Ken Gargett Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 i suspect we have done something like this before but i came across an old fave recently. for me, the greatest ad ever. makes absolutely no sense and has nothing to do with the product but you never forget it (and how on earth can you watch this and not smile) and i believe it gave the company a massive boost around the world, after some issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHtEyDrD4oA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marketing director gave the agency an open brief to bring the feeling of joy back to the brand. Great courage. As a guy, who has worked in advertising for 25 years, I wish more clients were this brave. But everyone tends to overthink everything now because there are so many opinions and ideas get diluted and compromised. Every now and then there is a gem though.

I think they probably started brainstorming British things and landed on Phil Collins and that moment in the song that everyone knows then went crazy from there.

MD Puffer Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 The Apple 1984 Super Bowl ad would have my vote. Ironically, I detest Apple and these other nosey tech companies. Sent from my iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
