Pressbyrån cuts its logo in half for press freedom

Swedish convenience chain Pressbyrån was founded to distribute newspapers and describes itself as rooted in journalism. On World Press Freedom Day, it partnered with Reporters Without Borders to send a powerful message – replacing half its logo with real frontline images.

The images were executed in collaboration with photographers Abbas Momani, Jaafar Ashtiyeh, Abed Zagout, and Mohamed Asad.

Where’s the Beef? 10 Classic Burger Ads

Where’s the Beef? 10 Classic Burger Ads

Forget tariffs. Let’s talk about a far more vicious global trade war: The Burger Wars. 

They’ve been raging for decades, and the only casualties (beyond the cows, that is) have been society’s collective waistline and, occasionally, ad agencies’ good sense. 

Every burger brand has brought different weapons to the fight, and their arsenals have evolved significantly over time. Here’s your Burger Wars retrospective, courtesy of the AdLand archives. (Cue the Ken Burns music.)

Burger King – Make It Special for My Girl (1980) :30 (USA)

Once upon a time, burger advertising was simpler. Wholesome, even. The year was 1980, and the surprisingly touching brand message was brought to you by Burger King. 

https://adland.tv/burger-king-make-it-special-my-girl-1980-30-usa/ 

Over the next three decades, something—changed. 

BK / Burger King – The King's Gone Crazy – (2010) :40

The BK King, birthed by CP+B in 2004, was always unsettling. Eventually he went downright mad. 

https://adland.tv/bk-burger-king-kings-gone-crazy-2010-40/

Jack in the Box – Declaration of Delicious (2016) :30 (USA)

Amid the chaos wrought by the rise of BK’s creepy royalty, it’s little wonder that Jack in the Box chose to stick with its comparatively sane leadership for so long.

https://adland.tv/jack-box-declaration-delicious-2016-30-usa/

Wendy's – Where's the Beef x2 – Supervisor & Question – (1984) :60 (USA)

And then there was Wendy’s—a quieter burger combatant, whose greatest weapon was always pointing out the shortcomings of others. In 1984, the brand asked an important question:

https://adland.tv/wendys-wheres-beef-x2-supervisor-question-1984-60-usa/

Wendy’s – Iceberg – (2018) :30 (USA)

34 years later, essentially the same competitor-shaming tactics were being employed: 

https://adland.tv/wendys-iceberg-2018-30-usa/

(I guess there’s something to be said for playing the long game, given that Wendy’s at last surpassed Burger King in per-store sales in 2023.) 

Hardee's – Spicy Paris (2005) 0:30 (USA)

Meanwhile, every war has a wild card—a nothing-to-lose kamikaze-style fighter whose actual damage pales in comparison to the fear they strike in the hearts of their enemies. In the Burger Wars, that’s always been Hardee’s…

https://adland.tv/hardees-spicy-paris-2005-030-usa/ 

Carl's Jr – Bikini – Audrina Patridge / Teriyaki Burger – (2009) :30

Except, of course, when it was Carl’s Jr.

https://adland.tv/carls-jr-bikini-audrina-patridge-teriyaki-burger-2009-30/

Carl's Jr “Natural Beauties” (2015) :30 (USA)

But surely sex only sells for so long? Not according to Carl’s Jr., who eventually took the concept of food porn to a new level. 

https://adland.tv/carls-jr-natural-beauties-2015-30-usa/

McDonald's – Lonely Burger (2006) 0:30 (Canada)

And where, then, was the undisputed champion in all of this? Surely the never-truly-threatened dominance of McDonald’s was built on a foundation of never-wavering advertising wins?

Well, they weren’t all winners. Some were just—sad, really.

Boston Pizza Canada "BP in Bed" (2018) :40 (Canada)

Introducing the world’s first pizza box designed to eat pizza in bed.

Chick-fil-A – Michelangelo – (2016) :30 (US)A

Chick-fil-A - Michelangelo - (2016) :30 (US)A
Erich & Kallman, a new San Francisco-based advertising agency, is launching a new national advertising campaign for Chick-fil-A using famous historical figures to teach us that chicken for breakfast is not so crazy. It’s a long way from those cows climbing on billboards everywhere. It’s all TV and all odd, here’s Michelangelo being “this guy”. Just quirky enough to stick out pf the clutter but tame enough to not offend anyone.

“The campaign is a really fun way to go right at the inherent tension, as choosing chicken for breakfast isn’t an obvious option to many right now.” said Creative Director and agency co-founder Eric Kallman. “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Chick-fil-A on such a big campaign.”

Chick-fil-A – Beethoven's song – (2016) :30 (USA)

Chick-fil-A - Beethoven's song - (2016) :30 (USA)
Remember in the 80’s when people had answering machnines messages playing “nobody is home… nobody’s hooooooome” to the tune of Beethoven? This is a bit like that, except about chicken.

McDonald's "Gvavicheese VA" (2016) 1:26 (France)

This ad is a spoof of Gravity. And it is hilarious. Dabitch quipped that French food is so good they have to make really good McDonald’s ads to make up for it. I tend to agree.
“Are their pickles on there?”
“You know there are pickles, man!”
The rug pull at the end is also decidedly French. I’m freaking lovin’ this.

McDonald's "Unbelievably huge" (2016) :30 (Ireland)

For the first time ever, McDonald’s is launching its Monopoly promotion globally. In Ireland, this is big news. No, strike that. It’s huge news.

Black Forest Organics "Streaker" (2016) :30 (USA)

The Real Gummies of the Black Forest are back. In this episode, the parents are strolling causally through the forest when they discover their song and his friends are taking the whole “au naturel” thing a bit too far. That’s right, they are streaking. And it’s even pixilated. Hehehe. And while the mom is all pearl clutchy, the dad is proud of his son. Which is only slightly creepy. This looks like it was quite the fun campaign to work on.

Dairygold "#MakeaMinute" (2016) 1:00 (Ireland)

Dairygold butter is spreadable, right from the fridge saving you time with its convenience. Question is, what will you do with that extra time? This spot answers the questions in a series of vignettes featuring friends, family, loved ones, music, and all the other cool things you could be doing instead of waiting for your butter to get to spreadable consistency. Neat trick of balancing a lifestyle message with product benefit here.

McDonald’s “Passengers” (2016) :15 (USA)

McDonald’s “Passengers” (2016) :15 (USA)
You can’t choose who sits next to you on an airplane, lord knows. But at least you can choose two of your favorite meals from McDonalds. This is quite a relatable spot.

McDonalds “Parents” (2016) :30 (USA)

McDonalds “Parents” (2016) :30 (USA)
You can’t choose how cool your parents are, but you can choose two of your favorites at McDonalds. I like the dad’s logic: Of course it’s a selfie. I took it myself.

Ghirardelli "Bestdressedsnack" (2016) :15 (USA)

Update your snack style with Ghirardelli ‘s milk chocolate covered cashews with seal salt added. Not sure about making “Update your snack style,” a thing, but if you offered me a handful of these guys, I wouldn’t say no.

Daiya "Cheesier than ever" (2016) :15 (USA)

Here is the endless sitcom laugh track spot for Daiya pizza, in 15 second format, instead of the 60 second. Which works better? Which is funnier? You decide.

Daiya "Cheesier than ever" (2016) :60 (USA)

Daiya is a cheese substitute but that doesn’t mean it still isn’t cheesy. In this fake sitcom we see a wife who has made a pizza with Daiya and her husband says to her “Pizza? Now that’s a thing I enjoy,” followed by 50 seconds of studio laugh track. I guess it could have been funnier if the opening dialogue was even halfway approaching the husband making a joke, but instead, no, it’s just bad acting and innocuous dialogue followed by 50 seconds of laughing. It’s a very nice take on the cheesiness of sitcoms. The upshot is that now I know Daiya is pronounced like Day-Ah, and not Die-ah, so at least I learned something.

Black Forest Organics "Enhancements" (2016) :30 (USA)

The real Gummies Of The Black Forest are back and this time they, well…let’s just say “Got your nose,” will have a completely different meaning after you watch this.

Black Forest Organics "Dinner" :30 (2016) (USA)

This spot stars The Real Gummies of the black forest. A quasi-reality TV family who are humblebragging about the fact they are organic. Best line “Why is dad always saying he’d like to take a bite of Mrs Johnson’s…?” Funny stuff. Although the Gummie Dad need to be slapped for teaching Gummie privilege to their child. In the next episode, we’ll watch as he declares words like “sugar,” and “gelatin,” to be trigger words never to be uttered in his presence. He’ll then demand safe spaces on his little Gummie college campus.
