Nostalgia is one of the major marketing trends of 2025 and can connect consumers with the past, evoke positive emotions and create a deeper relationship with the brand.

28. 2. 2024 | 15 min read The word "author" automatically creates a kind of aura of uniqueness around itself. However, this romantic notion is not so relevant today - an author is not just some guru who creates a work of art that future generations will learn about through textbooks. Today, virtually anyone can be an author. This is especially evident in the world of television advertising, where big names are the desired but rarer exception.
