After a chance discovery in the basement of the Discovery Print site, our archive team uncovered a hidden treasure: a collection of classic TV adverts for our iconic brands Jackie, Annabel, Bunty, and The People's Friend. Dating back to the 1950s and 60s, these films are some of the earliest surviving Scottish commercial TV ads, showcasing remarkable technical and advertising innovations that made a lasting impact on viewers. Our archivist and film expert, Barry Sullivan, will delve into these fascinating adverts at a special film event in collaboration with the National Library of Scotland at Kelvin Hall, Glasgow. 📅 Join Barry this Wednesday from 6:00-7:30pm to explore our impact on advertising history. 🎟 Get your tickets here: https://lnkd.in/eJSCwbTh
