Unsatisfied with traditional shaving methods, MIT Professor Frank Shields set out to create a product that would provide for a less irritating shave. In 1919, he succeeded with the invention of Barbasol – a shaving cream that did not have to be worked into a lather. He named it Barbasol from the combination of two words: the Roman word barba (meaning beard) and “solution.” Dean James Ballas Assignment Consumer Product Advertising: Obscure Product I2 l dezignrogue.com barbasol print ads Concept Let your hair be heard!

Measurement of other media is often indirect, since there is no direct response from a consumer.

I 50 l Company Background The Mini Cooper is a small car made by the British Motor Corporation. The original car is considered a British icon of the 1960s and considered the British equivalent to its German contemporary, the Volkswagen Beetle. The Beetle enjoyed popularity thanks to one of the strongest ad campaigns in advertising history developed by the Doyle Dane Bernbach agency in the 1960s. The Volkswagen Beetle campaign, and the work of the ad agency behind it, transformed advertising — from the way it’s created to what you see as a consumer today. dezignrogue [email protected] Ambient advertising refers to almost any kind of advertising that occurs in some nonstandard medium outside the home (intrusive ads in public places.) With the cost of traditional media advertising skyrocketing and ads fighting for consumers’ attention, marketers are aggressively seeking out new advertising vehicles. Ambient ads appear on store floors, at gas pumps, on elevator walls, park benches, telephones, fruit and even pressed into the sand on beaches. The phrase was presumably coined during the peak of popularity of ambient music, a genre with electronic textures that create a mood or atmosphere. Although ambient advertising has been around for decades, the category has exploded in recent years.
