Ads of the Years Launch
16 February 2026

Last week we launched our Ads of the Years exhibition at the Outernet London by hosting a special breakfast event at Arcade in Tottenham Court Road.
It really was a who's who of the last 50 years in advertising and production - with so many friendly faces coming together to mark this milestone moment and look back across the vast achievements and iconic pieces of work that have graced our screens over five decades. We're thrilled with the positive reaction to the exhibition and - for the first time - engaging with the general public to reminiscence on their favourite ads across the generations. It's been a joy and a privilege. And we're delighted with the amount of press coverage with special thanks to The Academy PR.
We were featured on ITV's Good Morning Britain and our Chairman, Simon Cooper, appeared on BBC Radio London. We've had articles written by: The Telegraph, The Times, Daily Express, VERGE, MSN/i paper, Wallpaper*, Skiddle, Creative Salon, Campaign, PRWeek, Shots and a myriad of regional press from the London Standard, to the Lancashire Post, The Sheffield Star and Wigan Today.
There's just one week left to go and see The Ads of the Years exhibition at the Outernet London and vote for your favourite - cast your vote here: https://www.britisharrows.com/british-arrows-ads-of-the-years
The winner will be announced later in March and awarded the inaugural People's Arrow as voted for by the public.
Huge thank you to the team at Ink & Giants for all their amazing animation and design work, to Executive Producer Hugh Ip Creative, to Emily Thomas and Josh Campbell at Factory Studios & SIREN for the incredible sound design & audio mix and to The Wiz the Composer.
