What was the ad that inspired you to get into advertising?

Søren:This ad was one of the first that really made an impact on me to nudge me intoadvertising...httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngSUa3cwIw8 -and also drink more beers...Adam:Hamlet cigar - man in photo boothMads:Ended up here by coincidenceTeddy:Can't remember, probably a Volkswagen poster.Mikey:Seeing my first advert in the real worldRob:Can’t remember. We always used to sing “The red car and the blue car had a race” inthe playground, so maybe the evil advertising seed was being planted in our youngminds.Ed:Dairy Milk Gorilla – FallonMarcella:Wieden & Kennedy advertising.Tom E.B.:The ad that actually inspired me to get into advertising wasn't an ad. It was thepromise that I could write and draw all day instead of getting a real job. Thenobviously I saw - Think Small and started to dig deeper from there. The ad I identifymost with is probably the classic old spice one as me and that dude have many thingsin common. We both take showers for one thing.Clarissa:There’s a few I really really love, It’s difficult to say just one. One of my favouritecampaigns is the Harvey Nichols ‘Sorry I spent it on myself’. All of their advertising isconsistently so on point. I also love the Marmite Neglect campaign for it’s humorousand satirical tone.Jaquie:httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeCHu7fTcQ8Fiona:This french perrier ad that couldn't get out of my head.httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfzq3YNdJMkTom M:Hello ladies. Look at these words, now back to these ones. Now look at these words,now back to these ones. Sadly, I can't write as well as Eric Baldwin. But if I stop tryingto be original and copy his style, I could pretend that I can. Where am I? I'm in mybed, thinking about why I can't write funny copy like he can. Look down, what's inyour hand? I don't know, I'm not there. Look again, it's probably not changed.Anything is possible when you go to SCA, I'm still in my bed.

The Australian construction workersone...Eytan:The ad that inspired you to get into advertising?Kenco Coffee- script was genius. Two women indirectly talking about possession-status. I wanted to write stuff like that.Alex M:The Three advert with the singing cherry. Made no sense when I was 8 years old,makes even less sense now. Brilliant.Jezza:Nike - Tim Riley 1993Michael Jordan 1 / Isaac Newton 0Nina:Doing research for my dissertation at the advertising archives, it was a poster fromthe inter-war period which was advertising women to join the workforce.Lawrence:I don’t really do ads. My inspiration for a career in advertising was either thestereotypical 'Mad Men' or perhaps the novel ‘Money’ by Martin Amis - both for allthe wrong reasons.Stephen:Nike. Eric Cantona. "Au revoir".httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JayEFuvlaBsJoel:The Cillit Bang ads. Pure gold.Ashley:Anything from early days BBH.
