Weiden and Kennedy

W + K has produced some amazing ads for Nike ever since they created "Just Do It". From Michael Jordan to LT, W+K has kept Nike on top in the industry. People just associate good athletes with Nike. Other competitors like Under Armour and Adidas can not compete with the brand image Weiden and Kennedy has created for Nike. This Ad could symbolize what Nike has done against its opponents. Their better is better than your better.

BBH

preview_600_911.jpg

This Ad is similar to the TRUTH campaign by Crispin and Arnold as well as others like Saatchi and Saatchi's British Army ads. All of the ads like this one are difficult to come up with creative strategies, but the premier agencies like BBH never fail to impress. This is a new effective way to resonate with the target audience. The picture of smoke in the shape of "Lucifer" reminds people the evil that cigarettes and other drugs can do to your bodies.

This is one of the best print ads I have ever seen. I think the Ads that nothing needs to be said or written are the most effective. It is a great example of making a boring product come alive. I will always associate this Ad with bug spray and associate OFF with bug spray. Im sure Im not the only one who feels this way... Awesome Print Ad.

Kaplan Thaler

I like this Ad a lot because it gets past all of the clutter you see with regards to automotive commercials. Half way through you start to even feel bad for the tire. Good job by Kaplan Thaler by going deeper than the simple "by my tires because they are cheap" Ads. I now feel that Pep Boys cares for their clients based on this Ad. It reflects on their service and tires to spend the money and the time to advertise as well as they did,

Publicis

Funny Ad by Publicis but I dont have any idea what Hula Hoops are. It reminds me of Grey's Schwepps Ad that never really explained the product, it just assumed you knew.From what I have seen from European Ads, they dont really show what the product actually is or does. I guess it is assumed that we should know what the product is and maybe thats what they intended. Maybe they want us to buy Hula Hoops to find out what they are. The only thing I do know is that you can play with them and they dont have any MSG.

Campbell Mithun

Campbell Mithun shows the world why Advertising is more than selling a product. Ads like this "Above the Influence" and Arnold + Crispin Porter's Truth ads use creativity to connect with the audience. Sometimes serious subjects like drugs and alcohol need creativity to get through the Clutter. This Ad reaches teens in a way facts and scare tactics can not accomplish.

Crispin Porter and Bogusky

Crispin Porter is my favorite ad agency of our generation. No one in the last 10 years have come close to the successful campaigns that Crispin Porter has produced. This campaign for VW once again plays off of the famous "Think Small" campaign which was changed to "Think Big" and now altered to "Safe Happens". All of them do a great job at getting through the clutter of standard car commercials. They bring to light the aspects of a car most companies dont address. Once again Bogusky and friends did a great job.
