Top 15 Ad Campaigns of the 21st Century

[Frank W. Baker]

In 1999, as the 20th century came to a close, the Advertising Age staff set out to examine all the ways in which advertising has entertained, moved and motivated us over the years.

They decided to rank the 100 best campaigns of the century, in a special issue, to celebrate their creativity and impact.

Now, Advertising Age is updating this list with 15 of the best ad campaigns of the 21st Century. In the last 15 years, advertising and marketing, and the media it used to get out its messages, has experienced an incredible upheaval as digital media and interactivity changed the dynamics of how consumers see and pay attention brand messages.
