Meta TitleBest/Worst Ads Of March 2026. - Copyranter Two Point Zero
Meta DescriptionSo far. Including one ad that made me sigh so hard I pulled a jaw muscle. You'll see.
Meta Canonicalnull
Boilerpipe Text
But first: ***A free*** creative lesson from a classically-trained Creative ( me ). Back in the late 1990s, A&W Root Beer ran a “Thick-Headed” campaign promoting its delicious thick-headedness. There were 4-5 spots, but this was the funniest with one of the funniest lines I’ve ever heard: “THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A MASSAGE?!? I DON’T REMEMBER A MASSAGE!” I don’t know the actor’s name, but he’s made many funny ads. MY POINT, young creatives: THIS is what a BIG IDEA looks like. And look how simple it was—Thick-Heads selling Thick Head. This is how every one of you should be thinking because this is how you help a brand succeed, help a brand be remembered, help a brand s ave money , even. So stop thinking of “clever” puny one-off ads that go NOWHERE. Ad agency: Foote Cone & Belding, Chicago. You really don’t deserve any of my free advice so maybe consider buying a $3.33/month sub to get more valuable hard-earned creative tips. Or stop getting my emails. OK. To this month’s notable ads. Buy or bye, please.
