"Remember when you could buy barbiturates for the baby? Cover your house with asbestos? Or get heroin from the doctor? Okay, probably not, but thanks to the immortal beauty of advertising, you can take a trip back in time. Here's our pick of some of the most ironic ads in American history."

"Marketing and religion, marketing religion, religious marketing, marketing as religion — all of these are topics for discussion on this blog. This includes everything from marketing God to worshipping commercial culture to brand cults (think Mac users) to faith brands (think Joel Osteen or Oprah).*

How do religion and marketing interact in the 21st Century? I contest that rather than a culture war, there is a blending of the two spheres. We can see this in a myriad of ways from how we practice our faith to how we connect to consumer products.

I wrote Brands of Faith in hopes of coming to an understanding about my own journey through religion and spirituality. Raised in a liberal Jewish home by parents who didn’t much care about God but did have vestiges of a Jewish cultural heritage, I found myself floundering in my faith as I got older. I spent years trying one New Age philosophy after another. I meditated. I read. I walked. I hiked. I meditated some more. I tried A Course in Miracles, Kabbalah, and Buddhism (even thought I might qualify as a JuBu – a Jewish Buddhist – for a while) and through it all I was never satisfied. Oh, I was for a while, but then I would get itchy again.

Many times I thought it was because I wasn’t born a Christian. You see, all of my Christian friends knew they had to go to church on Sunday. For Jews, Saturday synagogue was never mandatory (and figures show this is true for most American Jews).

However, as I began to research religion more thoroughly, I found that Christians aren’t going to church that much either. While the most widely published statistics put church attendance at 40-45%, others suggest that it is closer to 26%. That felt more right to me as I tended to see an awful lot of people at Starbucks on Sunday mornings, and I couldn’t imagine that they were all Jewish.

I began to wonder if it had something to do with marketing – that the books and the expos and the meditation retreats weren’t about getting me spiritually grounded, but rather about getting me economically

"Have you ever thought about how many brands you use in a typical day? Well I did and created a visual representation of my Typical Friday in Brands. I have to admit that I was pretty surprised at how at how big this thing got once I started working on it. I am also surprised at how much this reveals about me …"

TRAVELERS at the Liverpool Street Station in London were surprised one morning last January when several hundred commuters, rather than scurrying onto their trains, started dancing. ...
The ad also showed why many people in the media business feel spurned these days. Advertising in its hallowed forms — television commercials, newspaper ads and the like — is a shrinking part of the marketing equation. New approaches, mostly on the Internet, are what increasingly matter. Advertisers have been shifting growing portions of their budgets online for years. But the popularity of social networking and other Web 2.0 phenomena are helping them use consumers to spread the word for them, allowing them to cut down on paid advertising.
