Advertising – Public Awareness

Not created to sell products, but rather to sway opinion and, of course, initiate and raise awareness, public awareness ads (PSA’s) recall the issues; the fears, deficiencies, and perceivedĀ instances of collective ignorance of a given time. Related to Advertising – Corporate IdentityĀ in their shared use of propaganda like techniques, these print manifestations of agenda can be very impactful. We divide Advertising –Ā Awareness chronologically: Advertising – Public Awareness – Pre-1980 Advertising – Public Awareness – 1980-1989 Advertising – Public Awareness – 1990-1999 Advertising – Public Awareness – 2000-2010 Advertising – Public Awareness – 2010-2019
