I got one of those spam emails today that included a quiz you’re supposed to complete then forward to all of your friends. I usually just delete them, but this one caught my eye because it included a question about advertising, which gave me an idea for a fun series on KeySplash Creative Conversations – KeySplash Advertising Trivia.
Here’s how it works:
I’ll pick something from a classic or current ad such as a slogan, line of copy, image, etc. and post it on KeySplash Creative Conversations as KeySplash Advertising Trivia Question #. Then I’ll ask readers to leave a comment to answer the advertising trivia question. When someone leaves a comment with the correct answer, I’ll follow up with a comment giving that person kudos for knowing his or her advertising trivia!
Let’s start with an easy one. Here is KeySplash Advertising Trivia Question #1:
What brand claimed, “a little dab’ll do ya”?
Think you know? Leave a comment with your guess!
If you have an idea for an advertising trivia question, submit it through the KeySplash Creative contact form.
