The purpose of this is to illustrate its tag line, "The definitive [Diamond Jubilee coverage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcvities-chocolate-digestives). From the newspaper that has witness it all." By showing the queen in the beginning of her reign and then an impressive 50 years later, the print ads beautifully and succinctly illustrate not only their exclusive content, but also her admirable rule. Conceived and executed by CHI&Partners, an ad agency based in London, United Kingdom, The Life The Times ad campaign was art directed by Alexei Berwitz with creative direction by Jon Burley. Retouched by Rob Swainson and Dave Turfitt, the images are stunningly seamless. This pays tribute to [the queen's strife-free time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stripes-beauty-hotter-than-ever) on the throne in a simple way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Split Screen Advertising:** Opportunity to create impactful ads using split screen technology to highlight contrasting elements for a compelling message. - **Nostalgic Campaigns:** Chance to engage audiences by evoking nostalgia through visuals and design that showcase the past and present. - **Exclusive Content Marketing:** Utilize exclusive content to attract customers by emphasizing the unique value proposition and expertise of a brand. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Advertising:** Innovate traditional advertising by incorporating split screen techniques to capture consumer attention and deliver engaging messages. - **Publishing:** Leverage nostalgic campaigns to promote publications and highlight historical coverage, appealing to readers seeking unique perspectives. - **Media and News:** Offer exclusive content marketing strategies to maintain a competitive edge in a crowded media landscape, attracting audiences with compelling and insightful stories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [History-Centric Advertisements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-ontario-museum.md) - [Sun-Lit Anniversary Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corona-100-years.md) - [Celebratory Beverage Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legendary-stories.md) - [Hyper-Local Gym Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-for-london-life.md) - [Individuality-Focused Brand Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-originals-new-campaign.md) - [Analog-Themed Camera Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-life.md) - [Vibrant Retro Transport Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/public-transport-safety.md) - [Timeless Gin Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-or-nothing.md) - [World-Class Billboard Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corona-sun-activated-billboard.md)
