Shock tactic adverts

An example of a shock tactic advert is with NHS smoke free. In the ad, they use a graphic picture which is meant to imitate what happens to your blood when you smoke. The tagline of the ad is "Everytime you smoke, your blood gets thick and dirty with toxins". This is a very good use of shock  tactic as it will make people who smoke second guess about putting a cigarette in their mouth.

Another advert with shock factor is Barnardo. In the advert, the man is talking to someone in the point of view of the viewer. Later in the ad, as the man begins to "flashback" to his timeline from an adult to child where he had difficulties being from a foster home. This is a very good use of shock tactic as it may allow people to relate to the struggles of having to move from different foster homes in his life.

As Virgin is meant to be fibre optic and fibre optic is meant to be fast, the use of Usain Bolt correlates well with the ad as it makes potential customers believe that virgin media runs fast and smoothly just like Usain Bolt himself.

another example of an elite person featuring in an advert is from Pepsi when partnering with Kendall Jenner. the advert was about people attempting to rebel against the police by holding a protest in the middle of the street. on one side there are protesters while on the other, are a line of guards with batons in a straight line. Kendall Jenner then walks from the protesters to the police. she then hands a pepsi can to the officer and as he accepts and drinks it, the crowd cheers.
