In February 1968, Paul McCartney began running a series of ads in New Musical Express to promote Apple Corps. All of the ads were photos or drawings chosen by Paul, with no text except the word Apple.

All those weird photos which you have seen in the press recently advertising the Beatles’ Apple companies, have been selected by Paul.

He thought up the idea for the Apple advertising campaigns and visited many of the photo agencies in London so that he could plough through thousands of photos in order to find what he wanted.

The campaign has still many months to run, so there are still lots of Paul’s Pix to come. (Beatles Monthly Book, N°58, May 1968)
