“Find something interesting to say and say it in an interesting way” is a founding principle of DDB Worldwide, and when Chicago’s Mars Wrigley needed a clever ad campaign to announce its new Twix Cookie Dough, the ad men and women at DDB Chicago put their heads together and came up with: chickens. Two hens applying the age old “Which came first?” debate to cookies and cookie dough.
