Learning Target: I can recognize the difference between an advertising tagline and slogan.
What is a tag line and why is it important?
A tagline is a quick catchy phrase that puts a brand image in the minds of customers. Taglines are often next to the company’s logo on advertisements and are more dedicated to brand awareness. A tagline is used consistently for a company as a whole.
1. Apple
“Think different”
This tagline was first released in the Apple commercial called “Here’s to the Crazy Ones, Think Different” Soon after, the tagline accompanied Apple advertisements all over the place.
People began to understand that Apple was not just any old computer.

2. L’Oréal
“Because you’re worth it”
The tagline is not about the product, but about the image, the product can get you: You will feel beautiful, desirable, wanted and most of all, worth it.

3. McDonald’s
“I’m loving it”
This campaign tagline was launched in 2003 and still stands strong to this day. McDonald’s food might not be your healthiest choice, but being healthy isn’t the benefit McDonald’s is promising — it’s that you’ll love the taste and the convenience.

What is a slogan and why is it important?
Slogans are often used for one product or one campaign. A slogan may change regularly according to campaigns to advertise a specific aspect of a product or service, while a company tagline is used consistently for a company as a whole. Slogans carry a brand’s values and are more like an overarching company tagline.
1. M&M
“Melts in Your Mouth, Not in Your Hands”
M&M did not need much time to define its core value proposition. How can one piece of chocolate stand out from another? By bringing in the convenience factor. M&M is a great example of defining what makes you different from competitors.

2. Meow Mix
“Tastes So Good, Cats Ask for It by Name”
Meow Mix released a simple but selling slogan, the slogan plays off the fact that every time a cat meows they are actually asking for their favorite food, Meow Mix.
