Best Advertising Campaigns Ever

One of the best known advertising slogans which has been around since it's inception. Nike still uses the "Just do it" slogan.

Many people continue to use the slogan from Debeers' advertising campaign, adding popularity to it, especially when it comes time to getting someone a special gift for a special occasion such as an anniversary.

Miller Lite's creation of this ad slogan created a memorable "quote" that people even use today for other things aside from Miller Lite Beer.

A clever campaign created and made famous by Maxwell House coffee. Whenever I drink Maxwell House coffee, the saying pops in my mind for some reason. It was definitely a catchy phrase that is easy to remember.

This campaign ran during the 1980s featuring Griff Rhys Jones collobarating many Hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe and Steve Mcqueen, the latter one filmed in colour, others in black and white.

This campaign from the 1990s featured different celebrities such as Patricia Routeledge, Bob Hoskins, Larry Hagman and Joanna Lumley doing the click at the end of each one. It was the same company (British Gas) that did the 1986 promotion on the 'Sid' campaign. It began with 'The Word' campaign. Customers in every town and city in the United Kingdom would have received a leaflet through the post or other sources, an opportunity to invest in shares before the closing date, let us say June 30th, one month from the promotion started May 31st or June 1st. Then of course the ads. I would imagine at the time during a news bulletin i.e Channel 4 News or ITV's News At Ten.

Referring to the adverts of the 1980s and 90s of a former bank wich since has rebranded as HSBC (as of 2026).

Obviously, the 1999 award winning and high profile 'Surfer' one, filmed in Hawaii was watched by millions. There was another featuring a swimmer to the tune of Perez Prado's Mambo No'5 (before the Lou Bega version in 1999). In recent times, the slogan was revived thanks to an american footballer named Joe Montana.

Advetising slogans such as 'You Can't Beat The Feeling frrom the late 1980s. Of course, there was the classic 1970s advert featuring individuals on a hilltop. The song is 'I Like To Teach The World To Sing'. There was the 1980s equivalent in an assembly hall featuring a girl singing and as the sixty second advert progressed, everybody joined in the song which was called 'I Am The Future Of The World'.

Referring to the Carling (formerly Carling Black Label) adverts of the 1980s and early 1990s. Memorable ones include its take on the famous war film 'Dambusters' and a breakdance pensioner. Stephen Frost and Mark Arden appeared in many of its long running series.

This is a brand of chocolate biscuit made by Jacob's usually in a pack. Its series of adverts include a scene from The Wizard Of Oz'.

Classic example being the 1989 'Face' advertisement that ran for a few more years into the 1990s. Check out the 'Manhattan' one from the early 1980s that was the forerunner of such high profile adverts including the London 2012 Olympic ad campaign.

The 'cricket on beach' one from 1994 is one in this long running series. Somewhat underrated to the recent ones like its take on a bank and a karaoke concert.

The 1985 'Water In Majorca' one is the most memorable of this long running campaign. Other highlights included its take on the Dulux and Milk Tray ones. I remember the two blues musician from around 1992-93.

The original 1991 advert based on a French film titled 'Jean De Florette' is one of a series of adverts lasting more than a decade.
