Someone’s list of the ten best ads of the year (mainly American).
Posted in Uncategorized
Has it been a banner year?
One of the greats?
A real standout for the century so far?
Of course it fucking hasn’t.
But what do you, dear reader, consider to be the best of the year so far?
(I’m going to cheat and say the viral campaign of the Ice Bucket Challenge. It really got on my tits, but boy was it both unavoidable and effective.)
Of that list, Lurpak kicks the shit out of the rest by a country mile. And it works in 30 seconds, too.
HBO wins it for me. To be honest I can’t remember any great ads from this year off the top of my hat. Few good ones, but nothing outstanding.
I have expected to see these two on the list this year:

I’m rather underwhelmed by the adweek list. It screams of echo-chamberism..
Best one’s not on there.
Honda Type R.
