TWBA awarded EFFIE grand prize for iPod ads
Apple advertising agency TBWA\Chiat\Day last night was given the Grand EFFIE Award for its work on the iPod “Silhouettes” ad campaign. “Our Grand EFFIE winner honors a product at the forefront of popular culture complemented by a creative, breakthrough marketing campaign that has proven to skyrocket sales,” said Mary Lee Keane, Executive Director of the New York American Marketing Association.
In addition to the Grand EFFIE, TBWA\Chiat\Day walked away with three Gold EFFIEs (two for iPod and one for Nissan), two Silvers (Adidas and Infiniti) and one Bronze (Nextel), bringing their total awards to seven. The EFFIE awards, now in their 37th year, are the “only award program that recognizes effective advertising and marketing campaigns that have achieved market place results.”

I hate those iPod silhouettes ads. Why does Apple even bother to advertise? The iPod sells itself. I was just in San Francisco last month and I saw those silhouettes billboards and posters everywhere. The more people that have an iPod and the more affordable it becomes…the less cool it is. There is nothing cool about being one of the masses. I have bought over a dozen iPods since June 2002 and I am sick and tired of upgrading everytime Apple comes out with another model.

I don’t think the appeal of an iPod was ever its status as an underground product. I like the iPod for what it does, and I am contstantly telling people about it.
Where does it say that you have to upgrade every time that Apple makes a new model? You want Apple to stop designing new products? I’m confused by what you’re trying to say.

I don’t like the ads either, but you’re being pretty naive if you don’t think they’ve been highly successful advertising.

“Third”...I have an enormous amount of music. I upgrade everytime Apple comes out with a larger capacity iPod. I currently own the 60 GB iPod photo, 3rd Gen. 40 GB and the 1 GB shuffle. I have almost a whole terabyte of digital music.
