New Anti-Tobacco Commercials to Air During the Super Bowl [01/21-3]

Excerpts from: Anti-Tobacco TV Fits Upbeat Mood of Super Bowl

By Alicia Griswold Adweek [01/20/04]

Two new anti-tobacco spots for the American Legacy Foundation were created to air on Super Bowl XXXVIII.

The 30-second "Shards O'Glass," from Havas' Arnold, Boston, and MDC Partners' Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Miami, will play during the Feb. 1 game's fourth quarter. A 60-second ad will also air on a CBS pre-game show.

The effort asks viewers to imagine what life and commercials would resemble if all companies sold products like tobacco, according to the Washington, D.C.-based client. The spot, named for a fictitious company that sells ice pops studded with glass shards, parodies upbeat commercials likely to air on the Super Bowl.

A source said the client decided against using spots from the current campaign, a serious focus on Big Tobacco's need for replacement smokers, because that work did not fit the mood of the game.
