Branding, Bald Guys and Bluetooth

by Steve Badertscher

My colleague Brad Smith wrote a blog a little while back (Thursday, May 21 to be exact) describing an ad that made a lasting impression on him. It was about McGraw Hill Magazine's classic "Man in the Chair" ad created in the late 1950s. That particular ad has always been on my Top 10 list, as well.

That memorable "Man in the Chair" ad was brought to life -- literally -- with a live staging event at the June 2009 Conference of the Business Marketing Association (BMA). Be sure to watch the entire video as a little twist was added to demonstrate how the timeless message is still relevant in today's social media savvy world.
