Competitive Analysis




Product: REVLON: Colorburst Lip Butter

Slogan: Kiss your problems away !

“The brand idea is based on an insight into the audience that makes the brand relevant to them. It must exemplify something—tangible or intangible—that people find compellingly relevant to their lives.”
-TEXT BOOK

This product that appears as a lipstick is what we call "Lip Butter". The reason it was given this name is because it makes your lips feel unbelievably smooth. It works just like lip balm if not better and it even has a vibrant tint added to it.

 
“If you're trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language, the language they use every day, the language in which they think. We try to write in the vernacular”
-TEXT BOOK
 
 

Competitors:

MAYBELLINE: Baby Lips - This product is advertised as a tinted lip balm to add color to your lips and make them baby-soft. I have tried this product and the softness doesn't last at all and the color is barely noticeable.

L'OREAL: Colour Riche Balm - The consistency and feel of this balm was too sticky and uncomfortable. It had great color but it didn't feel like a balm at all.

Overall REVLON Colorburst is doing better than it's competitors. I will promote this product using it's benefits compared to the other two. This will show why this product is a better choice and why it will let you kiss your problems away.

“The key to coming up with a great ad is finding that one clear, concise, engaging idea. This holds true for all advertising mediums: print, radio, TV, outdoor, etc.,”

EOC: The Best Super Bowl Commercial

Pepsi Super Bowl Commercial 2004

This commercial is my favorite of all time because it is memorable, effective, & entertaining.
Pepsi chose the three most attractive & well-known female singers during that year & put them together in a creative commercial.

The scenario was an old-age fight between gladiators which were Britney Spears, Pink, & Beyonce. They were all dressed in tough & incredibly sexy outfits that would attract men & inspire women. Instead of fighting each other to death like expected, the three ladies all put their weapons down & sang "We will rock you." in harmony. The power of their voices managed to be strong enough to knock the king's case of Pepsi over so that they could all each have one & give some away to the people.

It was a very entertaining music video, obviously a lot was put into it. I love how it showed the power of women, persuasion to buy the product, & all in a setting that would appeal to men. It reached out to a huge demographic & they kept the product visible. The purpose of the commercial was to portray Pepsi as something so valuable that people would fight for it & claim it as a prize.

EOC: Role of Women



Women are known to be the purchaser of products, especially for items like groceries & things needed around the house. Although the man is the ideal provider, most commercials are targeted to woman for they are the ones most likely to visit the store. This Pepsi ad shows three of the most known & adored female celebrities at the time. They were dressed in sexy pieces to give off an effect of them being gladiators. The commercial shows that they are drinking Pepsi & that this drink makes them the sexy, powerful, & unbreakable women that they are.

A woman who see's this commercial will admire or even envy it's endorsers, they will wan't to buy the product because they want to be that women that these ladies represent. Women have always been known to have a nurturing, seductive, & attractiveness about them that convinces you or persuades you.

Time & again women have been undervalued when places beside a man. Today, women have achieved equality & have proven their worth. They have also shown power & made it known that they can make their own decisions.

A women can easily persuade other women & men, they are powerful.
