E82: Another Classics Creative Review

Airs September 7, 2022

This week, Henry Gomez and I return to Classics Creative Review with three television spots on The Drum’s list: World’s Best Ads of All Time, based on a reader survey.

We start with a spot from Thailand called “Smoking Kid” by Ogilvy for the Thai Health Promotion Board.

Next up is our review of a spot for Barbie dolls called “Imagine That” created by BBDO San Francisco.

Finally, a spot for John West Salmon called “Bear” by Leo Burnett.

One PSA and two spots for consumer products. Classics all. Maybe you remember them, maybe you don’t. But you won’t forget them after this episode!

“In the future, all creative briefs will be BS-proof and Jargon-free, and we’ll have this summit to thank.”

“I would recommend this workshop to anyone who never has used creative briefs or even if you already do. The tools and exercises given will change your mind on how you create these briefs. It’s an easy and interactive workshop to get through and the instructor was engaging and on point.”
Survey Response February, 2020
“Thank you for inspiring me to be more, well, inspiring! I got a lot out of your session today - both as a brief writer and as a training lead. I bought some of your books on Amazon to share with my team.”
Survey Response April 2020
“I loved that Howard came in hot and pushed us out of our comfort levels. He called marketers out on things we can do better. The existing…creative brief process has been painful for our creatives, but also for our marketing teams as well. But from this exercise, we have all learned that the creative brief process truly needs to be collaborative.”
Survey Response July, 2020
“Great reminder of what the creative brief is supposed to do and how to get there! Thanks!”
McGuffin Mornings attendee
“Valuable information about how others develop briefs. Big emphasis on what really matters and our own team’s input was very important/helpful.”

“He hits at the key points that really make a creative brief easy to tackle and execute.”
Survey Response November, 2021
“As someone who doesn’t write briefs, I never knew how helpful this would be. This will help me ask better questions and push my teammates so we can create better work.”
