Wiliam Hesketh Lever (1851) auspicious year - founder of the lever bros - first to package sunlight soap

Newspapers - advertising boom, abolishment of tax's 

Posters - golden age of the poster, colour printing breakthrough

Sunlight Soap was amongst the first to go internationally advertised

collecting wrappers to send off for prizes 

boat rides with banquets and people demonstrating how good the soap is - social promotions

advocated truth - use it interestingly, the truth can be disarming

used the truth wisely focusing on the ways of society and the stereotypes of the time


creating new customers





Viral Advertising - advertisements being passed on via e-mail, word of mouth etc much like a virus
