Abstract

Advertisements serve to market a brand, beyond just the products themselves. One way to achieve this is by incorporating elements designed to capture the audience's attention. This study analyzes the use of such elements in an advertisement for Dabur Amla—a hair oil brand—which was featured on the "Dabur Amla Arabia" YouTube channel in 2017. The analysis focuses on the representation of a child within the advertisement, who serves as an object for marketing the product. This research employs Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic analysis to interpret the meanings of symbols present in the Dabur Amla advertisement. According to Peirce, semiotics consists of three core components—the sign, the object, and the interpretant—collectively known as the "semiotic triangle." The signs identified within the visuals are classified into icons, indices, and symbols. A qualitative research method is utilized, aiming to provide an in-depth exploration of the phenomenon through comprehensive data collection. The findings reveal the underlying meaning of the Dabur Amla hair oil advertisement: the child is represented as someone deserving of care and affection. The child featured in the ad appears cheerful after using the hair oil, a portrayal that reinforces the specific image of a child as constructed by the Dabur Amla brand. Iklan memiliki fungsi untuk memasarkan merek selain produknya. Salah satu caranya dengan menghadirkan objek yang dapat menarik perhatian. Dalam penelitian ini, iklan yang akan dianalisis terkait kehadiran objek tersebut adalah iklan Dabur Amla, yaitu iklan produk minyak rambut asal Mesir yang ditayangkan di chanel youtube Dabur Amla Arabia pada tahun 2017. Analisis berfokus pada representasi anak di dalam iklan yang dijadikan objek untuk memasarkan produk. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis semiotika dari Charles Sanders Peirce untuk menerjemahkan makna simbol dalam iklan Dabur Amla. Menurut Peirce, semiotika terdiri dari tiga unsur utama yang disebut teori makna segitiga (tanda, objek, dan interpretan). Tanda-tanda yang terdapat pada gambar di diklasifikasikan ke dalam ikon, indeks, dan simbol. Metode yang digunakan dalam artikel ini ialah kualitatif. Penelitian kualitatif bertujuan untuk menjelaskan fenomena tersebut secara mendalam, melalui pengumpulan data yang mendalam. Hasil yang bisa diambil dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui makna dibalik iklan minyak rambut Dabur Amla bahwa objek anak-anak direpresentasikan sebagai orang yang harus di perhatikan dan disayangi. Anak yang ditampilkan dalam iklan ini digambarkan ceria setelah memakai minyak rambut tersebut, sehingga memperkuat citra anak juga yang dibangun oleh Dabur Amla.

Abstract

The rise of negative news involving Indonesian National Army members has caused a decline in the image of the TNI. One of the issues that is of concern to the community today is the bad actions carried out by unscrupulous members of the Indonesian National Army in various regions. The use of the Instagram social media platform by the Indonesian National Army Information Centre is considered an effort to improve the image of Indonesian National Army agencies. The purpose of this study is to understand how Indonesian National Army Information Centre identifies specific problems or challenges in its efforts to build and maintain a positive image of the Indonesian National Army on Instagram. The research method used was qualitative, involving three people from the internal Indonesian National Army Information Centre in the field of Information and Internet, one lecturer who is an expert in the field of public relations, and three followers of the Indonesian National Army Information Centre’s Instagram account as external informants, two of whom is Indonesian National Army Information Centre’s staff. The results showed that the Indonesian National Army Information Centre had followed several stages proposed by Cutlip, Centre and Broom. However, in terms of activities on social media, especially Instagram, it still needs to be improved because the content is considered less varied and the way the Indonesian National Army conveys information and interacts with the public on Instagram still seems rigid.
