Charlex Creates New Spot for Verizon

New York production company Charlex created a new spot, “Notes,” for Verizon via agency McCann Erickson.

Press release from Charlex:

Ah, the sticky note -- that pre-digital-age holdover that is as failsafe a reminder as any to take care of the myriad chores consuming our days. Charlex neatly appropriates this old-school idea in a new :30 promoting Verizon's not-so-low-tech high-speed Internet and phone bundle.

Notes features a colorful series of the old stickies, displaying Sharpie-drawn pictures and key words associated with the Verizon services. A hand occasionally flashes across the screen, switching the notes to match the content of the narrator's message. The spot closes with a slick merger of the old and new, as the camera zooms out to reveal the "sticky note" mural framed inside a laptop screen.
