Adobe Creative Suites' #10YearChallenge Boasts Brand Nostalgia

Brand nostalgia is one of the biggest factors that appeal to consumers. Reminiscence of the past is not only entertaining but it also motivates all types of memories from an individualist point of view. The most recent example of generated brand nostalgia is Adobe's #10YearChallenge post on Twitter.

This is a clever form of advertising for the brand who finds a seamless way to touch the hearts of its consumers. With the caption "Time flies," Adobe romanticizes the past and acknowledges its long history of attempting to provide designers with the greatest value.
