Zero Results

No matches have been found, but this doesn’t mean the work you are looking for is not in the archive. Please use these tips to improve your search results:

  • Use a single search term in the search bar, and then use the filters on the left hand side to refine the results further. For example, if you are searching for Heinz adverts from a particular agency, search for either Heinz or the agency in the search bar, and then select the client (Heinz) or the agency with the filters.
  • You can refine with further filters, such as photographer or country
  • You can also search within magazines or books by first selecting the publication from the two dropdowns above, and then entering your search term
  • Lürzer's Archive contains thousands of adverts going back four decades. All the data for this work has been added by our users, and over time brands and agencies may have changed their names, or work may have been entered under a range of client names - for example, VW could also have been added as Volkswagen. So it is worth trying a range of spellings, as well as widening your definitions and trying different search terms.

We are continuously trying to improve our search so please contact us with any feedback.

Fast-rising copywriting star Sandra Valencia is a creative leader, teacher, team-builder, and frequently named in lists of the best copywriters about. 

A Mexican-American now working at The Basement, Indianapolis, via a stint in Germany at Jung Von Matt, we asked for her fresh perspective on the best ads of the past four decades, to mark 40 years of Lürzer's Archive (despite the fact that she was born only three decades ago).  

Newcastle Brown Ale: If we made it

This is the kind of work that sets a before and after in the industry - I remember thinking "Wow, they really hacked the Super Bowl." I think this led to many creatives finding different ways of doing that and thus creating memorable stunts from Reddit, Tide, and Coinbase.

Skittles: Settle It

I always have to think, does the team randomly throw darts at the wall, and somehow that magically works, or is it just that ridiculously fun and easy? Whichever the approach Skittles feels like the kind of kooky you can taste and never get tired of.

Honda: The Cog

From a copywriter's perspective, I read this line as a beautiful bow on top of an already impeccable idea. There's simply nothing more to say. And I think there's beauty in the simple craft of finding the right combination of words that don't let the last 120 seconds fall flat. Great track.

Sony Bravia: Balls

Again, there's a certain nostalgia about ideas like this. I can almost remember seeing these videos displayed on the many TVs of a Sears. There's enormous joy in 250,000 bouncy balls. I'd love to see an evolution of this today, not that you'd need one. 19 years later and this still holds up, elegantly.

Dove: Real Beauty Sketches

I'm certain Dove was not the first brand to rethink how women were portrayed in advertising, but in my generation, they felt like the first to help us recognize where this vicious cycle started. I'm positive that thanks to the success of social experiments like this, creatives were able to challenge themselves to reframe the way we talked about beauty.

Slowly but surely we'd have amazing campaigns like Viva la Vulva, Like a Girl and This Girl Can.
