LAW OR ETHICS? ADVERTISING BENEFITS FROM BOTH FORMS OF REGULATION SEAMLESSLY BUILDING ON EACH OTHER
5. 10. 2023 | 16 min read Many marketers come to a crossroads in their professional career where they have to evaluate whether their creative idea is suitable for public presentation or whether it is unnecessarily teetering on the edge of ethics and good taste. This is a decision on which the future of the promoted brand may depend, so it is 100% advisable to think twice. Fortunately, there are imaginary directives that roughly outline what is allowed and what is not. Generally speaking, this is the concept of ethical marketing, but it needs to be evaluated in some way both by states and by business and industry players. The Czech republic is no exception to this and advertising is thus limited by boundaries originating in public and private space. Let’s learn a lesson from the violation of the code of ethical advertising, taking a look at some of the spots that have been banned from the airwaves by the advertising council for various reasons. And let everyone get an idea of the concept of advertising that is already teetering on the imaginary edge. ARE WE LIVING IN THE ERA OF ETHICAL MARKETING? In the past, the issue of morality and ethics has led to the emergence of an industry with a specific focus - the so-called ethical marketing. The main idea is based on the simple premise that reputation is one of the basic intangible assets available to companies. Accordingly, great demands are placed on marketers, as they must bear in mind not only the protection of their own brand but also that of consumers, specific categories such as children or ethnic minorities, as well as society as a whole. Simply put, they take responsibility for ensuring that the brand they represent communicates honestly, accurately and with respect for human individuality and dignity.

THE GRAND FINALE OF THE ROUND-THE-WORLD TV ADVERTISING JOURNEY: WORLD RECORDS AND CURIOSITIES
14. 9. 2023 | 8 min read Our summer trip around the world in search of TV advertising is over. Let’s take a look at the ads that have earned a spot in the Guinness World Records or are so peculiar that they have crossed not only country borders but also the earth’s borders. Yes, you guessed right, we will take a look into space. THE FIRST TV AD IN THE WORLD WITH A CZECH FOOTPRINT We have already written about the world’s first television advertisement for Bulova watches, which aired on 1 July 1941 on WBNT, in an article about TV advertising in the USA. However, you may not know that Czechia, or rather a Czech native, has a share in this first spot. In 1875, during the golden era of industrial development in America, a Czech immigrant Josef Bulova (born in Louny) opened a jewellery shop in the centre of New York. Soon after, he began to produce his own watches with his name on the dial. And it was at that moment that the history of a global brand started. Bulova’s watches not only made it to the moon but were also the first product ever to be featured in a television ad.
