1969
The Gauloise Campaign

French ads were shifting from utility to art, with a love of abstraction.

Jed directed a cigarette ad featuring a pigeon, a typewriter, and the Eiffel Tower in flames. It made no sense. It won a Cannes Lion. Jed thought it was for his hair.

Mmm... did that actually happen?

Tell us about something that did:-)
