The Evolution of Jingles in Advertising

Jingles have been a staple in advertising since the early 1920s, when radio commercials first emerged. Brands quickly realized that incorporating music into ads made them more memorable. Over the years, jingles became more melodic and catchy, with examples like Wheaties' jingle in 1926 and Pepsi's jazzy tune in 1939. The popularity of jingles grew with the rise of television in the 1950s, and insurance companies joined the trend in the 1960s. However, in recent years, shorter ads and the use of popular songs have diminished the prominence of jingles in advertising.
