LUCOZADE
Lucozade was originally owned by a British pharmaceutical company
owned by multi national conglomerate GalxoSmiothkline, sold to Japanese company Suntory
was originally branded as a medical drink to help with sickness in the 70s but later changed to accompany the rave scene in the 80s and later a sports drink.
the 'I believe' campaign was a £4 million pound digital marketing campaign including many famous sports aesthetes like Gareth bale and Oxlade chamberlain calming to drink to be 'better than water' and the perfect drink for a sports athlete, resulting in them changing their slogan to 'in a different league' which coin-sided with Gareth bales £80 Million move to La Liga team Real Madrid
Media Language and representation
product placement in the right hand corner using the 'rule of thirds' having the brand be represented as a solution
high key lighting creates an upbeat mode of address with the blue and yellow color palette matching the brands packaging with connotations of masculinity
Anchoring text 'in a different league' has a double meaning as at the time bale was in the process of moving to Real Madrid, meaning he was literally playing in a different league
Bale is using direct address staring seriously at the viewer as to almost challenge the viewer who will most likely be male.
