About this episode

This episode explores the concept of cheeky advertising and its bold, playful nature.

A favourite episode from our Archives.... 80% of all advertising is ignored. That’s why some advertisers employ cheeky advertising. It’s usually bold – outrageous – and sometimes even rude – but always with a playful undertone. We’ll talk about a fruit company that printed an open letter to the Pope. An airline campaign that told you to “keep it in your pants.” And a product that claims your grandparents had more sex than you.   We know you want to listen to all the ads in this show.
