Research notes

The TAC's agency for its first 24 years (1989-2013). Brief lead said 'Clemenger BBDO since 1989'; that is wrong: Clemenger took over in 2013. Creative director Greg Harper and art director Stewart Byfield are named in search snippets (obituary coverage) as writing the 1989 drink-driving launch ad; the Campaign Brief pages returned 404, so the individual credits are snippet-only and not used. Website is the network domain, not fetched. All campaign credits fetched from source pages 2026-10-22.
