Dell - Outcomes - (2012) :60 (USA)

Nothing wrong with the execution of the new Dell ads from Young & Rubicam, in fact it looks quite good. It's just that it reminds me of the AT&T you will (at&t 2, at&t 3) so much because this has in fact been the default way of explaining high-tech computery doo-dah magic for almost twenty years. This is your standard corporate ID spot. Dell does it, IBM does it, even dead telco's do it. Directed by Filip Tellander of B-reel, the campaign features a 60-second filmic spot titled “Anthem,” with four :15 spots edited out: “Healthcare,” “Financial Services,” “Small Business,” and “Museum.” That's also standard by the way, make one long spot you can chop up into sushi pieces. Chop chop!
