AdLand is Back
After an amazing 20+ years, AdLand's founder Ă sk "Dabitch" WĂ€ppling needed to move on. But that didn't mean this amazing website had to go too!
They say the dog is man's best friend ... so what happens if you have a TV for a best friend instead? This sentimental ad won the Grand Prix in Cannes in 1989. It was a different game back then.
If winning the grand prix was historic the advertising message was no less a milestone as well. The ad's message was clear: it was not desirable that children spend so much time watching television . Yet the ad aired on Spanish TV, which promoted the sharing time with friends & family instead, and to watch less TV.
