Powell's Place  

details
Project Blackhawk, a semi-underground project within the creative department at J. Walter Thompson, was the impetus to create an ad for a downtown San Francisco soul food joint... which the executive creative director loved and green lighted. Then the legal department got a hold of it and basically killed the ad (rationale was that JWT may want to pitch KFC at some point and this ad wouldn't weigh in our favor). Pussies.
