mom, look its Taylor Swift! I want a glass of milk like the one she has! Imagine hearing that as a teenager or preteen girl is flipping through a magazine. The milk industry has definitely evolved their marketing techniques over the last few years. In the 50’s, 60’s, and even in the 70’s, all you would see in a milk ad were secluded country farms with rolling green hills and tons of cows. Marketing and advertising of milk has greatly changed a lot over the years. The “Got Milk?” ad campaign uses various celebrities, cartoon characters, and superheroes all with big white mustaches to convince the masses to drink more milk. Each ad uses different methods, benefits, and features to reach out to a specific audience. The Swift pick ad caught my eye mainly because I can relate to teenage girls, and I love country music. This celebrity ad stood out to me in several ways. Swift pick shows Taylor Swift sporting a big white milk mustache to attract the attention of a teenage audience. The use of freedom of choice and good decision making in the text makes teenagers feel more in control of their own decision to drink milk versus unhealthy sugary beverages heavily advertised to teens. The ad could also have a psychologically disparate effect on teens who try to live up to the stereotype that you have to be skinny as a celebrity to be healthy.…

    According to Faigley and Selzer rhetorical analysis can be defined as “an effort to understand how people attempt to influence others through language and more broadly every kind of important symbolic action.” In other words rhetoric is a language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect on its audience in order for a goal to be met. The history of persuasion can be dated back to Ancient Greeks and Aristotle who were the first known to have studied logic and persuasion. These are techniques still heavily used in contemporary society today whether it be in every day conversation or in advertisements on television. All too often in contemporary American society companies use a group of appeals to persuade an audience. These very effective appeals are known as ethos, pathos and logos. Using these appeals, one can capture the audiences’ emotion all in an attempt to persuade an audience to buy into what they are saying and purchase a product. As a college athlete I find myself paying close attention to athletic commercials and advertisements. The example that will be used for this assignment will be the Nike advertisement “Strut”.…

    In conclusion, the “got milk?” campaign is a very persuasive work of advertisement. It uses Logos, Pathos, and Ethos in its persuasion very effectively to target its specific viewing audience. Although it does commit a few logical fallacies, it attempts to base itself more realistically than the majority of ads. The ad would do its job of persuading me to drink milk, or at least give up the habit of drinking sugary drinks, in order to be healthier and leaner. If anything, this ad persuades us to reevaluate our nutrition in order to be better human…

    The word rhetoric is widely thrown around by many different people in today’s age. Many people don’t understand the real context of the word, but that does not mean it is not any less common. Rhetoric is all around us, whether it is on television, in a paper, or, just in an advertisement. For most people, rhetoric is most widely seen during election season, especially during the Presidential election. Candidates rely heavily on rhetoric to get their ideas out there, showcase their list of credentials, and really paint themselves as the next President of the United States.

    The two ways humans gather information is by listening and reading. Visual rhetoric uses art and media to communicate with the viewer. Instead of seeing or hearing, the viewer looks at a piece of media, such as a poster, and the poster communicates to the viewer with little to no words. An example of this can be found in an ad in regards to gender inequality. An ad by the United Nations for gender equality shows connections with Shakespeare’s play Hamlet and several philosophers regarding trusting women, self-actualization, and autonomy.…
