Ogilvy & Mather's Mattel SCRABBLE Prints

Aside from the popular television commercials Ogilvy & Mather did for Mattel's Scrabble back in 2000 and 2001, they also have a large history in print with Mattel. From 1998 until the present, they've been designing graceful, risible and salacious Scrabble and Junior Scrabble adverts, winning prizes for advertising prints at the Cristal Awards, Golden Hammer, Loerie Awards, Cannes Lions, Epica Awards and FIAP. Without further ado…

"What other game can produce ORGASMS?" -- Awesome. And "Use heroin without facing the death penalty" -- this stuff would never fly in the U.S. I think it all starts with the nude beaches, though. If we have nude beaches, everything else would follow.

That's a scrabble game - world of imagination
