the blurb..

Curiosity killed the cat, that’s how the saying goes anyway. So its lucky, here at content, that we are not from the feline family because we are very curious.

We are curious about ads, consumer trends and all things marketing. This blog is our way of organising our many thoughts and ideas, before our brains explode. We will write about the things we love, the things we hate and the things we think could have been done better. At content noted we don’t pretend to be marketing experts. We offer a more important opinion, that of a consumer.

Your content has been seen and noted, why don’t you read through ours?

When we were young




  • Do you remember Johnson and Friends, Bangers and Mash, Furbies or colourful leggings and scrunchy socks?? 

    Chances are if you were born in the late 80’s, like us here at content, your mind has raced back to fond childhood memories. It’s funny how comforting these memories can be. How often favourite childhood TV shows, primary school games, past fashions or even rites of passage pop up in general conversation. Not only do these memories bring happiness, but there is an immediate connection between people who share these iconic and endearing symbols.

    The reason nostalgia can be so powerful is simple. The emotional association is already there and, more often than not, it’s positive.

    One of content’s favourite examples of nostalgia in marketing can be found at http://wedontdobeige.blogspot.com/2011/03/remember-when-we-didnt-need.html.
