Reasons to be thankful: The top five patriotic ads for the US
It’s Thanksgiving, so here at The Drum we’re taking a few minutes to look at the best of the ads which celebrate America.
Chrysler: Halftime in America
Starring Clint Eastwood, this Super Bowl ad for Chrysler didn’t mention the name of the brand once. The Wieden + Kennedy ad was described as "Powerful and one of the best Super Bowl ads ever.”
As if the fact it was called ‘America’ wasn’t enough, this ad features a reading of Walt Whitman’s poem…America.This ad was, again, created by Wieden + Kennedy.
American Airline celebrates its troops in this ad, created by TM Advertising, featuring a soldier being allowed to board first.As she moves to the front of the queue, an old man – suggested to be a veteran – gives her a salute.
