NEW YORK – Marketecture Media is proud to announce the re-launch of Adland.tv today, an amazing creative resource with over 80,000 advertisements from the 1970s through today, along with the world’s largest repository of Super Bowl commercials.
For twenty years AdLand has been featuring the best, worst, and most controversial advertising in the world. To the dismay of its millions of fans, the site shut down abruptly earlier this year. Today we’re announcing that AdLand is back, under the ownership of Marketecture Media.
“When I heard about the AdLand shut down I realized this was an invaluable resource and that it had to be saved,” said Ari Paparo, the co-founder and CEO of Marketecture. “Marketecture is striving to serve all of advertising with new kinds of journalism and products, and the creative side is a core part of the business,” he added.
The Adland.tv website features over 80,000 ads from the 1970s to today, including the world’s largest collection of ads featured on the Super Bowl. Whether you’re looking for creative inspiration, indulging in nostalgia, or highlighting your own best work, AdLand is an amazing resource for everyone in the creative industries.
“Before I even went to portfolio school I got a global education just by checking out ads I would not have seen otherwise” said long-time contributor Evan Brown, the Co-Founder of creative agency Victory Garden. “In a real sense, I owe my career to Adland. It is an amazing resource for ad students and creative professionals alike. And I’m glad it’s not going anywhere,” he continued.
AdLand was founded over twenty years ago by Åsk Wäppling, an art director early in her career. She talked about her experience:
“When I started Adland as an art director back in 1996 it was just to amuse myself. I could not have predicted that it would outlast the Absolut campaign. It means the world to me to know that it has had an impact on so many creatives all over the world. I’m glad that Adland is in Marketecture’s more than capable hands. And I can’t wait to see where it goes from here.”
AdLand has collected its amazing repository of advertising through the contributions of the community. AdLand will continue welcoming new submissions of ads from creative agencies and brands. While the AdLand site is free, moving forward there will be a small fee for each new creative submission.
