Today’s top US advertising creatives imagined 35 years from now in hilarious series of web films promoting call for entries to 2015 AICP Awards
Today’s top US advertising creatives Ted Royer, Gerry Graf, Rob Reilly, Tor Myhren and Tiffany Rolfe are imagined 35 years from now in an hilarious series of web films – all shot inside Droga5 New York – promoting the Call for Entries to the 2015 AICP Awards.
Each of them has gone downhill since their heyday in 2015, but the one thing they can hold on to is their success in the early years of the 21st century, which the AICP has helped to preserve. (AICP-winning work gets archived in New York’s MOMA).
‘Craft your legacy. We’ll protect it.’ is the endline.

These are amazing. A good reminder to keep things in perspective.
The Tiffany Rolfe one is great. Brand awareness mumbo jumbo.
Love it
Rob Reilly’s for the win.
So good. Qantas should take a look.
For the US’s apparent ‘top creatives’ to have jointly concieved and written these together…I’m extremely disappointed. They are awful.
smart. funny.
Well some of us clearly don’t have a sense of humour.
I think they’re fantastic. And I bet I’ve won more of those ego statues than you pal.
So Royer gets thinner, younger-looking and a chin reduction. Good casting.
I’m not so sure that this is an ‘hilarious series’?
Ad people write good ads – I’m not sure they write great comedy.
But as a cute call for enries to and ad fest, then yeah, they kind of go okay I ‘spose.
It might be funny if I knew any details of those people’s personal lives, which I have zero interest in at all. It’s like watching someone’s funny school video about their friends, not funny unless you know them. But maybe to America they’re great. Otherwise, self indulgent hogwash.
