Three simple sentences set up by the question, How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to the snowplow?
Those old VWs were pretty good in the winter, because the motor was in the back, and the weight of the engine over the drive wheels gave the Beetle traction in snow.
A simple but incredibly persuasive demonstration, still talked about 60 years later.
Another commercial that virtually all the creative directors named was for a luggage company.
We've mentioned this ad before.
It aired in 1970.
The commercial begins in an empty gorilla cage at the zoo.
A zookeeper quickly opens the cage door, throws in a red suitcase and shuts the door again.
Suddenly, a sliding door opens at the back of the cage and a gorilla bounds out.
He picks up the suitcase and starts throwing it against the walls.
He bounces it off the bars.
He throws it on the floor.
He jumps up and down on it.
Most people say this Samsonite commercial is one of the best of all time.
But here's the thing.
The commercial wasn't for Samsonite.
It was for its number one rival, American Tourister.
Samsonite at the time had double the market share of American Tourister.
But sometimes in the marketing world, the bigger brand gets all the credit.
When people are asked to remember the best luggage commercial of all time, they default to Samsonite.
