# Ads With Classic Couples Goobers Compares PB & J's to JFK and Jackie O By Vincent Salera | Published 2009-02-14 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pairvitising-goobers-peanut-butter-and-jelly-sandwiches-blur-your-vision References: [adsoftheworld](http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/goobers_peanut_butter_and_jelly_classic_pairs_2) These ads for Goobers Peanut Butter and Jelly use iconic couples to illustrate the perfection of this popular pairing. Couples in the ads include Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, John Lennon and Yoko Uno, and John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier. I find the concept great in representing and delivering the message that peanut butter and jelly is a great partnership, but I really think these ads would have been more effective with a simple elegant black-and-white image of the iconic pairs without the morphing. The ads were created by advertising agency Miami Ad School with creative direction and copywriting by Carren O’Keefe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/print) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Iconic Couple Advertising:** Opportunity to leverage classic couples in advertising campaigns to evoke nostalgia and create a strong emotional connection with consumers. - **Perfect Pairings:** Opportunity for brands to showcase the synergy and complementarity of their products or services through the use of iconic couples. - **Nostalgia Marketing:** Opportunity to tap into consumers' yearning for the past by incorporating iconic couples in advertising to create a sense of familiarity and sentimentality. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore creative ways to highlight the perfect combinations of food and beverage products using iconic couples in advertising. - **Fashion and Luxury:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate iconic couples in fashion and luxury brand campaigns to showcase the harmonious pairing between products or services. - **Travel and Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Use iconic couples in travel and tourism advertisements to evoke a sense of romantic destinations and inspire wanderlust. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flirty Food Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mccain-fries-and-heinz-ketchup.md) - [Nutty Sweet Jerky Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-links-duos.md) - [Handmade Dating App Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/get-paired-with-paird.md) - [Honey-Packed Peanut Butters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goober-honey.md) - [Nostalgically Flavored Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pbj-pop.md) - [Food Pairing Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trigger-the-taste.md) - [Nostalgic Mayonnaise Advertisements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meg-ryan-and-billy-crystal.md) - [Sandwich-Inspired Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pbj-pop-grape-and-strawberry.md) - [Sandwich-Inspired Coffee Creamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavored-coffee-creamers.md)
