| Nixon Now (1972 Political Commercial) |
 |
No incumbent president has used television
advertising more effectively than Richard
Nixon in 1972. His ad campaign was a
two-pronged attack depicting Nixon as a
successful world leader and George McGovern
as a reckless liberal. Nixon's positive ads
used documentary techniques to give voters a
glimpse inside the White House, with scenes
of Nixon at state dinners, in meetings with
world leaders, and at work in the Oval
Office. The documentary style gave the spots
a feeling of intimacy and authenticity, and
created the impression that voters were
getting a privileged view. The ads also
attempted to humanize Nixon, who was widely
perceived as cold and humorless, by showing
him in relaxed moments playing the piano for
Duke Ellington, dancing with his daughter at
her wedding, and joking with Chinese
translators.
Nixon's most effective commercials, however,
were attack ads. One spot ridiculed
McGovern's proposed defense cuts by using the
stark image of a hand sweeping away toy
soldiers, planes, and warships. Another
claimed that McGovern would put 47 percent of
the country on welfare. Though created by the
Republican campaign, these ads were credited
to "Democrats for Nixon," a strategy meant to
create the impression that McGovern's liberal
views put him outside the mainstream of his
own party.
Nixon's ads were produced by the November
Group, a virtual all-star team of advertising
executives headed by Peter Dailey, who ran
his own Los Angeles agency, Phil Joanou from
Doyle Dane Bernbach, William Taylor from
Ogilvy and Mather, and an advisory board of
executives from many top agencies.
