The consumer-created ad is back. Production company B-Reel and ad agency Eleven, Inc. recently teamed up to create a promotional campaign for Union Bank called Commercial by Design to highlight the bank’s Banking by Design product that lets customers customize their own checking accounts.

B-Reel director Roderick Fenske shot various comedy-driven scenes that site visitors can mix and match to create up to 40,000 different commercial, which will then be voted upon with winning favorites airing as a televised broadcast spot in 2013.
