Visual imagery that is shared on social media can help
advertisers in two ways.
Firstly, it might incorporate the brand and act as a
pseudo-advertisement. For example, the ‘selfie that
broke Twitter’ tweeted by Ellen DeGeneres at the 2013

Traditional Advertising
Let’s take things back to the pre-internet days. The days when advertising was
carried out via cheesy infomercials on radio, fuzzy old televisions, and
billboards. This was the golden era of advertising, when the whole movement
was considered a huge part of society – almost taking on a cultural status.

The first TV ad popped up on screens in 1941 in America – probably a lot later


than you’d imagine. Before the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies
played each other, viewers saw a brief commercial for Bulova clocks and
watches.

Such a small moment set the precedent for the next seventy years.
LECTURE

Back then, adverts were a staunch part of society. Despite the 50s being
a tense decade for America during the Cold War, TV viewers felt
optimistic and were

connection between viewers and brands (though this idea of a consumer
connection didn’t become a priority until later), and famous faces were
brought it to sell everything from washing machines to cigarettes.

for example, who became a
recognizable cultural figure
between the 1960s and
1990s.

men.

pumps out user-generated content for its consumers. Instead of
creating ads that simply shout “buy our awesome product”, they let
their customers do the talking.

Or pelicans, in this case:
