This 1998 Ray-Ban vintage ad cleverly combines pop culture references with product utility, using humor and irony to create a memorable visual, the main copy ” glare protection” directly ties, the image of two vampires, traditionally, avoiding sunlight to the products benefit in a simple yet effective way by featuring vampires, the ad tabs into cultural zeitgeist of the late 1990s influenced by popular media like the interview with the vampire (1994) and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997). This demonstrates how leveraging current cultural trends can make marketing messages, more engaging and reliable for modern audiences.
