lends the advertising a [more] masculine appeal
Explanation:
OR:

lends the advertistising a [more] masculine cast

Seems more natural wording than than the other suggestions offered thus far. "Situations" does not work at all in the translation: forget about it!

Suerte.

I don't think "qualities" works here. Perhaps "tone"or "feel" though.........

makes everything/context/all situations masculine


Explanation:
Hi,

It could also be "makes it more masculine".

I guess you were looking for a single word, but there isn't, sorry.

I hope it helped,

masculinizing situations/context


Explanation:
I would use the same term - sounds just as "marketing-jargon" as in Spanish.

Merrian Webster:
Entry: mas·cu·lin·ize
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): mas·cu·lin·ized; mas·cu·lin·iz·ing
Date: 1858
: to give a chiefly masculine character to; especially : to cause (a female) to take on male characteristics
