As we discussed here, a new NCAA rule means that on-field advertisements can now be placed on Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium turf, as soon as this fall. While I’m opposed to the idea of turning the Memorial Stadium turf into a billboard, I know it is going to happen. So, I’m choosing to steer into the skid and have some fun with it. Let’s highlight some Nebraska-based companies that are not currently on the list of mega-preferred sponsors, and see what Tom Osborne Field would look like with their branding. We’ll start off understated, as the Nebraska-based chain’s R logo blends somewhat seamlessl...

UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called for advertising agencies and PR companies to stop working with fossil fuel companies. “Many in the fossil fuel industry have shamelessly greenwashed, even as they have sought to delay climate action – with lobbying, legal threats, and massive ad campaigns,” he said. “They have been aided and abetted by advertising and PR companies – Mad Men fuelling the madness.” During a speech to mark World Environment Day in New York on Wednesday, Guterres declared that fossil fuel advertising should be banned in the same way that tobacco ads were banned beca...

The account of Vlaams Belang, Belgium’s Flemish nationalist party, posted an advertisement on April 26 with a video of young people fighting at a Geel bus stop. “Have you also had enough of the ‘enrichment’ of the multicultural society?” the caption reads in Dutch. “Only Vlaams Belang is talking about this…and will restore law and order!” For between €600 to €800, Vlaams Belang got up to 125,000 Facebook impressions and 60,000 on Instagram from this ad, largely from their intended audience of 18 to 34-year-olds in Belgium’s north, according to Meta Ad Library data. For some, the social media c...

Activists from the anonymous collective Brandalism have replaced more than 200 adverts around the UK without permission with satirical posters protesting what it says is Shell’s “lethal legacy”. They are calling for sports organisations, shareholders, local authorities and advertising agencies to reject money from Shell and other fossil fuel companies. This guerrilla protest action comes just days before shareholders are due to meet for the oil company’s AGM on 21 May. Brandalism says its stunt “takes aim at Shell’s political lobbying and the oil major's use of marketing strategies to maintain...

Apple CEO Tim Cook seemed pleased when he tweeted the company’s latest iPad Pro ad, “Crush!”, on Tuesday (7 May). "Meet the new iPad Pro," he wrote. "Just imagine all the things it’ll be used to create." But in order to illustrate the new tablet’s many creative possibilities, Apple decided that their iPad Pro should feature at the exclusion – or more specifically, annihilation – of all other creative objects. The ad features a great slab of metal crushing down on all the things you might use, the company seems to be saying, for something that an iPad Pro can now do for you. Pianos, trumpets, b...

New York (AFP) - The Super Bowl is here and that means millions of Americans will sit down on Sunday to partake in a national passion: watching commercials on TV. The final of the NFL season -- pitting the Kansas City Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers -- is the US advertising industry's biggest event of the year. Companies will shell out an average of $7 million for 30 seconds in front of an audience that reached 115 million in 2023. This year, big brands have the sizeable challenge of competing for buzz with megastar Taylor Swift -- she will jet in from a concert performance in Tokyo to ...

She said the agreement was the first with an advertising agency for its role in the opioid epidemic. "For a decade, Publicis helped opioid manufac...

New York (AFP) - Elon Musk's verbal assault on advertisers who have shunned X (formerly Twitter) threatens to sink the social network further, with the tycoon warning of the platform's demise, just one year after taking control. "If somebody's gonna try to blackmail me with advertising, go fuck yourself," a visibly furious Musk told an interviewer in New York in front of an audience of the US business elite this week. Musk was lashing out at the advertisers who had abandoned his platform after Media Matters, a left-wing media watchdog group, warned big companies that their ads were running asi...

New York (AFP) - Elon Musk apologized Wednesday for endorsing a social media post widely seen as anti-Semitic, but accused advertisers who are turning away from his social media platform X of "blackmail" and said anyone who does so can "go fuck yourself." The remark before corporate executives at the New York Times' Dealbook conference drew a shocked silence. Earlier, Musk had apologized for what he called "literally the worst and dumbest post that I've ever done." In a comment on X, formerly Twitter, Musk on November 15 called a post "the actual truth" that said Jewish communities advocated a...

San Francisco (AFP) - Elon Musk's X Corp. on Monday sued nonprofit Media Matters for driving advertisers away from the platform formerly known as Twitter by portraying it as rife with anti-Semitic content. In a lawsuit filed in US federal court in Texas, X accuses the organization of "tricking the algorithm into thinking Media Matters wanted to view both hateful content and content from large advertisers." Apple, Comcast, NBCUniversal and IBM were among high-profile brands that paused advertising on X last week after Media Matters reported finding ads displayed with pro-Nazi content. The adver...
