1. It was said by
Michele Levine (2003) that to have a
successful brand you have to create
emotional links with your consumers.

2. Storyboard

3. An attractive young woman aged between 24-28 wearing a knee length
tight black dress is standing over a bathroom sink applying eyeliner. She
puts the pencil down and pucks her lips together examining her appearance.
She lightly sprays the substance on her neck and wrists.

4. Suddenly feeling energised, she grabs the door frame and swings herself out
of the bathroom into the bedroom. She glides through her apartment, grabs
her bag off the kitchen counter and fly's out the door.

5. Standing by the elevator she taps her foot impatiently. Rather then wait for
the elevator, she walks over to the window and pulls it open. Stepping out
onto the fire escape, she swings her legs around a pole gracefully sliding
down to the ground floor.

6. Dropping gracefully to the ground at the main door to her building,
she fluffs her effortlessly perfect hair and whistles the signal for a
cab. Instantly a cab pulls into the curb.

7. In the following scene she is in warehouse full of male models,
strapped in a harness flying through the air, snapping photos.

8. In the scene after that we see her on the floor of the warehouse,
examining the photos she took on a laptop. Noticing one of the
models checking her out, she turns an smiles at him flirtatiously.

9. As the models are leaving she jogs over to them, grabbing the hand
of the model she smiled at her. She whispers “pleasure working with
you”, confidently winks at him, and then returns back to her laptop.
The model looks down at his hand to the note she slipped into his
palm revealing her phone number.

10. In the next shot she is opening the door to her apartment. She flicks
on the light, illuminating the dark room, indicating its night time.
Placing her bag on the kitchen counter, and kicking off her shoes she
walks into her bathroom.

11. In the bathroom her voiceover whispers, “it’s beauty, it’s love, it’s
confidence” as she steps out of her dress and into the shower. The
camera tilts up to see the shadow of her in the shower, before
panning across to the bottle of perfume still on the counter. The girl
then utters, “It’s invincible”.

12. Brand Concept
• Gives woman the ability to perform everyday tasks
with passion, enthusiasm and confidence.
• The name “Invincible” depicts a sense of eternal
youth, strength and confidence.
• The open cylinder, diamonds and transparent silver
tint to the glass itself, reiterates the brand concept by
symbolising eternity.
•

13. Target Market
• Young woman between the ages of 18 and 30.
• With woman becoming exceedingly present in the
Australian workforce, their desire to possess
confidence is heightened.
• By playing on the emotions of young Australia
woman, the advertisement captures the target
audiences attention, and implants the fantasy that
Invincible perfume will give you the confidence to
live up to their potential.

14. Frames
Stephen Harrington defines extratextual knowledge as the
material the audience brings to the act of interpretation.
• By avoiding stereotypes it has extratextually framed
the ad and allowed consumers to relate to the main
character.
• The stereotype of men initiating romantic advances is
broken in the scene where the main character gives
the male model her phone number.
• The storyline of the advertisement follows the same
plot of a romantic genre film, which is another
aspect that captures the target audiences attention.

15. Signs
• Icons, Index's and Convention Signs
• Wink, seen when the woman is giving the man
her phone number is a prime example of an
icon.
• When the taxi arrives immediately it can be
shown as an example of an index.

16. By using framing, signs and an effective
branding concept, the advertisement for
Invincible perfume successfully
communicates our intended meaning.
