Wow, I can’t believe how long it’s been since my last post!
Suffice it to say that I have been uber-busy of late, between vacation travel, birthdays (yep, I’m a year older) and just general projects around the house and neighborhood.. I’ve just not had (or found) the time to update my blog.
But I have been reading others blogs and scouring the internet at times… and continue to find interesting posts with regard to our favorite topic… Ephemera.
Alana, who runs “Alana’s Vintage Collecting Blog” had a recent article with the above topic (I borrowed the picture from her as well). A vintage ad enthusiast like myself, (she also runs Alana’s Vintage Media), she takes us through some history of Coke and its advertising department.
“Coca-Cola advertisements have always been unique and interesting. They have continuously followed current events and happenings across America and are, therefore, a rich source of cultural information.”
I’ll not go much further than to say she has a well organized article that covers such topics as
- Earliest magazine ads
- The American original
- Santa Claus drinks Coca-Cola
- Successful marketing campaigns
Do yourself a favor and hop on over to Alana’s, read her articles… and subscribe to her RSS feed. I think you’ll be happy you did.
I’m Tom Murphy and thanks for helping me give Ephemera the encore it deserves.
