Apple’s “1984” commercial, the Energizer Bunny, and the launch of Air Jordans all have one thing in common. They’re all creations of legendary ad man Lee Clow.
As creative director of Chiat/Day, Lee spent decades making work that transcended advertising and became cultural icons. He shared a close relationship with Steve Jobs, and his Think Different campaign revitalized Apple, transforming it into the brand we recognize today.
As someone whose career started in advertising, Lee’s a hero of mine, and I was thrilled to sit down with him. He shares the entertaining stories behind his most iconic work and some insights into Steve Jobs’s leadership, his rare ability to fearlessly embrace creativity.
This…is A Bit of Optimism.
