155. Retro ads | Burberry confusion | Warburtons latest star turn | ad bombardment

Features editor Matt Barker and reporter Charlotte Rawlings discuss the recent fuss over Burberry's Bond Street tube station takeover, Samuel L Jackson appearing in the latest Warburtons campaign and a Credos report on the ad bombardment fuelling mistrust among younger audiences.

Matt is then joined in the studio by Lola Neves, chief strategy officer at Neverland and Matt Waksman, head of strategy, advertising at Ogilvy, to chat about a mini-wave of retro ads, including from McDonald’s and Muller.

Are we witnessing a new trend, prompted by a need to escape our troubled times, or is it simply a quick and easy way to target a younger demographic obsessed with 1990s/early naughties baggy fashion and lo-fi gaming graphics?
