AdLand is Back
After an amazing 20+ years, AdLand's founder Åsk "Dabitch" Wäppling needed to move on. But that didn't mean this amazing website had to go too!
This radio spot takes an infamous rant against refugees by iconic hockey commentator Don Cherry that polarized our country during hockey season (while there was a hockey season) and deconstructs it to turn it into a positive statement, using only his words.
Yes, it's a clever reversal, a bit like the "Truth" ads from RECREAR that reverses the copy which won a silver in Cannes back in 2006. Except this one is of course based on a real soundbyte, that with some smart mixing changed meaning completely. Very clever.
