When Apple launched the Power Macintosh 6500 and 4400 series, CPU speeds of 300 MHz, 48 megabytes of RAM, and a 4 gigabyte hard drive were considered breathtakingly fast and powerful.

This tagline is all about them, not about the machine.

When FedEx introduced its Saturday and Second Day Delivery service, it wanted to differentiate itself from the U.S. Post Office, whose Priority Mail Service promised package delivery in two, maybe three days. This inexactitude was an easy target and Never on Someday was born.

FedEx’s guaranteed delivery day was backed by its famous money-back guarantee, which served to bolster its brand promise. Turning an age-old adage on its ear, we felt that you could put a price on peace of mind: the mere cost of delivery and nothing more.

We helped FedEx get online with their award-winning shipping application, InterNetShip, now called FedEx Ship Manager. It was not only the Web’s first killer app and a first-to-market solution, but remains a staple Web application used by businesses and consumers throughout the world. Stressing ease and simplicity, we took a Zen approach with The sound of one finger shipping.

We also created two additional taglines for InterNetShip: Click! Ship! Done! and The best package deal for online shippers.
