In the runup to Advertising Week, online voting has now begun to elect two brand icons for enshrinement on the Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame. (There’s a parallel election for favorite ad slogans.) The Week’s site jokes, “You’ve watched the debates, heard the campaign promises, and weighed the issues—oh, wait, that’s a different election.” In fact, though, one can’t help feeling that the brand-icon election would be more exciting if it did include political-style campaign ads, particularly of the negative variety.
