The praise just keeps on coming

Here’s an example of the impact our latest Honda diesel ad, Grrr’, is having on other advertisers:

Neil – felt compelled to email Wieden + Kennedy. The Honda campaign has had us singing in the office since it launched and the TV advert is so fabulous that words fail me. This afternoon my boss gave me a mailing he received from you guys – a Hate Something Change Something DVD! I’m not sure I’ve ever been pleased to receive a mailing from an agency before. Thanks for sending it and thank you for creating such a stunning campaign.
