ADVERTISEMENT RHETORIC

AMERICAN BEAUTY by the GRATEFUL DEAD promo ad






AMERICAN BEAUTY PROMO AD=-- This is an ad that is definitely effective for its primary audience of deadheads, like myself.  The makeup of this ad may not be universally appealing to all audiences, but is very much so for deadheads or people that are familiar with the group.  There are some references in which only big fans would get, but it also uses a humorous tone in order to hopefully appeal to other listeners as well.  Overall it is a very unique type of commercial that would likely stick out to whoever’s listening, which is exactly what advertisers aim for.  Therefor it is my opinion that this is a very effective advertisement.  The album American Beauty has reached double platinum, so obviously there is a great deal of album popularity either way.
