'What's Going On 50th'

50 years ago, Marvin Gaye released one of most powerful and significant albums of all time: “What’s Going On.”These ads were created for the Motown Museum to commemorate this musical masterpiece that, unfortunately,is still as relevant in 2021 as it was in 1971. This campaign shows the shocking similarity of real-life events that happened 50 years apart. We used editorial stock photography that chronicled the actual events of their respective eras.
