When a child reaches the age of 16, many parents are shocked to realize that the son or daughter they’ve always thought of as a small child is suddenly old enough to drive. These 2 US TV commercials run on the exact same observation and came up with a very similar creative idea. Both films have been made in the US and broadcasted in the US.
Une idée qui, elle non plus, ne fait pas son âge! Étrange coïncidence quand on sait que ces deux films sont sortis (et ont été conçus) dans le même pays.

While most of the agencies are trying to define the future of the ad industry, some agencies are still recycling ideas from the last century...
Pendant que la plupart des agences essayent de concevoir la pub du futur (web, réseaux sociaux, mobiles et 2.0...) d'autres se contentent de recycler des idées du siècle dernier.

Good print ideas can make (or be recycled as) good tv commercials too! So if you have a lack of inspiration you know what you can do...
Comme quoi des idées "print" peuvent également faire de bonnes idées de films et vice-versa... donc si un jour vous êtes à court d'inspiration, vous pouvez toujours essayer. C'est plus discret et plus difficile de se faire pincer.

Same visual idea and almost the same tagline "take control...". Why on earth did they made a remake of such a successful campaign that everyone has seen 2 years before? (with a much cheaper photo!)
Même idée visuelle, même accroche presque mot pour mot... pourquoi refaire en moins bien une campagne que tout le monde a vu il y a à peine 2 ans?

There is no need to hang the art director, but still, this idea is really done to death!
Finir sur Joe la Pompe... voilà qui leur pendait au nez. C'est ce qui arrive inéluctablement quand on utilise exactement la même écriture créative?
