First ONE: "the train it is,..."


"Should we go with the gruesome farm accident, semi-truck/car pileup, or the 12-yr-old run over by the train?  The train it is."

It was an ad for North Memorial trauma center featuring a little boy, Brian, who's legs were reattached after he was hit by a train.  We started with a photo that is hard to look at and harder still to look away from, and the line, "This is a true story."  Our first Gold Pencil.

Jac represents work that gets right to the point, stays in your mind, and makes you think. Representing Clarity Coverdale Fury with strong work, he remains a classic example of winning by reinventing ideas that are generally difficult to think about.

That's very real. It's nice to see reality win even when it's depressing. It really breaks up the long stretches of either fashionable or comic campaigns.
