The adverts of old many of us remember fondly (think: 'bam bam la la', 'always ultra', 'baba blue') were memorable for many of us because of two distinct features:
1. They told stories
2. They were relatable
Marketing ideation and execution runs on a powerful thread: stories
So, what can you learn from these ads that you can apply to your marketing today?
Define the type of story you want to tell
