In this new BlackBerry spot, BBDO makes an exhaustive effort to portray the Torch smartphone as a device that makes the business world more fun. Subways and elevators become roller coasters! Rush-hour traffic turns into bumper cars! Airplanes are toy jets! (Sorry, no licorice-whip escape slides.) The gal who collects your TPS reports glides past on roller skates! Visually, this is an awesome ad with memorable imagery. Still, who wants a whimsical smartphone? Most folks would settle for one that doesn't lose its signal in midtown.
