Does Apple Know Its Advertising History?

Is Apple’s derivative “Color Flood” Parkour TV ad OK? 

It might be if it was actually better strategically or creatively than Saatchi’s famous 1989 face TV commercial for British Airways.

I see things like this look-alike ad and I wonder if the director knows ad history… Or?

Regardless, look at the Apple ad and then the Face commercial. It was produced at the height of Saatchi’s excellence and fame. I opened every new business pitch with it.

After you look at the ads, check out some advertising history from Revolvy.
