6. Conclusion Bans on advertising have become an increasingly prominent feature in discussions of environmental policy. In this paper, we have explored a hitherto neglected dimension of such bans - their role in fostering niches for sustainable innovation. Our findings from the Norwegian beer brewing industry show that banning advertising of harmful products can stimulate innovation in benign alternatives, and that such bans can also lead to higher levels of advertising of the benign alternative than would have occurred in the absence of a ban. While advert bans are typically seen as a form of 'regime destabilisation' , our study shows that advert bans can also foster niches for innovation in cleaner or healthier alternative products. Our case study thus suggests that advertising bans could contribute to or accelerate sustainability transitions, by stimulating product innovation of benign alternatives, and promoting increased advertising of those alternatives. In concluding, we argue that advertising bans may be a useful component of a policy mix to drive transitions to greener products and socio-technical systems. We note, however, that the effects of such policies may depend on the maturity of alternatives, and that policymakers should be aware of the potential for product advert bans to facilitate greenwashing.

Highlights • Bans on advertising are increasingly promoted by environmental activists. • First study on the impact of advertising bans on product innovation. • We use a case study of the Norwegian low/no-alcohol beer market. • Advert bans can incentivise innovation in socially desirable alternative products. • Advert bans can both destabilise regimes and foster niches if designed well.

Dreary self professed ‘pro business’ types who hate on our very obvious proposal to ban advertising of fossil fuels & high carbon products & services to enable climate goals to be reached can put this excellent new study in their pipes & smoke it

Do you suppose @mathewmcconaughey.bsky.social takes a moment before he shoots his Agent Force ads and considers if they make sense or does he just take the cash?

Personally, I don’t want to rely on AI to tell me what I want to eat. It’s a ridiculous scenario.

Are you absolutely sure that bombarding new shoppers with multiple popups for newsletter, coupons, registration, etc. atop the mandatory cookies popup, is really a good idea?

You’d think pissing off a new customer is something to avoid. #popups #ads #BADvertising

Give the gift of SMEG! Cute retro appliances, HORRIBLE name.

I'm sure there's a great and important historical reason for the name of this company, but COME ON, Amazon, why would you send out THIS notification?

I do love the retro look, though.

We need a public information campaign on TV and social media to highlight the Highway Code rules about:
1. Safe distances when overtaking cyclists
2. The ‘Dutch reach’ to prevent car-dooring
3. Proper use of advanced stop lines.
Fund it by a levy on car advertising.

If they don't ask to put up ads, we don't need to ask to remove them 🤷‍♂️

We need the government to put out a shedful of adverts on TV, radio, TikTok, YouTube etc. Could pay for it with a levy on car advertising. #Badvertising
