NEW YORK McGarry Bowen’s first corporate-image ads for Verizon Communications bear the characteristically sentimental stamp of the startup’s creative director, Gordon Bowen, to show how folks stay connected in real-life situations.

The inaugural 60-second commercial, which broke last week, shows a 20-something guy who tries to make up with his girlfriend after a lover’s spat. “Scott” attempts to reconnect with “Catherine” through Verizon services. He leaves 17 voicemails, faxes the message, “I’m sorry,” and even e-mails photos of himself singing, “All I need is you”-a line from the 1985 pop song, “All I Need Is a Miracle.”

Scott,
