Die Another Day: Reviving Old Commercial...

APOSTROPHE PODCAST NETWORK
About this episode

Occasionally, an old advertising campaign is brought back from the dead.

Even if it has been off the air for decades.

This week, we’ll discuss a recurring Coke commercial that has been called the most popular ad of all time.

A much-loved beer campaign that has been revived after 34 years.

And a controversial commercial that was yanked off the air in 1989, but was re-run again recently.

We know you want to listen to all the ads in this show. On the off-chance you don’tsubscribe ad-free here.
