Ad Council Celebrates 60 Years, Releases New Hunger PSA

The Advertising Council is marking its 60th anniversary. “From the historic ‘Loose Lips Sink Ships’ to the recent ‘I am an American,’ Ad Council campaigns have mirrored and influenced many of the most critical social issues facing our nation during the last six decades,” stated Peggy Conlon, president and CEO of the Ad Council.
Meantime, PSAs addressing child hunger in the United States are now available. Statistics show one in five children in America today is hungry or at risk of going hungry. The PSAs have been localized for more than 100 markets and carry the theme illustrating the choices that lead to child hunger. The campaign aims to motivate people to reach out locally.
