YouTube which is a free online sharing website has been used by advertisersas their top choice to execute their marketing strategies. Marketing managers need to advertise their products with charming persuasive strategies and incorporate appeals that connect to audiencesto persuade the audiences’ purchase decisions. The main purpose of this study is to analyse Aristotle’s Persuasive Techniques used in Malaysian YouTube video advertisements from a cultural perspective. This study adopted a qualitative approach involving data samples from three video advertisements from different brands selected from their official YouTube channel. Data is analysed using content analysis from a cultural perspective, with Aristotle’s persuasive appeals as the foundation. The findings showed each advertisement employs persuasive strategies to engage its audiences. These findings are hoped to offer a better understanding of the use of persuasive strategies and to prove that culture is also an appeal that can be incorporated into persuasive strategies to successfully deliver intended messages to the audiences.
