These advertisements sought to capture the attention of a public accustomed to the blaring, to-the-point TV commercials of the era. However, it was not all doom and gloom; as ads are a reflection of the times, racial and ecological awareness began to creep into various product advertisements, reminding Americans that everyday products were embracing the modern age. Marketing specialists embarked on a mission to understand the best way to communicate with a vast audience, resulting in the creation of some rather mundane slogans such as \"sisters are different from brothers,\" which was used for an African-American hair product.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the end of the decade, print ads had begun to make a comeback, regaining their originality and creativity as they focused on target audiences through carefully chosen placement in smaller publications.
