Verizon Wireless "Towers"

Leaders from Glossier, Shopify, Mastercard and more will take the stage at Brandweek to share what strategies set them apart and how they incorporate the most valued emerging trends. Register to join us this September 23–26 in Phoenix, Arizona.

“Verizon’s signal. There to ensure the most powerful transmitter is you.” This spot certainly packs a potent visual metaphor to illustrate that point, with cellular transmitters suddenly bursting loose from trucks, parking meters and the sides of buildings. The transformations are quite well done. Yet, they’re also kind of scary, yielding a breed of omnipresent techno-beasts of Orwellian proportions, cleverly hidden and always geared to strike. They’re reminders that virtually everything we do and say can be monitored anywhere, at anytime, by pretty much anyone … for purposes that may not always be benign.
