Most of these SU Libraries databases contain content that is primarily audiovisual.  "World Advertising Research Center" is also an excellent source for written advertising case studies:

• Adforum Explore the world of U.S. and international advertising via the Adforum database. An online audiovisual library of more than 120,000 advertisements (1999-present), including Television ads, Digital/Web ads, Social Media ads, Print (Magazine & Newspaper) ads, Radio ads, and various other forms of “Out of Home” advertising like billboards, posters and vehicle mounted images. Content originates from over 20,000 advertising agencies in dozens of countries.  Award winning advertising can also be retrieved by award name and year (e.g., Clio, Effie, One Show, etc).
