The story of Apple’s “1984”, the most influential Super Bowl commercial of all time.
1) "On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like '1984.'"

That’s the line that signed off Apple’s groundbreaking “1984” Super Bowl ad, which left the audience overwhelmed with its visuals and message.
2) "1984" aired during the 18th Super Bowl, on Jan 22nd, 1984, when the Los Angeles Raiders defeated the Washington Redskins 38-9.

The advert successfully put the Apple brand in the minds of the mainstream American audience.

‘Vorsprung durch Technik’ - The story of one of the best judgment calls in advertising history.
1) Towards the end of the 1970s, Audi was nowhere near as relevant as today. It was only known by some as an obscure sub-brand of Volkswagen. This reality would change over the next decade in part because of advertising.
2) The Audi Quattro, launched in 1980, was the turning point. It’s four-wheel drive system was a dramatic innovation and made it possible for Audi to be in the same conversation as the other luxury performance car brands.

A HUGE thread of Bill Bernbach’s incredible advertising wisdom.
Bill Bernbach is the father of modern advertising. Much of the current structure of the ad industry and the values we try to instill in our work were greatly influenced by him. Most of us wouldn’t be here if not for Bernbach.
1) “I warn you against believing that advertising is a science.”
