Chrysler's success story: advertising as anecdotes
Article Abstract:
Chrysler Corp extensively used anecdotes to advertise their products from 1979 to 1982. These advertising concepts reiterated Chrysler's primary messages to Americans on work ethic, corporate dependability and stability and desire to help the country. Lee Iacocca's leadership of the company was instrumental to this thematic use of anecdotes, lending his own authority figure to the credibility of the advertisements. Analysis of the advertisements that appeared both in broadcast and print showed a difference in thematic use between the media.
