Apple '84 Mac Ad - CNBC 25th Annv. Report

The 25th Anniversary Of Apple's "1984"

It has been called the best Super Bowl commercial of all-time and certainly could rank as one of the most effective advertisements in history — for without it, the company might not even exist.

Today, Apple's 1984," which introduced the Macintosh to the world is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

Here's a look at this classic spot than ran during Super Bowl XVIII on Jan. 22, 1984.

The ad, which was produced by Chiat/Day, directed by Ridley Scott (fresh off Blade Runner) and alluded to George Orwell's "1984," has a great story behind it. For that, we went to Mike Murray, who was marketing manager of the Macintosh at the time.
