I have been trying to hunt down this particular ad from Daikin for a very long time... The most alluring feature of this ad is the fact it shows 2 of the 36 views of Mt.Fuji as painted by the Japanese artist Hokusai.
It starts with the painting of The Great Wave off Kanagawa
and ends with a modified painting of Shore of Tago Bay,Ejiri at Tokaido.
The bg is "Secret Agent Man" by Johnny Rivers. The song was the theme song of a T.V. show in the early to mid 60's of the same title. The show starred Patrick McGoowan as a secret agent.
ABSOLUT ads are prime testimony to how advertising can change the fortunes of a company. A single ad - The ABSOLUT LA Campaign helped ABSOLUT overcome Stolichnaya as the best selling imported vodka in California. A beautiful set of ads that opened a whole wide world for the incredibly creative folks at TBWA. - The ABSOLUT City collection.
ABSOLUT LA - The ad that started it all.
ABSOLUT BOSTON -- Absolut Vodka cases floating in the water, with some of the cases having floated up against each other, forming an Absolut shape. Photographed by Steve Bronstein, this ad commemorated the 225th aniversary of the Boston Tea Party. A Brilliant concept and beautiful execution - An ad that celebrates the heritage of this city and its importance in the history of America.
ABSOLUT PHILADELPHIA - One would have expected the steak to come out in a vodka bottle shape for this city.
ABSOLUT BOSTON - Another one for this city with a dedication to the legendary Celtics.
I am sorry people, but these are some ads that really drove home the point. We live in mixed cultures where race,colour and faith should no longer be barriers.
History portrays us as separate entities but with global distances shrinking, we can no longer afford to stick with our geography-induced differences.

Andy Lambros was just four years old when he was recruited to sing the “My bologna has a first name, it’s O-S-C-A-R” jingle for a TV advertisement. The youngster became frustrated with the number of takes necessary to get the song just right, and his “How’s that?” ad-lib was so naturally cute that it was ultimately left in the commercial
One of Coca-Cola’s most enduring jingles was also a hit single: “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.” The lyrics were inspired when a creative director for Coke’s ad agency was stranded overnight in Dublin, Ireland, due to heavy fog over London’s Heathrow Airport. Passengers were tired and cranky, and not looking forward to spending the night at Shannon Airport. The ad exec grabbed a snack at the airport coffee shop and happened to notice that at nearby tables, passengers who were strangers to one another (and who had been irate just an hour earlier) were sitting together and chatting over bottles of Coca-Cola. The line “I’d like to buy the world a Coke” popped into his head, and the phrase was expanded into a memorable 1971 ad campaign.
