Clorox Case Study Social Media
Analysis: I think this campaign was a very creative and innovative approach for a household cleaning supply company to take. The problem Clorox was facing was that it had a connotation of being a bleach product that only old people used. Since the company was losing its appeal towards younger parents, the overall goal of the campaign was to demonstrate that the least time consuming solution for modern day messes was Clorox. Research showed that parents are heavily influenced on recommendations made by fellow friends on social media (ANVIL). The research also showed that parents use social media to not only vent but also boast about their epic kid-made messy stories. Because of this Clorox decided to use Twitter as its main online platform for the campaign. This allowed for two-way communication through uncontrolled media as well as audience participation with the submission of …show more content…
The first objective focused on turning the thought of “boring household cleaning” into a fun topic that could be used in social media. The second objective aimed at shifting “mess” from a negative perception to a fun and positive one. The goal of the third objective was to brand Clorox in social media and other media coverage through shareable content. All of these objectives were impacts, however the first two were attitudinal and the last was informational. The theme of Ick Awards was based off the Clorox Ick-tionary, which had been launched a year prior in 2013 (NEWS). The original online forum was a huge success because parents enjoyed creating and submitting funny terms for the messes they had encountered. The Ick Awards was a good piggy-back campaign to launch because it also allowed for open submission of creative names as well as stories to accompany them. The slogan for the Ick Awards was “improvise through the mess,” which coincided with the entire internet award show being

    Analyzing The Ick Argument 'Improvise'

    “Improvise” was a verbal cue used in the slogan that related to the Ick Awards because the entire event was improvised. In my opinion, “laugh” would have been a better word choice for the slogan. Laughing ties back directly to the key messages of the campaign. Clorox wanted its audience of modern parents to laugh instead of stress over messes. The Ick Award show achieved the goal of making parents laugh because it was unexpected and funny. However, I personally think “laugh” would have created more of an emotional tie from within the…

    Old Spice Rhetorical Analysis Essay

    One of the rhetorical appeals used quite frequently is Pathos. Pathos is the way the author or in this case Old Spice tries to play with our emotions. The most obvious emotion in this commercial is humor. For example, the way the crazy-stalker mom is following her son around everywhere by riding in a laundry basket attached to her son’s car, highly unlikely but very entertaining and quite funny. People love anything that makes them laugh and Old Spice definitely played that up when those depressed mothers were wailing about their sons leaving them behind and growing up by going out with girls and leaving their chores behind. Another thing that is used as pathos is how relatable it can be for those overbearing mothers and their sons. Some men must see this commercial and think back to when they were teenagers who just wanted to get away and grow up, and even those boys that are currently going through this with their own mothers. Even I am sucked in to all the hype that is Old Spice, and I could just imagine what my seven year old brother with have to go through with my mom. Yikes!…

    Sexy Liquid Plumr Quickie Analysis

    Every girl has had a fantasy of a hunky man. Why not manipulate that fantasy to promote your product? Clorox goes beyond expectations with their commercial and can be considered disrespectful and demeaning to some women. The “Sexy Liquid-Plumr Quickie” add might be inappropriate for TV but it keeps the viewers watching. It achieves its intended aim by using sexual puns and hunky men to target women while promoting their product at the same time.…

    Analysis Essay On Clorox Bleach Ads

    Am I saying that Clorox is wrong for mainly using a woman as the model for their ads? Absolutely not! For the most part even though times have changed the woman is the primary caregiver of the home. They are doing great advertising my marketing to an audience they know is going to buy their products. How you may ask? By making the woman in the house feel that not only is she keeping her family happy and healthy, but empowering herself by saying “I do have the power to clean…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of State Farm

    The commercial follows a man, that slowly amassed a following of those that need help. The way I view the commercial, is the man isn’t being followed by an actual group of people but is being haunted by the thoughts of those in need. The commercial relies heavily on pathos, ethos, and logos; the use of melancholy music sets the tone of the whole commercial. Putting all this together, allows the viewer to realize what a difference one person can make if they see someone in need of help. This commercial was made to show the various issues in the world.…

    Is Walmart Good For America

    One business that did not realize the power of social media was a KFC-Taco Bell restaurant that had developed a rat infestation. The most popular video covering the KFC-Taco Bell incident on YouTube received 2,644 responses and two video responses and this video sparked comments such as “No more KFC for me” and “when a business allows for such rodents to run freely, the message to us consumers is consumers come last” (3). This media crisis could have been handled better if KFC-Taco Bell had utilized social media early to clarify the incident and slow down the viral video spread. Therefore, media and especially social media is crucial for these businesses plagued with bad publicity to help overcome these stories and help regain their reputation and trust from society. This may be easier for bigger organizations rather than smaller organizations, because it is easier for bigger organizations to get their message out and society can more easily relate to previous positive perspectives they may have had with the firm. Therefore, it is crucial for businesses to be on top of media to help…

This will assist DDI in moving past the introduction stage, and into the growth stage by establishing a strong and emergent customer base.

    Through social media, Foley wants to increase UnME Jeans sales by encouraging dialogue about the brand among consumers. Foley’s advertising agency presented her with options for three social media outlets – Zwinktopia, Facebook and YouTube. Consumer engagement is at the heart of Web 2.0 market strategy and several different types of metrics can measure the amount of brand awareness: Zwinktopia Amount of time spent at UnME site Number of times the same visitor returns UnME store Number of times the visitor engages with UnME products Facebook Number of active fans of UnME page Number of likes for UnMe page Number of times page has been shared with other users Number of mentions on user wall posts Number of comments on UnME page YouTube Number of fans for video Average viewer rating Number of times video has been shared Number of comments on video Foley can use the metrics listed above as a way to determine the effectiveness of the media. These metrics are tangible and measurable numbers that can be used to understand consumer behavior. For example, UnME Jeans can measure if the transaction was via Zwinktopia and Facebook, if consumers who purchase the jeans learned of the company through social media, and conversion and retention ratios can be measured, and so on. Foley should stay away from traditional metrics. In the past, advertisers have overloaded consumers with messaging that “talks to” them. Considering that consumers see…

    Violate Social Norms

    Throughout a typical day, almost everyone is exposed to the media somehow. Although many are exposed to media messages everyday, not many are aware of the different functions that these messages serve. A message from the media can either socialize, enforce social norms, confer status, or promote consumption. After recording a tally of each media message I received in a day and categorizing them based upon their function, I came to the conclusion that I am exposed to each of these types of media messages everyday. However, the most common media message were the ones which promoted the consumption of products. Although one media message function showed up more than the others, each mass media function has played a role in what I know and how…

    1. Buzz advertising can be used to target audiences within specific groups who, because of shared values and beliefs, can influence and exert social dominance of its followers. Buzz advertising can enlist brand spokespersons to spread the word about products and services such as weight watchers enlisting Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Hudson, Charles Barkley, and a slew of celebrities to entice customers into brand followers and leaders. Online social networking has become the harness for marketers to use to pass along company-developed products and services or audio, video, or written information to other online users (Kotler & Keller, 2012). Buzz advertising depend on word of mouth and the willingness of a demographic to proxy s/he with a particular social environment. One of the dangers of buzz advertising is when opinion leaders and spokesperson exhibit behavior not beneficial to the organization brand equity. For examples, Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods infidelity scandals, Charlie Sheen’s repeated alcohol incidents, and in the recent new front, Facebook social media use by companies to vest and/or investigate the characteristic and integrity of applicants.…

    Speech to Inform: Twitter

    Interestingly enough, some are still completely unaware of this new form of communication that is linking the entire world into the same conversation. With over 11 million users worldwide, me included, Twitter is a rapidly growing micro blogging social network. In the time it takes to order a latte from Starbucks, followers (people who “friend” one or more twitter account) can get updated on what their brother ate had for breakfast that morning, John Mayer making a joke about how his laptop is so hot he could make a Panini in it, and the morning’s latest news from everyone’s favorite silver hared newscaster Anderson Cooper. This mix creates a brand new media experience unlike anything else, the intimate input of friends and family blended with a little celebrity obsession. “In short, [Time Magazine insists that] the…
