It's certainly interesting to see just how times have changed with regards to marketing and advertising. These vintage adverts are definitely an eye-opener. Which of these are your favourites?

3. Looking at vintage advertising through the eyes
of a 21st-century consumer is certainly
interesting - and not without its laughs.
While it’s not hard to see why most of these ads
would be banned today, you might be surprised
that some of them were published not that long
ago.
People tend to think that advertising stopped
being sexist, racist and inappropriate in the 50s
and 60s. Not so much. Even during the 1990s,
print ads could be tasteless. Shocking.
Ridiculous when seen from our current
perspective.
How do these ads compare to those for similar
products these days? Well, for one, you can’t
even advertise for cigarettes any more...

4. Imagine if your copywriting
agency came back with a lead
slogan that read ‘men are better
than women!’...
Sexism was rife in adverts
during the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Everything was a boy’s club,
according to these ads.

6. Sega adverts from the 1990s...
Shocking, no? To think
that these ads were
published not even that
long ago is quite the
surprise.
Hard to imagine that such a
big name brand would
engage in low brow tactics.
But here the ads are, in all
their glory.
