40 Of The Most Powerful Social Issue Ads That'll Make You Stop And Think
Many people complain about advertisements as an obnoxious way for companies to invade our everyday lives and cram their products down our throats, but that's not all that advertisements are good for. The advertisements on this list are excellent examples of effective advertising strategies for social issue campaigns that let their voices be heard.
A well-made advertisement is designed to grab your attention and to remain in your memory long after you've left it behind, and that is exactly what many of these social causes need. Getting people to think and worry about various social and environmental issues (or even simply getting them to be aware of them) is important for raising public supporting and affecting meaningful changes. A few of these ads are, in fact, commercial ads, but it's still nice that they champion socially or environmentally aware causes/products.
Just like with commercial advertisements, having just the facts is not enough. They are important, but the ad must also appeal to the observer's emotions. Many studies have indicated that emotion can have a powerful effect on memory formation, ensuring that memories with emotion will last longer than those without.
According to "Father of Advertising" David Ogilvy, his contemporary, Howard Gossage, said that "advertising justifies its existence when used in the public interest—it is much too powerful a tool to use solely for commercial purposes." We definitely agree, which is why we wanted to share this list of social cause advertisements with you!
WHATEVER!!! ANYBODY IN POWER WILL ALWAYS WANT TO SUBDUE THE NORMAL CITIZENS. MORE THAN 50% OF NATIONS ARE GOVERNED BY DICTATORIAL OR TEAM OF POWER HUNGRY RULERS WHO ARE CAUSING HARDSHIP TO THEIR CITIZENS. THE ARAB CARTEL OF NATIONS ONLY HAVE AN OPEC MEETING TO TRY AND INCREASE THE ALREADY EXORBITANTLY PRICED OIL AND ARE PEOPLE NOT KNOWING HOW TO SPEND THEIR WEALTH, WHEREAS AFRICAN AND ASIAN REMOTE RURAL POOR ARE REELING TO SURVIVE EVERY DAY.
AT LEAST I AM GLAD THAT THIS WRITER HAS COMPILED SOME CORE PRESENT DAY SOCIAL ISSUES AS AD MATERIAL FOR OUR ATTENTION. PERSONALLY I BELIEVE THAT CHARITY BEGINS AT OUR HOME AND NEIGHBORHOOD. SO IN A HUMBLE WAY IF WE COULD ASSIST SERVANT'S KIDS EDUCATION, OR WHEN AT WAYSIDE SHOPPING PLACES IF U SEE BEGGARS ASKING DOLES - ITS BETTER TO BUY SOME FOOD ARTICLE AND GIVE THEM IN THE NAME OF COMPASSION.
AND FRIENDS THIS GOOGLE GROUP IS A LARGE ONE WITH PEOPLE HAVING VARYING VIEWPOINTS - GOOD. LET'S USE OUR OPINIONS FOR HEALTHY CRITICISMS WITH FINER RESPECTFUL WORDS RATHER THAN POINT AT EACH OTHER'S FAULTS. REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A GROUP SHARING SOME OF THE MOST EDUCATIVE, JOCULAR AND NEWS ITEMS OF RELEVANCE WHICH IS BENEFICIAL FOR OUTLOOK TO LIFE.
HAVE A NICE DAY FRIENDS.
