1984 Mac Advertisement
This video practically started the craze to put an ad ONLY on the superbowl...
Interesting to see the 1984 video, seems so 80s now - how this company has matured while still maintianing a showmanship style.

I agree with you. I think another factor is the willingness to take a risk and communicate an idea as opposed to quiet conformity or trend chasing.

You get a brief on your table. Launch the concept of personal computers. Your audience equates computers with big mainframe machines. They don't want to hear techno-babble. You pick up a copy of George Orwell's 1984 and wham! the idea hits you. An all time classic. I doubt many of us would have cracked the brief in this manner or sold the idea the way the great Jay Chiat did

Does the add attachment work yet? This apple ad seems to have hit technical difficulties.Let me know when it's up and running and I'll post my favorite tv spot.

Unlike a worn pair of jeans this ad does not get better with time. It has been over-hyped, and over exposed.

I think you had to be there. But Jesse is just testing the new video system. Why don't you post a spot you like? Just post a blog and then use "add attachment".
