play

02/04/21 • 27 min

This week, we explore superheroes in advertising. Superman was the archetype of the modern superhero and he was the archetype for how superheroes were used in ads. From Supe promoting Kellogg’s commercials in the 1950s to Batman hawking savings bonds to Batgirl advocating equal pay for equal work, stoic superheroes became the ultimate spokes-characters.

This week, we explore the branding of diseases. Over the course of history, diseases have been named after people and countries with devastating effects.

This week, we take a look at Last Chance Tourism.


Tourism companies around the world have started to advertise specific destinations to travelers, because those locations have a very unique offering.


Namely, they are vanishing.


From glaciers, to polar bears, to the Amazon Rainforest. Marketers are using a strategy called “Loss Aversion” – where the emotional impact of a loss is felt more intensely than a gain.


So people are rushing to these locations, afraid they might miss their last chance to see them.

This week, it’s our annual look at brands I admire. They may not be the coolest or the biggest brands – but they’re fascinating studies in marketing. From a record store with a sense of humour to a cartoon with virtually no dialogue, this year’s list gives me a mean case of Brand Envy.
