Winning Awards & Breaking Through
One November evening in 1980, [TBWA art director Geoff Hayes] was doodling huge Absolut boFles on a pad as he watched The Honeymooners. Atop one boFle, he drew a halo much like an angel’s. Then he joFed down a headline: “Absolut. It’s the perfect vodka.” Hayes liked it, especially the liFle joke. He knew the halo would reduce some of the pompousness of the headline. !The following morning, Hayes showed the sketch to his partner. [Writer Graham Turner] liked it, but he looked at the long headline and asked, “Why not just say ‘Absolut Perfec+on’?” Together they turned out a few more ads, and soon a format emerged: In just two words (the first one always being Absolut), the ad would say something complimentary or flaFering about either the product itself or the person drinking it, and, importantly, add a dollop of humor so the “We’re the best” claim wouldn’t be quite so boring or preten+ous.

Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works.

Moving The Needle + (Hearts & Minds)
"He lives vicariously through himself." !Through mid-‐June, a period when imported beer sales dropped 11%, sales of Dos Equis rose more than 17%, moving the brand into eighth place among imports (in a %e with Stella Artois), when shipments rose 13%. !That success prompted Heineken execu%ves, who had been running the ads since 2007 in a few stronghold markets for the brand, to take the message na%onal this spring. "There's never really been an import brand that's been built so clearly through adver%sing," said Benj Steinman, publisher of Beer Marketer's Insights. !And the campaign, which snared a Titanium Lion at Cannes this year, has also made its way into bars, restaurants and nightclubs. "We hear people saying the lines in bars all the %me," said Jim Doney, president of Chicago Beverage Systems, a major wholesaler of Heineken, MillerCoors and Crown Imports beer brands, who credits the marke%ng for his 32% boost in Dos Equis sales this year.

Moving The Needle + (Hearts & Minds)
Consider for a moment the manly purr of Old Spice spokesman Isaiah Mustafa's "Hello, Ladies" saluta%on. It's seduced the country social media-‐style: 94 million views on YouTube, 630,0000 Facebook fans, and an es%mated 1 billion aggregate impressions in just one week. !But wait. It appears consumers may have been too distracted by his glorious swan dives and monocle smiles to remember the actual product he was hawking. Sales of Red Zone body wash have actually declined 7% according to a report by SymphonyIRI. !And the towel-‐clad and deep-‐voiced Mustafa may have not even contributed to Old Spice's overall sales growth, which Ad Age chalks up to a high-‐value coupon campaign by the company. Both Nivea and GilleLe saw similar if not higher growth during that period, and neither had the help of Mustafa—just coupons.
