Adland is dead, long live Adland.

It's time to say goodbye and thanks for all the fish.

As many of you know I’m the owner, founder, editor and writer of Adland.tv, the world’s longest running website devoted to all things advertising. I amassed the world’s largest collection of Super Bowl commercials as well as a treasure trove of some of the best — and worst— ads from all over the world.

After twenty-eight years, I’ve made the decision to take it offline. I don’t have the bandwidth to keep it going as I’d like to. Because in addition to running Adland, I’m also freelancing more than ever. And on top of that, I’m taking care of a parent who has Alzheimer’s. 

At this point, the labor of love I literally built by hand has become more labor and less love. 

So I will be putting up the following domains for auction.

adland.tv
adland.eu
commercial-archive.com
ad-rag.com .

If there is any interest in the trademark, domains, or data please email dabitch@dabitch.net with a proposal.

If you would like to support me, please use this link.

The symbolism between taking all those memories offline while caring for someone with memory problems isn’t lost on me.

That’s why I’m asking you to consider donating to The Alzheimer’s Association.  https://www.alz.org/

Thank you

Me a long time ago, fixing the servers.
