Not all of the winners will be familiar to those in the U.S. because the slogans are from ad campaigns world wide over the last century. There are hot buttons for links to an example of the ad and any interesting sidelights of the ad for some of the slogans.

Campaigns



Advertising Campaigns are often found in announcement notices in Advertising Age, described in books and web sites on Slogans and Advertising Awards, particularly the CLIO AWARDS for television, which is often broadcast like the Academy Awards (Oscars). ASU does collect books on advertising campaigns. Use the KEYWORD search to find your industry ("automobile", "beer", "beverages", etc.) and use the word "advertising" as another keyword. Older advertisements are more difficult to find because often they were not preserved. There is no index to advertisements at this time.

AdCouncil Advertising Campaigns. AdCouncil, 1999.

We’ll look at the campaigns moving Americans to action today – and those planned for the 21st century."

Answer 2

"Sponge Bob I wanna git wit ya" *full body shudder* It's unanimous and I felt that way the first time I saw it. It's utterly bizarre that the ad with a "small Mexican" character was pulled from Spain ads but THIS is out and staying?!?!?! The King ads have always disturbed me, but this one went too far. It became a Pop-Icon thing to have the "Creepy King Guy." He was in jokes and even a Halloween costume (I question Target's buyers.) Some of the ads had a serial killer essence about them. If I saw that big plastic smiling creature first thing when I woke up, I would scream and run. But this is an ad for kids, it's wrong. I'm very casual about most things, but when it comes to kids, there are just some things that should NOT be done. Ok, I'll step off my soapbox now. *As a side note, I've studied many "unusual" things myself. Try finding another kid who at age 10 had most of the Black Dahlia case memorized. And didn't become a psychotic mess. (No matter what people say about me!) ;P
