#60yearsTVads: Grey London's Nils Leonard on ads made to move you
Continuing Marketing's series celebrating the 60th anniversary of TV advertising in the UK, the ads that drew him to advertising (and elevated his sexual technique from "average petting" to "below par foreplay"); his favourite ad of all time (the clue's in the picture); and the impact he thinks technology will have on TV.
You only need look to the new wave of highly produced, beautifully crafted magazines to find inspiration. Technology hasn’t hurt print, but it has brutally murdered bad print. Technology has made print better. Better designers. Better writers. Better photographers. Better editors. All linking to online properties and moving image like never before.

Rugby World Cup 2015 ads: the best so far
The Rugby World Cup is just around the corner, promising thrills and spills – and that's just for our commute to Haymarket's office in Teddington.
Still, at least the tournament has delivered some stellar work to date, which , dear reader.
We were rather taken by this ad by DDB New Zealand for Steinlager. The brief was "to inspire New Zealand through Steinlager for the Rugby World Cup" and this was the result.
The Originals were the first New Zealand team to tour the UK, losing only one in 35 games, and the underdog story mirrors New Zealand’s hopes for the Rugby World Cup 2015. Who doesn't love an underdog?
