"Think Different" Competes in Yahoo! Advertising Poll

TMO Talk (0)

Yahoo! is running a Web poll looking for the five best advertising slogans of all time (thanks to Observer Creole for the heads up in the TMO forums), and one of the 26 choices is Appleis famous "Think Different" campaign slogan. The Internet power house will forever immortalized the five advertising slogans chosen by Web denizens in the "Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame."

"Think Different" was the first major branding campaigns from Apple after the return of Steve Jobs to the helm in 1997. It helped launch the iMac, and many have since credited the campaign with helping to relaunch Apple in the minds of consumers.

From Yahoo!is Web site:
