Soft-N-Dry "Strong and Beautiful" Campaign


Is it clear which is strong and which is beautiful-the truck or the model?
The reading talks about the ad Soft-N-Dri “Strong and Beautiful” campaign. Instead of describing the ad to the reader, we are given questions to ponder about the ad given. The girl in the ad wears pink and seems to be very girly while standing in front of a semi-truck, appearing beautiful. The ad wants to address the point that the girl is beautiful and the truck is strong. But the ad also wants to identify the blonde white women as being strong. The whole idea of the ad is to advertise the “Strong and Beautiful” campaign, therefore, the women is strong and beautiful while the truck is just strong. The ad is for a deodorant company so they want women to feel strong and beautiful when they wear their product; this is where the truck (strong) and the attractive white women (beautiful) are apart of the ad.
