A case where advertising did a bit more than just moved the needle a bit, it changed the perception of a long-standing brand. Damn fine work W+K.

Still wiping away the tear tracks after discovering this video collage just now. Bit emotional for me as I just began a new assignment to help build the awareness, define the brand, and raise money for the No Greater Sacrifice Foundation - a charity organization set up to educate the children of those in the armed services who have been permanently wounded or have fallen in the line of duty. Our team is visiting Walter Reed Army Medical Center next week to go interview and meet some of the heroes and their families who weren’t as fortunate as those in the scenes above.

This will be a lot more amusing if you already have the Elmo iPhone app (like I do for my 2-year old daughter.) Either way, it’s a great Proof-of-Concept technique!
