Are You Inspiring Others?

On Friday, Erin over at junior planner i am, had a great post about how a speech entitled "Brand Heroism: Advertising As a Force For Good" once again made her fall in love with advertising.  The speaker was Hal Curtis, a creative director at Wieden & Kennedy that has worked for years on brands like Nike and Coca-Cola.  Erin went on to explain that just because a piece of business is not pro-bono doesn't mean that it can't speak to social matters and still inspire people to do great things.

Curtis went on to show how a uninspiring brand could be turned around with just one spot.

Beautiful illustration.

Beautifully done, indeed. Love the tag of "your calling is calling"
