Ball Bounces Alone in New Converse Spot

It’s About the Ball

Among the commercials in this week’s Ad Age TV Spots of the Week, is a spot for Converse, created by Modernista in Boston, that leaves out celebrity in favor of the highlighting the ball. Very clever. There’s also a strange spot from Dairy Queen that tries to pass off an old dude as one of three cute triplets, a spot for Verizon’s new photo-phone in which a kid uses the feature to trick his parents into thinking he is not having a party while they are gone on vacation, a spot for Compass Bank poking fun at throwing money away, and a spot promoting the iPod equipped Volkswagen Beetle.
