What has been the most effective ad campaign?

Something that stays with you, or something that you reference all the time?

Mine is Autoglass Repair Autoglass Replace. Literally, the second my windscreen got a crack this week, I knew i'd just contact them.

They're actually just called 'Autoglass' as well, but i still say the full tagine for the fun of it.

You’ve got to magic the beans!

A taste of TROPICAL paradise!

The advert of the 80s where they were warning us about electrical stations. Why we shouldn't climb power lines and Charley says.

The 80s adverts had staying power

I still sing the Gino Ginelli ice cream song. Gino oh gino ginelli!!!

I can't believe no one's mentioned the Lynx adverts yet!

Bom Chicka Wow Wow!!

And Herbal Essences! Yes, Yes, Yes!

Ferrero Rocher with the ambassadors and the platter of the FR in a pyramid. I remember watching a comedy sketch of a piss take of the advert. Someone picked a FR from the bottom of the platter. Which then made the pyramid collapse and roll the chocolates all over the floor, tripping up the waiter. Think it was French and Saunders

Showing my age here but every now and then this pops into my head:
whitbread big head, trophy bitter, the pint that thinks it’s a quart.

There’s juice loose about this hoose!

I always remember the cartoon hedgehogs crossing the road, singing 'King of the Road'. And yes, I have been known to sing it to the little ones 😂

The Julie knew her killer ad has clearly stayed with many people given all the comments! I was going to say that too. A few of the Think! ads have stayed with me to be fair. There’s one where a man is going about his daily routine and a dead girl is hiding in every space (under his desk etc) because he killed her in his car. Another in a pub where the guy is having too many beers and suddenly lurches forward. They were all very effective/scary! Feel like they’ve softened now.

NSPCC used to do lots of creepy ones too - especially the ad where a man has a little girl puppet on his lap.

On a more positive note I love the Jonathan Glazer banned Flake advert. And have still never stopped saying Compare the Meerkat!

I’d rather have a bowl of coco pops!

a is for Alpha
b is for Bite
c for yourself that
they taste just right

there was this beans one about a hairdresser woman complaining about her hands:

”they were like two dumpling and half a pound of chipolatas…”

Ovaltina
here you see her!
Bouncing up and down

Try saying Matessons
without saying
mmmmm

There was an advert about fire prevention. I still remember the jingle as the couple went around their home, checking everything was switched off before they went to be.
Get a routine, show your intention, fire prevention, fire prevention. Check and make sure you close every door. We mean, your life could depend on your bedtime routine.
It must be over 40 years old but I still remember it.

The one that sticks in my head was - I think - for Malibu or Lilt and the general vibe was about it being more relaxed in the Caribbean. There was someone like a management consultant training fishermen, shouting ‘Do you want this fish?’

'Don't you want me baby? Don't you want me... woah woah woah woah'. Think it was car insurance or something?! The actor pops up on TV occasionally still!

Also agree with 'Julie knew her killer', all those public safety videos were so well done. I've always been terrified of open windows on trains.

“We want to be together” is another one that lives rent free in my head even today.

The jaffa cake ad was another memorable one.

'New, moon, quarter moon, Full moon'

Heineken: The Water in Majorca Don’t Taste Like What It Oughta

The Maxell tape advert with Pete Murphy from Bauhaus 😍

Hastings direct - name a single other company whose number you could sing!

There was another one maybe late 90,s early 00,s that started off with " Susan ( cant remember actual name) knew her killer ,and it was a mother driving her two teenage kids too school and she stopped suddenly making her son ( who wasent wearing a seat belt ) jolt forward from the back seat slamming into her and killing her instantly.
