If there is one thing that will really help you get our political aspirations towards better heights, television advertising is a best bet to get the job done. Not all people can afford television advertising due to the cost of having one. Secondly, it is not merely a matter of producing the ad itself. It also includes being able to get the desired time slot that will surely be hitting the proper voters who will know that you are running for public office.
Such is an issue that many call as dirty but advantageous. But if you have the funds to support your ad campaign and likewise avoiding any potential discrepancies on election requirements, then by all means use advertising to boost your political campaign!
Federal rules requiring candidates to have access to similar television audiences forced stations to bump some advertising from their traditional clients. In some cases, it was purchased months in advance and in a highly sought-after spot.

Posters are known to have their share of gaining attention and with the matter of prostitution placed on the table, it should not be surprising if some sectors would become wary of this growing pain and deprivation for the younger kids of today.
Prostitution is something that many despise. Some people even go around the bush in trying to avoid this delicate issue that usually burdens the youth. It is apparent that prostitution is something that society can do well without. All it really needs is proper awareness and orientation so that people will not forget its impact on society today.
Mr Coaker added: “These women are being treated as commodities and are sold, controlled and exploited by others for a profit. This is totally unacceptable.
“The advertising campaign we are launching today should help draw attention to the plight these women face and make men think again about what they are doing.”

Contract disputes can be a pain especially for chosen endorsers and in this case, actress Uma Thurman sued Lancome regarding an advertising dispute. Apparently, the French cosmetic giant has made quite a profit from using her name and likeness despite the lapse of the contract between the two.
Many people would care less if such a boom would be evident. But in this case, Lancome continues its advertising ways despite the end of the contract with Thurman which the latter resented. In the world of showbiz, you have to honor your contract. If not, expect heads to roll. Such is a familiar face in the world of advertising and promotions.
The “Kill Bill” star said in her lawsuit that Lancome Parfums et Beaute & Cie boosted its worldwide sales and enhanced its “prestige, stature and bargaining power” by helping retailers and others use her name and likeness in advertising and promotions after her contract expired.
The suit seeks $15 million in damages.

Go to the The TIME 100 special issue to see the series of special issue covers designed for TIME by a handful of acclaimed graphic designers, and a few jammy junior creatives at Euro RSCG New York. Who said that juniors never get to do anything fun?
Euro RSCG was the lone ad agency involved in this project, which also includes cover designs by Neville Brody, Chip Kidd and James Victore. So what did Euro do? Cut horizontal stripes of the faces of each of the top 100 people profiled by TIME this year and put them back together again. Cute.
Kudos to the kids at Euro: Ben Thoma, Katie Anne Naylon, Patrik Bolocek. North American CCO Jose Cabaco and New York ECD Hal Wolverton oversaw the project.

So, I was doing some gardening, that is weeding out linkrot, from the Collections of ads links in the adlinks spurred on by the sudden spike in emailed questions to me this past week asking “do you know any good ad collection sites?” Well, yeah, but the links I know of, like most other things in my ad-sticky brain are actually already online y’all, so if you missed it here’s me pointing with a giant foam finger at it. *points* —-> Adland’s ad links.
American Package Museum. Oh aren’t they so swell looking? “The primary objective of this site is to preserve and display specimens of American package design from the early decades of the 20th century.” And they do it so well with nicely lit photographs that makes it feel like we’ve taken the Delorian to the past.
Good Logo! You know when your client needs a mockup yesterday and then sends you the logo in the shape of a badly pixellated .jpg? Good logo has saved my ass plenty of times, and serves as a inspiration site when creating logos so I don’t make something far too similar to what is already out there.
Truth in advertising – Cigarette ads from back when “nine out of ten doctors smoke ’em”. How fab.
Ad Classix – where you can browse and buy retro ads from the early 1900s to the 1970s. “AdClassix.com has spent years gathering a unique collection of original, authentic print advertisements spanning the last century. We deal only in the original vintage advertisement produced for any given product. We do not deal in digital copies or mass produced duplicates.”
The History of Advertising Trust Archive:“Over our thirty years of existence we have brought together the largest archive of UK advertising in the world. From the outset our mission has been to make this material available for study and research at the lowest possible cost. HAT Archive houses unique collections and study resources dating from the early 1800s to the present day and we are always looking for ways to develop them and improve our services.”
You too, dear adgrunt, can add your link to the links, but you’ll have to be logged in to do so (spammers really love to try and get one past me there – they have carefully scripted automated bots that hammer the site for days at a time, for real). You can help weed out dead links too, just “report dead link” if you find one that is, this way we keep the link archive fresh and choc full of gems for all adgrunts in the world.
It only takes a small detail to ruin a great film.
