A Semiotic Analysis of Femvertising Advertisements in Sports Marketing

Abstract

In the sports industry and sports media, femvertising advertisements, which move women away from their traditional image and position women in a powerful position through successful female athletes, are frequently encountered in the promotion of sports products. In addition to the advertisements related to the marketing of sports products, female athletes have started to appear frequently as the face of advertisements in the promotion and advertisement of brands belonging to other sectors. The socially powerful image of women has become an important message given through female athletes in these advertisements. This study aims to analyze femvertising advertisements used in the sports industry. The main starting point of the study is how the female image is defined in advertisements in the sports industry and the femvertising elements in the messages given by these definitions. In the study, the semiotic method was used to analyze the femvertising messages in a sports product advertisement through a sample commercial film. In this analysis; the codes, metaphors, connotations and denotations implicit in the work are addressed, analyzed and interpreted through signs. In the analyzed commercial, both social masculine stereotypes in sports and femvertising language elements used against masculine stereotypes were found. Throughout the film, elements criticizing masculine language are presented together with elements emphasizing the power of women. It is possible to see themes such as gender equality, women's presence and success in sports against the implicit expressions attributed to women in the context of gender. In this sense, it can be said that brands that feature female athletes and position female athletes correctly in advertisements are fulfilling a social responsibility.
