How many magazine ads can we say that about?! And here I thought I was the only one…

All her works are AMAZING!! Another favourite of mine is the ‘Marilyn Monroe ad – A women is often measured….’ Do you know if Janet does speaking engagements at all?

Thanks and I love your blog as well.

That is fantastic! Did you read Janet Champ’s comment (above)? She’s the writer of this ad. I’m sure she’d be thrilled to know her work had such an influence on your life!

Loved it then (I was 8 when I first saw it in my mother’s copy of Vogue) and still have it now. I travel for work and this ad follows me wherever I go.

Love it ~ Love ~ Love it !!!!

The writer of this ad, Janet Champ (see her comment, above) must be thrilled by so many of these comments about her work. I know of no other piece of advertising that women actually carry around with them – for YEARS! It’s astonishing.

This morning her text reminded me of this Nike ad that I too, like you, have saved a copy of since coming across it the winter quarter of my senior year in high school (Oct. 1993). My freshman year of college, I carefully arranged the the ad on my wall. I would freequently read it as I suffered through my own heartbreaks and moments of love.

I can’t remember the last time I took time to read through it, but it is still with me, safely filed in a folder in my file cabinet. You can never know the power of an ad, until time has passed and you find it is secured and etched in your memory forever and easily accessible with the appropriate triggers.

In my quest to share this powerful ad with my friend I prayed that someone in the universally-connected digital world was moved by this ad as much as I was, but went further and leveraged technology to preserve it so it can live beyond the paper version.

I Googled and my prayer was answered. I am grateful. I will now repost this link to my fb & twitter feed to remind people of this very powerful and moving ad.
