Does anyone know where you can find the TV spot for Ideal?”
I found the audio track on for Ideal on YouTube.
Remember the New Jersey retailer that dominated the local air waves with this awesome jingle? Let me know where I can find this spot.
And, of course, let me know what you think of this awesome ditty!
Four years ago, movie industry reporters and insiders proclaimed that after a year of movie sequels, the future film slates from the major studios would be sequel-light. If the intervening years were intended as a unique opportunity to showcase new ideas and the ingenuity of the creative energy at the studios, then Hollywood is in trouble.
Remember Tab?
I’m not a big soda drinker. But I can remember my folks consuming this product by the gallon. It was the early 1970s. I remember asking my mom, “Do you like Tab?” She said, bluntly, “No. It’s pretty bad.”
Years later, I saw it in the grocery store and bought it for a party I was having. I thought it would be funny. Kind of a novelty.
Suffice to say, I ended up throwing away the six packs after the party. Apparently everyone else thought it was pretty bad.
A few years ago, I stumbled across this ad for Tab. I think it came out in 1972. It’s a classic. I can’t believe that it aired. Or at least, I can’t believe that network executives didn’t get an earful from the women’s lib movement.
Check it out.
Let me know what you think.
You should check out this ad. (DeBeers Dandelion)
It’s for De Beers. To my knowledge it never ran. At least I don’t recall seeing it in this market. I came across the ad when doing research for a pitch.
I’m not sure what the definition of “great creative” is. But for me this comes close. It’s beautifully shot. It tells a story, visually. Dusty Springfield’s rendition of “What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life” is spot-on. The commercial is simple yet powerful.
Let me know what you think about this spot.

In the fall, Gillespie Group staff volunteered at St. John’s Hospice. Each day at St. John’s about 500 homeless men find a hot meal. Many are able to shower, change their clothing. St. John’s offers hope and compassion for these men. And many find their way off the streets and are able to live healthy, addiction-free lives through the work of St. John’s Hospice.
Gillespie Group staff, including Mike Gillespie, Sr., Gregg Smith, Debbie Field, Alena Minarovicova and Mike Gillespie, Jr. volunteered by serving lunch. With a limited budget, St. John’s relies on an army of volunteers and supporters which allows the organization to continue feeding homeless men.
In addition to volunteering to serve meals, people provide clothing and deliver prepared casseroles which are the main meals served to the men.

“Cutting through the clutter.” How many times have you heard this old cliché? Even if you are new to the ad industry, you’ve probably heard this before. Read more →
Debbie Field, Senior Media Manager at Gillespie Group, participated in the Susan G. Koman 3-Day walk. Debbie is pictured here as the walk event began.
