Hugh MacLeod’s Edelman ad

Some time ago I was chatting with Hugh MacLeod about how we might do a non corporate-style corporate ad for Edelman (even PR firms are forced to advertise sometimes by industry publications). He instantly produced this and posted about it. We tweaked it with him so it was more about us here in Europe and this is the final result. What do you think? We love it. Thanks Hugh.

  1. The anti-ad!

    Love it David. Remember seeing it on Hugh’s blog some time ago and thinking how good it was.

    Love how it incorporates a variety of messages without actually “telling” you what it’s about.

    Just need to get Hugh to do one for me now…
