56 Macho Marketing Techniques

From Powerful Pale Ale Promotions to Macho Meat Campaigns

— October 18, 2013 — Marketing
Ads and commercials are a great way for businesses and retailers to reach their market audience, and these macho marketing techniques are clever examples of how utilizing rugged and manly references can indeed attract a male demographic.

While some advertising agencies prefer to market products and services on a larger scale, allowing people of all ages and sexes to enjoy the ad, these macho marketing techniques are specifically catering to males by using stereotypical masculine references. Incorporating such aspects and themes as male bonding, working out, outdoor behavior and essentially a love for drinking, these marketing techniques are able to easily connect with male audiences who can relate to these circumstances.

From retro action hero ads to manly car creation ads, these macho marketing techniques will surely have men of any age glued to their screens.
