Ogilvy Johannesburg declare that Duracell "lasts longer". Much longer. While everyone might giggle at this one, the other two inside feel like they're part of another campaign. Also, wind up toys? Doesn't quite reach the heights of the Cannes 2008 Grand Prix winning Energizer "never let their toys die" campaign from DDB South Africa does it?

Come on, sing along! ;)

PermalinkWow! Does that Big Red TV ad bring back memories! Big Red was my favourite brand of chewing gun. And no, it had nothing to do with the advertising. ;)
