Forty of the most influential advertising concerning social issues
Many people complain about the fact that the ads are an annoying way of companies to enter into our daily lives. However, exceptions exist. The ads in this material are an excellent example of effective advertising strategies for campaigns involving social issues, writes Bored Panda.
A well-made advertising manages to grab your attention and stays in your mind for long. In this case, the basic aim of the advertisement is to make people think and worry about various social and environmental issues (or just to learn about them). This is particularly important, especially if we want more people to help and lead to a meaningful change.
Advertising should reflect the emotions of the viewer. Many studies have shown that emotions can have a powerful effect on the formation of memories. Accordingly memories with emotion last longer than those without one.
Howard Gossage said the following: "advertising justifies its existence when it is used in the public interest. It is too powerful tool to be used only for commercial purposes." So, we decided to show some of the most influential ads:
