Blog#9: The Advertising and the catch copy


Hello, this is Masako Miyahara. It was slightly cold today. Now, I'm going to introduce an advertising that is one of the most impressive advertising for me, and the importance of the catch copy. As you know, the advertising is the common way to tell people the noteworthy things such as the new products, the latest information, or the convenient service. The advertisings are well constructed by using colorful picture, good designed letter, or attractive catch copy. I think the catch copy is the most important element for them. Do you know the catch copy  "キリンさんが好きです、でもゾウさんの方がもっと好きです"in English," I like the giraffe, but I like the elephant better"? I hadn't known that what kind of the advertising it is because I was child when I had seen it, but its impressive catch copy didn’t to be separated from my head. I used to imitate the girl, and the company's commercial song. There are many kinds of advertising, and each of them has a good cache copy. If there is no catch copy in the advertising, it cannot tell people that what the most important information of it is. According to the advertisement production company, the catch copy is made by one foundation called the principle of AIDA. AIDA means attention, interest, desire, and action. The catch copy becomes the strongest tool as "an opportunity" to get the heart of people by using the principle of AIDA. We don't pay attention to the importance of the catch copy, but it's so interesting to think of it, isn't it? If you have a favorite advertising or catch copy, please tell me.

  1. Hi, I'm Tomoko. I like this CM. When I saw the CM for the first time, I didn't understand what the CM is, but the end of the CM, I knew the meaning of this CM. I think it is very interesting CM. But I don't see the CM recently.

  2. Hi, I'm Akari. It is an impressive CM for me because the child was very cute and her lines were unique and impressive. I think the CM plants the image of an elephant speaking of the Matsumoto moving center in our mind.

  3. Hi, this is Ms. MacGregor. Catch copy is wasei eigo. The English term is slogan.
    I checked the reference link and found the slogan for hitachi - inspire the next. I think it is a really good one.
    And of course everyone knows Tower Records' slogan (no music no life) and McDonald's slogan (I'm lovin' it).
    The principle of AIDA is interesting. Thank you for introducing it!
