All of the music companies are vying for Mike’s money and intrigue. Therefore they all look to impress. These two ads both have similar structure, with speakers stacked upon each other, showing a hierarchy to appear popular or on the rise.

Mike is a young bachelor who often wears cologne when he goes out. He is programmed to feel like these men when he wears the cologne, proving himself as a ‘manly’ man or ‘macho’ man.

The alcohol ads employ appeals to the need for prominence. Viewers like Mike are attracted to the reputation of the moonshine ad, as the company survived through prohibition, and the name ‘platinum’ for the Bud Light ad.
