Adland is a website focusing on the advertising industry and an Internet archive of commercials.[1] Adland incorporates advertising news, critical commentary on ads and the advertising industry, and archives of ads and ad campaigns, concentrating on television advertisements.[2] In 2003, Variety described Adland as a "center for ad-related news and discussion."[3] The website also hosts ads which have been banned or censored elsewhere.[4] Adland is headquartered in Malta, though coverage is international.[2] Adland also has a Twitter presence with nearly 150,000 followers.[5] On September 19, 2019, the website completely moved out of web server host Vultr due to a copyright infringement situation regarding a Bridgestone commercial. Since January 2020, the website is currently active again with a completely different web server host.
