IT WAS BETTER TEN YEARS AGO (Part One).
Everything was. The World. America. Advertising.
Also (below), the first ever penis transplant was performed in South Africa in December, 2014.
But, this is an Advertising Creativity blog, not a Creative Elective Surgery blog.
Even though ad creativity was already dying ten years ago, some thankfully were still fighting the good fight. So, here’re 11 ads from 2014 that are better than any of the habitual banal garbage being produced in 2024.
Buy your subscription here to see the ads. If you do buy a sub, I will give you free ad creative advice; portfolio or career (just email me). I’ve seen several thousand things (including hundreds of portfolios) in my 35 years in this business. Also, it’s a great week to buy a sub because on July 1st, my annual price goes up to $50.
Great ads from 2014. Part Two, Wednesday. Part Three, Friday.
