"Dude, you're getting a Dell." The "Dell Dude" marketing campaign has been the most memorable, and successful one over the past two years. The campaign was created in 2000 by Dell's then-ad agency Lowe, a unit of Interpublic Group of Cos. Inc. It switched to Omnicom Group's DDB agency in April 2001, and Steven rode along with it. However, Dell said Monday, October 14th, 2002, that "it's moving on to a new, less dude-centric advertising campaign". (CNN Money)
