New NYSE Spots Are Well-Produced, but Not Disarming

“One market. Infinite possibilities.” That’s the going slogan for the NYSE, a brand so big and so embedded in the American financial subconscious that seeing an ad for it almost confuses us.

This pair of spots — dubbed Market Conditions and One Destination — are chock-full of NYSE listed companies and glorify the speed and interconnectedness so necessary to business today. The agency responsible is Fallon Worldwide, but the smooth production comes from Stardust.

We were really fond of the last spot, which moved slowly and did a better job of illustrating a blooming world of “infinite possibilities.”

All in all, these do a serviceable job of keeping the NYSE salient in ad land, but they’re not especially resonant. It could just be the new narrator. He has a smack of fresh 90s dot-com-ness to him.
