Four new TV spots from Cliff Freeman and Partners for Staples uphold the agency’s reputation for comedy and offbeat characters.
In one (shown here) of two breaking before the holidays, a husband follows his wife Christmas shopping. Once inside Staples, he picks up the public address telephone, and, in the form of an “attention shoppers!” announcement, promotes the gifts he hopes to receive. He is finally hauled away by security as he screams down the aisles, “Get me a leather chair!”
A second spot opens with a Staples clerk just as he finishes stamping every item in the store with his price gun.
