The iconic text ‘A Diamond is Forever’ was penned by copywriter Frances Gerety at the NW Ayer agency in Philadelphia, while it quickly became the foundation for an extensive print media campaign on behalf of De Beers © McGraw Hill, LLC 30 Some Of The Most Iconic Advertising Campaigns Of All Time US Military – I Want You (1916) Next up is a similar iconic, but highly controversial, military campaign and one that sought to recruit citizens for the US forces during World War I. In a striking print ad, ‘Uncle Sam’ points an imposing and accusing finger at viewers, reinforcing the idea that eligible citizens had a moral responsibility to join the forces and commit to the international war effort. Similar to the UK campaign that featured a striking image of Lord Kitchener and the text ‘Wants You’, such ads highlight the global conscription drive and were highly inspiring and influential in encouraging citizens across a broad range of demographics to join in the war effort. © McGraw Hill, LLC 31 Some Of The Most Iconic Advertising Campaigns Of All Time Nike – Just Do It (1988) Back in 1987, sports brand Nike hired the marketing agency Wieden + Kennedy to develop its first major television campaign, which featured a broad selection of commercials for running, walking, cross-training, basketball and women’s fitness. However, each spot was conceived and developed by a different creative team, creating disparate and disjointed campaigns that did the brand little justice. So, the night before the ads were first run, agency founder Dan Wieden decided that a unifying tagline was required to create a more holistic campaign that could drive brand recognition. So, ‘Just Do It’ was born, with this simplistic but impactful and active slogan introducing an emotional hook to help engage potential customers. Incredibly, the slogan has also evolved to become one of the most iconic in history, while Nike continues to use it extensively to this day. © McGraw Hill, LLC 32 Some Of The Most Iconic Advertising Campaigns Of All Time Apple – Get a Mac (2006) The Apple brand has always been synonymous with classic simplicity, from its clean and sleek products to the now iconic brand. Such values also underpinned Apple’s renowned ‘Get a Mac’ campaign in 2006, which successfully marketed the brand’s flagship laptop as being a preferable and more contemporary alternative to the classic Windows PC. Set against a white backdrop, the ad features two men, one of whom is casually dressed and introduces himself as ‘Mac’. The other character is more formally dressed and relatively buttoned-down, while he describes himself as being a PC. The ads feature various scenarios that highlight the superiority and enhanced functionality of the Mac, while cleverly associating PC and Windows users with the unpopular ‘nerd’ cliche. By simultaneously presenting the Apple Mac as an improved and cooler option, the ads achieved huge success and superbly clarified the brand’s preferred, premium position in the marketplace. © McGraw Hill, LLC 33 POLLING QUESTION 3 Which element of the marketing mix relates to moving products efficiently from producers to consumers?
