Volkswagen Beetle ad campaign, 1959, "Think Small" was voted the number one ad campaign of the 20th century by "Advertising Age." Doyle Dane Bernbach's marketing overcame American resistance to Germany's "People's Car," which, in addition to being small, was also viewed as ugly, noisy, underpowered, and uncomfortable.

"I Want My MTV" advertising campaign, 1983, Lois's ad campaign featured Mick Jagger shouting "I want my MTV!" According to "Fast Company," the commercial "got thousands of kids to pester their cable operators to carry the channel," and launched a new era in television programming.
