  1. Hi Huong,
    First of all, I'd like to say that i am really interested in all the items you have chosen. They all funny and effective to my perspective. And I almost agree with your frameworks, but just some of my opinions which I hope helped are that:
    As for your first item, about Vinamilk advertisement, the context was around 2008, when there was a wave of Melamine invasion to Vietnamese milk market. And everybody was very worried about that because Melamine is considered as a kind of poisons. Then, Vinamilk took advantage of this circumstance to claim their milk purity. And it really worked. You can make references when following this link: http://luanvan.net.vn/luan-van/de-tai-ke-hoach-marketing-san-pham-sua-tuoi-100-nguyen-chat-tiet-trung-vinamilk-9579/
    Besides, I think the objective of this advertisement is Affective, not Position brand. I'm quite confused about the objective you have written. Would you mind explaining in detail for this?
    One more thing about this advertisement is that in my opinion, "happy" is also a customer benefit we can se in this clip.
    About your 2nd item, firstly, I also want to add the context for you. It was produced in 2012. You can make it clearer based on this link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/30/carlton-draught-beer-chase-ad-best-beer-commercial_n_1843888.html

    Secondly, I don't see eye to eye with you in the opinion that we can realize the purity of Carlton Draught Beer just based on this advertisement. In addition, through the story as well as the song used in the video, we can add Self-fulfillment to Personal Value because of the idea that nothing can separate a man from his beer.
    Thirdly, the objective is affective, too.
    Thanks for your reading this comment! I hope it help!
    Best,
    Nguyen Thi Nguyet.

  2. Hello Hương,
    I'm Tung. I have some similar ideas with Nguyet in all three ads. However, I want to say more about personal value in 3rd item. Can u tell me why there are "Comfortable life" and "Pleasure". I do not agree with 100%. Anyway, your choices are so interesting and I hope that you will keep it up next time.
    I would be very happy if my comments can help you.
    Best regards.

    dear Huong,
    here are some of my comments on your entry 2
    in general, your items is quite effective and funny. however, i still have some disagreement with your framework
    firstly, you have mistake when saying about the objectives of 3 items, you must say it is effective(something like that) or not.
    secondly, i am still not able to get the message of your item 3 "Virgin Atlantic Airline" from your framework. the poster doesn't mention to the speech of any flight as you said in product attributes and customer benefit. and i do not think it is impressive.
    lastly, in item 2, you should bonus the rhetorical overstatement device.
    hope you will be better in the next entry :)

  4. Dear Huong,
    After reading all your entry, i can't deny that you did a good job! Nearly all the items are analyzed in good way. However, there are still something incorrect here, i think.
    -Item 1: In my opinion, the objectives of this advertisement is "effective", not " position brands"
    -Item 3: I think what the picture expresses here can't show anything about its speech of flights.
    Anyway, well-done, girl! Keep trying and thanks for reading this!
