Leo Burnett Heritage

Leo Burnett opened his advertising agency during the great depression in Chicago IL, in 1935.

To brighten up the office on opening day, he placed a bowl of apples on the receptionist's desk. A local newspaper columnist mockingly wrote that it wouldn't be long before Burnett would be selling apples on the street corner instead of giving them away.

Clearly thats not the case more than 90 years later. To honor Leo’s 90th anniversary we created a collectable heritage collection that embodies the spirt of Leo Burnett.
