BACK TO THE FIRST SCREEN: THE RISE OF LOCAL BROADCAST TV ADVERTISING

HOW TO DO ‘GREEN’ ADVERTISING? AUTHENTICITY AND A PROACTIVE APPROACH WIN WITH CONSUMERS, HYPOCRITES ARE PUNISHED

3. 10. 2022 We are living in a time of climate crisis and there is no point in turning a blind eye to it any longer. This is how one could sum up the efforts of many global companies that are giving more and more space to the environmental protection and sustainability in their advertising and marketing campaigns. It is clear that specific actions remain the responsibility of each of us, but these authorities can contribute to a complicated and heated public debate with their attitude and opinion. However, marketers should keep one thing in mind - the “preach water and drink wine”approach is becoming even more fatal in this peculiar discipline. Examples of good practice from abroad will give you a clue as to how to master this difficult task. ADVERTISING REVOLUTION IN the shades of GREEN At the turn of October and November last year, Glasgow, Scotland, hosted the 26th annual UN Climate Change Conference, known as COP26. It is traditionally considered one of the world's most important forums for discussion on climate, nature and landscape issues. To mark the occasion, the British media company Sky Media has decided to adjust its broadcasting schedule, including its commercial breaks. The reason was to sufficiently emphasise the course of the forum and the importance of the issues discussed for the TV audience. Viewers had the opportunity to watch the first ever ‘green’commercial break in British television history on Sky Media portfolio stations.

POPULAR HIT SONGS ARE A SAFE BET IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC. TEN EXAMPLES OF HOW FAMOUS TV COMMERCIALS HAVE WORKED WITH SONGS

22. 9. 2022 Even in the Czech Republic, we have no shortage of TV commercials that have given birth to new musical hits or helped revive forgotten ones. It may therefore seem like quite a superhuman task to choose just ten of them, but we tried anyway. In our selection, you will find ads that rely on the interconnectedness of the musical background with classic Czech humour, but also those that put pride and Czech national and cultural heritage at the forefront. In short, there is a lot to choose from. Please note, however, that many of these examples have the unfortunate trait that will inevitably get stuck in your head for a while. HERA - PEČENÍ JE RADOST, HERA JE PEČENÍ / BAKING IS A JOY, HERA IS BAKING (1998) Baking is a joy, Hera is baking! A slogan that has become so domesticated in the Czech Republic that no one will ever take it away from this baking product. The food company's advertising is largely traditional - it relies on classic scenes of family togetherness, where individual family members come together for the noble goal of creating a bakery masterpiece, which they then sit together over, full of joy. The visuals of the commercial look as if they have come straight out of Slováček's humorous novel Bylo nás pět (There Were Five of Us). This look is supported by both the vintage filter and the choice of the musical motif. Hera reached into the golden fund of Czech classical music and chose Humoreska by the internationally renowned composer Antonín Dvořák. All the compositions in the result form their own audiovisual symphony, during which you can't help feeling that you, too, could brush up on your baking skills and thus delight yourself and your loved ones.
