Nigerian adverts over time have evolved. Despite the number of years, there are old-time favourites you can’t help but remember. Even with the advent of new adverts, there are still old ones that resonate among the public.

 

They either fall within the category of being controversial, unprecedented, sensational or not at all. It may or may not fall within the aforementioned categories, but if it does the job of selling a brand then it must have something magical.

 

The ingredients for an advert to be considered magical involved you crossing the ‘t’s and dotting the ‘i’s of good branding, marketing and promotion. So, even if it’s a pen, there’s a strategy employed to make you still want that particular pen even with a thousand already on your shelf.

 

The message of the ads, casts, storytelling skills, sound, light, aesthetics, and so on. There is a lot that comes to play when creating the perfect picture for your viewing pleasure. You may get excited into dancing or singing along. These unforgettable and innovative ads are timeless for a reason. Just in 2018, YouTube said 17 million eyes in Nigeria viewed top adverts.
