Don\u2019t get me wrong \u2014 they\u2019re all classic costumes, and any advertising professional should be proud to wear one out and about on Halloween. But they\u2019re also a little bit\u2026 done. And if you\u2019re worried about running into someone wearing your same costume, the danger increases when you go with a classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution? Choose an advertising icon who\u2019s just as recognizable but doesn\u2019t get the attention they deserve. Here are a few ways to show up at your agency\u2019s Halloween party with something a little bit different (along with coupled-up options if your significant other will be getting in on the fun).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part: All of these are available on Amazon Prime, so you can order them now and have them in time for Halloween. (I\u2019m not receiving any kind of commission for any of it, ftr \u2014 this is entirely a public service.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The heroine from the \u201c1984\u201d commercial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Apple\u2019s epic, Ridley Scott-directed \u201c1984\u201d ad (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RSyy2-Z2m-U\" target=\"_blank\">Apple\u2019s epic, Ridley Scott-directed \u201c1984\u201d ad<\/a> will forever be regarded as 59 of the most iconic seconds in advertising history.
