What makes an ad iconic?  Does that status lie in its ability to resonate across all demographics and generations?  Or is an ad capable of catching widespread imagination because it is inherently iconic?

‍

At the heart of great advertising has always been a great image. But the rise of digital and now the visual web has meant brands are having to dramatically shift in how they engage consumers.

‍
So what if we could reimagine some of the most classic, seminal ads of all time to find out how today’s leading creative thinkers would reinvent advertising?
The book explores how today’s marketing experts would reimagine some most iconic ads of all time, from Go to Work on an Egg to Smash Mash Martians and Levi’s Launderette campaign.
