Apple TV

Apple’s advertisement from Summer 2013 was purposed to get people to relate. It was made to help reach a broad target market and make it so they felt connected in some way to Apple. It shows the Apple products being used in different areas of people’s lives and how Apple wants to touch their lives. It has the softer monologue and a bit louder piano music. It has videos of daily living and people being together. It has the right feel that everyone is somehow feeling the commercial is to just them. Apple did well in making this commercial relatable to consumers. They are trying to get more consumers to buy into their brand and become a part of the Apple family. This commercial was mainly for the Apple TV and saying that it is to the same standards and expectations of all the rest of their products. It was showing how the products that Apple has sold recently have impacted lives in many ways, some even bringing people together. This is to show how the brand fits into each person’s life and makes it a better place. As a brand they are trying to make a connection and a loyalty to them.
            One thing they may be missing in this commercial is a selling point. They are showing how Apple relates to the consumer, but if it truly is for the TV it is missing more about that. They either could have shown more videos of families watching shows on the TV, like just a couple, or had some explanation of when it was coming out, where, etc. They also could have changed the commercial up a little and made it more about why people should buy the product, and what features this TV has to set it apart and add that value. I personally did not even realize the commercial was for a TV for the first couple times I saw it. This may boost the company in general as far as consumers feeling that they can relate to the company, and even possibly staying loyal to the company, but most likely not increase TV sales as much as they may have hoped. I do think it is a good advertisement just not completely for the reasons it was originally planned for.
