When creating an international spot for an iconic brand, it’s important to make the message simple. Egan/St. James Advertising in Pittsburgh does exactly that with a new spot for Zippo Manufacturing Inc., makers of the famous lighter, that is targeted for use outside of the U.S.
The spot links two American icons: Zippo and the Statue of Liberty. In the commercial a gust of wind blows out Miss Liberty’s torch, forcing a security guard to clamber to the monument’s crown and relight the beacon with his Zippo.
