• Can The Biggest Ideas Fit in Smallest of Ad Spaces?

  by Aman Govil and Cecelia Wogan-Silva

  This year, Internet advertising turns 18-years-old. And yet despite almost two decades of innovation online, digital ads are still being used to simply inform more than they're being used to connect, engage and entertain.It is time to put digital advertising to the ultimate test. We selected four iconic commercials of yesteryears, and asked the legendary creatives behind them to re-imagine them for the digital age. These advertising icons defined the mediums of the past. Now they're back to help shape the medium of the future, prove that great ideas come first, and inspire a new generation of creative minds along the way.The Brands: Coca-Cola, Avis, Volvo and Alka-SeltzerThe Films: No experiment is complete without its lab book. Documented by Emmy-award winning filmmaker Doug Pray, you can watch the process unfold and witness the journey of the five icons as they put the minds and the medium to the test.This session is sponsored by Google.
