Am I that big of a nerd that I enjoy the Ad Council’s PSAs? I only really found out about all of Ad Council’s ads through my job, as they’re the default “house ad” in a lot of publishers’ display ad management systems (e.g., DART). (The house ad is run when no other ad inventory is available and publisher wants to avoid leaving empty space on the page. Publishers make no money on a PSA click.)
The Ad Council coordinates non-partisan issues with agencies and directors (a favorite of mine, Errol Morris, even made some!) that then create the ads pro bono. Distribution is handled by the Ad Council.
In conclusion, don’t completely ignore these things! Some of them are pretty funny, as I’ve learned from subscribing to them on YouTube:
