This has been a great year for advertising so we came up with five of our favorite ads of the year, ours included! This is our best of the best list of 2014!
HBO – “Awkward Family Viewing”
Well this is awkward. I love HBO, but there’s nothing weirder than watching a sex scene with your parents. This ad is aimed at millennials and they not only promote their service, but also the edginess of their programs.
Under Armour – “I Will What I Want”
This is a truly empowering ad for Under Armour created by Droga5 starring Misty Copeland, a talented ballerina who was told she would never be a dancer.
Interra Credit Union – “First Vacation”
Life is chock full of “Firsts” and Interra Credit Union wanted to communicate that excitement and anticipation!
John Lewis – “Monty the Penguin”
I can’t get enough of this cute and loving commercial! Christmas ads are like Super Bowl ads in the UK and Adam&eveDDB knocked it out of the park!
Visit South Bend
The music in the ad is inspiring and complements the lively city of South Bend! Who knew our hometown could be so beautiful!
