David Kennedy, The man behind Nike’s “Just Do It” slogan

According to FORBES

In the 2009 documentary Art & Copy—a film about advertising and the industry’s icons—there’s a scene where Wieden+Kennedy Co-Founder David Kennedy stands in front of a wall at the famed agency’s office in Portland, Oregon. Behind the ad man are 100,000 plastic push pins that spell out “Fail Harder,’’ one of his favorite phrases.

“It took them four days and four nights nonstop to do this,” he tells the camera. “The background is made of push pins. The easy way would be to do the lettering as push pins and leave the wall blank. They chose the hard way. It’s a perfectly executed concept, and I think this should be here forever. It’s like Babe Ruth trying to hit a home run: I mean it’s like if you miss, you miss, but at least you swung the bat as hard as you could.”

During a celebrated career crafting campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands, Kennedy hit quite a few home runs of his own. Even some grand slams. But this past weekend, the advertising heavy hitter hung up his bat for the very last time.

Kennedy—one of the legends behind the original “Just Do It” campaign that helped make Nike famous—died on Sunday at the age of 82. Wieden+Kennedy confirmed the news on Tuesday and in tribute temporarily switched the company name on the website and social media platforms to “Kennedy+Wieden.”

Rest in peace Mr Kennedy

I’m so lucky to have such talented clients. #Davidkennedy is an #artist #drummer #tinker #dancer & #fool in the positive sense of the word. His cards are #fineart with #whimsy always found somewhere in it. His friendship lights my heart. Hope you find some whimsy in this time of loss. #laughteristhebestmedicine #energyinmotionbook #intuitiveartsandsciences #workwithlove #lovewhatyoudo #givejoy #createbeauty (at Utica, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B--XU23Hb4u/?igshid=1v58mvx7k6x4c

FUCK. @angelsandairwaves do it again. “Rebel Girl” is an amazing single, the song drinks new wave influences like a baby (You know...) particularly it seems like a break with a girlfriend as I could say that the song carries all the magic that had “Dogs eating Dogs” of @blink182 why would it be like “Pretty little girl” pt.2 ? Anyway I don’t want to say anything with this, as @tomdelonge participated in both projects (I wouldn’t go into stupid conversations) simply that would join the two songs and would be perfect. What is most noticeable is the U2’s influence in all the fucking aspects, will Be Tom the new Bono of the Aliens? #AlienCauses . . . . . A rebels joke: In tonight’s debate Trump said we can’t trust the rebels. I’m not surprised; he has always reminded me of Emperor Palpatine. . . . .
