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.

Keynsham is near Bristol.

Woooah! Bodyform!

Accrington Stanley are a Lancashire football team

Cinzano ? Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins . Also ‘ the water from Mallorca don’t taste like what it oughter’

I kept on intending to come back to this reply but couldn't find it

Thank you 😄

Omg

I know, right!

😄😄

Omg labradors are Andrex puppies for me

Insane - i dont think many people under 30 know about it tbh

But also, ive gone from fancying dave grohl to being disgusted by him and his harem of mothers to his children 🤢🤢

Yeah I'm more annoyed at myself than I am disgusted in him though. He is who he is, but I thought I was a good judge of character and I thought he was a really nice fella.

The tune 'Air on a G string' by J S Bach.
Better known as the Hamlet Cigar tune to those of us at a certain age ☺️

‘Clunk click, every trip’.

A highly successful series of public information films in the 1970s & 80s to encourage people to wear seatbelts fronted by Jimmy Savile. They helped to change public attitudes, change people’s behaviour & save lives.

It inevitable that the many good things Savile did in his life will always be overshadowed by the many evil things he did.

Should've gone to Specsavers

Compare the meerkat was pretty good.

And here am I years later using only them for all my insurance. Worked on me I guess.

Someone mentioned the Benson & Hedges ads uptrend- I always thought the Silk Cut ones were good.

Clarks shoes
Act your shoe size, not your age.

As heard of people saying I love watching cartoons as can act my shoe size.

Cigarette ads? When was this? 👀👀

I remember 'act your age, not your shoe size' being a common insult as a 90s kid 😄

Same, I used to eat them often and haven’t since the day I saw that advert.

1980s, I think. In magazines. Purple and white with just a cut sliced in a piece of silk, no words.

I wonder how many Safestyle UK call operators were fed up with kids calling 0800 106 107 free from phone boxes and shouting down the phone “SAFESTYLE! I WANT YOUR WINDOWS!”

Its what the guy in the ad said to do…

There are some adverts that have stuck with me for 40+ years just because of their jingles - B&Q (You can do it if you B&Q it), Super Fresco (What goes up, must come down. Superfresco makes it easy, it's from Graham and Brown) and Shake 'n' Vac. The Smash adverts of the late 70s and early 1980s are also something I remember to this day.
The only reason I remember adverts these day because so many of them feature really irritating people! Probably not what the advertisers want, really, as it makes me avoid certain products!

The cigarette adverts in magazines back in the 1980s were beautifully shot. They always had such a glamourous feel to them - mind you, they never convinced me to smoke.
