KitKat's Half-Finished Billboard Cleverly Pays Off Its Iconic Tagline

A gem from JWT

Leaders from Glossier, Shopify, Mastercard and more will take the stage at Brandweek to share what strategies set them apart and how they incorporate the most valued emerging trends. Register to join us this September 23–26 in Phoenix, Arizona.

It was 1958 when J. Walter Thompson's Donald Gilles came up with the line, "Have a break. Have a KitKat." Fifty-six years later, JWT London has found a fun new way to illustrate the line—with a half-finished billboard.

Awards bait? Sure. A creative wank? Perhaps. But you have to admit, it's clever.
