Chevrolet is using "An American Revolution" as its tag line for a major new ad campaign that began Friday, Dec. 19. Chevrolet is trying a new tone with the ads: "acceptable rebellion," said Kim Kosak, Chevrolet's general director for advertising and sales promotion, at a press event here last week. She described the campaign's message as "confident without being arrogant and fun at the same time."

US government sponsors ad campaign for breastfeeding. The overall goal of the campaign is to increase the proportion of mothers who breastfeed their babies in the early postpartum period to 75% and those within 6 months postpartum to 50% by the year 2010. Ads have been created by the Ad Council in NYC. I had no idea there was a government group doing this. Odd.
