New York City - Who cannot remember Smokey the Bear and his stern "Only you can prevent forest fires? Or the military march "Buckle up for Safety, Buckle up"? Well these are just two of the thousands of public service announcements (PSAs) created over the years by The Advertising Council which has a long and prominent history of creating iconic public awareness campaigns on major social issues.
