this just came into my email:
After many years of reliable service, the Guardian ADS machines (used for sending us mono ads) are being taken out of commission. The last date we will take ads in this format will be Friday 1 August 2008. Please pass this information on to your production departments.
so why is this statement blog worthy (or at least why did I think it was blog worthy). Well when I started as a mere slip of a thing in Recruitment Advertising @ AIA, ADS was just being brought in - and causing quite a stir as all disruptive technology tends to. Like the bromide machine before it and hot metal press before that, proof that the world revolves and evolves - and much of it for the better.
vive l'evolution.
bye bye ADS - it's good to have you interweb.
