Vintage Ads Representing Modern Technologies
When you think of vintage, whether it’s about clothes, advertisements, stationary and other stuff, you imagine something that was popular in the past. The funny thing is that all of that is back nowadays and it is considered to be trendy. Vintage is not cheap and hard to get, hence lots of us want to have something to remind us of how the world used to be some time ago.
But what if you mix vintage with what’s new today? Think about it, in fashion they mix vintage clothes or accessories with something new, hence creating a unique outfit in the end. But have you ever thought about advertisements for instance. Imagine that you take something that was invented just some time ago like high-tech mobile phones or robots that can clean your house and represent them through a vintage designed advertisement.
In my opinion that’s a pretty original way to advertise your products and it combines two popular trends – having something new and something vintage at the same time! We found some examples of vintage ads promoting new technologies that people use today.
Hope you find them interesting and inspiring.

Any tips on how to implement a vintage ad campaign?

Being born on the cusp of Gen-x, I can remember how cool it was when my parents switched to touch-tone phones! And I remember the ad in the inside cover of the phonebook for a view phone which would allow you to see and be seen when talking on the phone. And I can remember my mom saying it was a terrible idea because you’d have to be dressed ‘for company’ all the time. You couldn’t answer the phone if your hair was up in curlers or you were in a house dress.
But it turns out, she’s completely up for FaceTime or skyline with various grandkids scattered all over the US. and it’s been decades since she’s dried her hair on big plastic rollers or owned a house dress. Yay mom!
