LG Campaign Plays Vanity Card

  • 1 min read

In a new ad campaign for its cell phones, LG is either praying on the actual vanity of tweens, teens and 20-somethings or spoofing the whole idea that anyone would actually consider a phone a fashion accessory.

Either way, it’s fun to watch. Also from this week’s Ad Age TV Spots of the Week are spots from the American Legacy Foundation’s Truth campaign, Campbell Soup’s Pace Salsa, GE Medical Technology, Nike’s Art of Speed/Gawker promotion, Toyota Scion, EA’s Madden Sports 2005 and Footlocker.
