Classic Levi’s Ads Through the Ages
Introducing out latest blog feature! Each month we're going to be taking a trip down memory lane and looking back at some classic retro TV ads that hit our small screens duruing our childhoods.Few things are guaranteed to make you feel old like getting nostalgic about old TV adverts. These are the kinds of things you often donât even know that you remember, but having been aired in between your favourite after-school shows they slip into your sub-conscious only to make you feel old in the future.
Some adverts become legendary and some brands are better known for their advertising campaigns than others. Believe it or not the classic jeans brand Leviâs have been airing TV ads since way back in 1966, so lets take a trip back and see just what Levi's brought to the TV table.
How many of these ads from them can you remember?
Good Morning World, 1974
A campaign for Leviâs âyouthwearâ features a boy and his dog having a much sprightlier morning than any I remember when having to be up early. Any 70s kid are bound to remember this, but whether you can or not, rest assured you wonât get that song out of your head any time soon.
Best bit: the dogâs ears!
