Facing increased competition from other satellite TV providers and cable companies, DirecTV is bidding farewell to its installer character, “Dan,” and cranking up the celebrity quotient in an estimated $100 million-plus campaign from Deutsch/LA.
The effort from the Marina del Rey, Calif., agency includes three 30-second TV spots breaking today, as well as one 60-second radio ad and one print execution—all centering around celebrities who are DirecTV customers.
The TV spots, done in a letterbox format, feature actors Danny DeVito, Laurence Fishburne and Andy Garcia giving dramatic readings of actual letters sent to DirecTV from subscribers.
