Campaigns
Advertising Campaigns are often found in announcement notices in Advertising Age, described in books and web sites on Slogans and Advertising Awards, particularly the CLIO AWARDS for television, which is often broadcast like the Academy Awards (Oscars). ASU does collect books on advertising campaigns. Use the KEYWORD search to find your industry ("automobile", "beer", "beverages", etc.) and use the word "advertising" as another keyword. Older advertisements are more difficult to find because often they were not preserved. There is no index to advertisements at this time.
