Do you feel that people around you are polite, but in a weirdly dismissive way? It’s okay, we all do. I don’t know that viewers of this campaign will trust Citi to say what they mean, and do what they say. Nevertheless, I do like the campaign as it taps the right vein, connecting basic […]

There are new and variable factors to the election this year, which makes it maddening and interesting at the same time. Without wanting to forward anyone’s political agenda, as advertising professionals, we do want to offer what insight we can about the use of advertising to win elections. Much has been made of Donald Trump’s […]

Darrell Hammond is back, America. And he is extending a large bucket of fried chicken your way, in hopes that you will buy it. Is this more proof that Wieden+Kennedy/Portland will not be out-weirded? How else to explain the discordant song with childish lyrics at the center of this new campaign for KFC, an iconic […]

Theodore Roosevelt was a Harvard man, a voracious reader and a loquacious speaker. In 1910, Roosevelt travelled to Paris to speak on “citizenship in a republic” at The Sorbonne. Now, this 105-year old speech has resurfaced in a Cadillac commercial. Looks like someone at Cadillac’s new agency, Publicis Worldwide, majored in American history. But the […]

Conventional wisdom says agencies are not supposed to have a style, or a consistent “look and feel” across its body of work for a variety of clients. Wieden + Kennedy isn’t big on conventional wisdom. Thus it’s no surprise that the agency’s new Turbo Tax Super Bowl spot shares a lot in common with a […]

Here’s some copy we can all pay attention to: “Ideas are scary. They come into this world ugly and messy. Ideas are frightening because they threaten what is known. They are the natural born enemy of the way things are.” Damn. That is impressive. Let’s see it in action… The personification of a scary idea, […]

Choosing the right footwear can bring one comfort and a certain confidence, based on style and fit. For example, the wearers of Sanük brand shoes choose not to sweat the small stuff, thanks in large part to the utter comfort their shoes provide. Agency: Ignited in Los Angeles.

“To feel, to really feel, is a rare thing these days.” Presumptive. But I understand. Many of those in the market for a luxury wagon are trapped in a mundane reality that a nice new car will in no way compensate for. But clearly, the Volvo XC60 isn’t for that kind of rat racer. It’s […]

The freakiness of fandom is on display in this new “Copter Caper” from Y&R/New York and Campbell’s Chunky soups.

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

 
As a Seahawks fan, I love that the team and Richard Sherman is getting this kind of prime time commercial coverage. As a fan of soups, the chunky cheese, beer and bacon soup featured in the spot also sounds pretty enticing. Ergo, this is clearly six points for the Campbell’s Chunky brand.
