    Remember when they first started sponsoring the referees in Scottish football, thinking that's marketing genius

    I work in marketing and they’re often used a benchmark by other brands.

    Personally, I think they’re very good. Even more so when it’s not really an exciting brand or product they’re marketing.

    Correct, they did, always made me chuckle the ref having 'Specsavers' on his shirt.

    John Smiths ads back in the 70s and 80s were better.

    I agree.
    The hamlet ads spring to mind as being classics
