What do you call a propaganda technique that uses images that make audiences laugh or smile, but provides little information about the product or service?

Uses symbols, quotes, or images to convey a message not necessarily associated with them. The propagandist attempts to persuade us through the indirect use of something we know and respect to promote his/her ideas.

For example: The Nike “swoosh” is a commonly used and easily recognizable symbol of excellence. Most people don’t even know that the symbol represents the wing of the Greek goddess Nike, the goddess of victory. 

This technique is the opposite of the glittering generalities approach in that instead of being vague, the propagandist is very specific. Directly ties a specific person or cause to a largely perceived negative image.

For example: When Mitt Romney was running for president, Newsweek Magazine had his picture on the cover with the title “Wimp Factor” and the subtitle “Is he just too insecure to be President?” 

This technique is very popular among big corporations and political parties. The idea is to present a dreaded circumstance, and usually follow it up with the kind of behavior needed to avoid that horrible event.

For example: Allstate Insurance commercials show images of destruction taking place in peoples’ homes or on their property. The idea that “mayhem” can strike any time and any place illustrates the importance of having insurance “just in case.”

Technique of repeating a name, number, slogan, or product over and

over so people will remember it.

For example: Many infomercials repeat a brand name or a

1-800 number over and over so people will remember it and call.
