Verizon: advert-top-1 by Wieden + Kennedy Portland
- Location:
Wieden + Kennedy Portland has reunited cast members of the NBC sitcom 30 Rock for two funny spots that show what can happen when streaming goes awry. The two ads feature Jenna (Jane Krakowski), Kenneth (Jack McBrayer) and Frank (Judah Friedlander) as they recreate scenes from the show - but things quickly start to "devolve into streaming chaos" because of a bad wireless network. The spots aim to show that Verizon has the "largest, most reliable" network that won't let "bad streaming ruin a good show." According to the agency, it worked with director Wayne McClammy and key crew members from the show to "recreate the look and feel of 30 Rock down to the smallest details, bringing back all original props, wardrobe and even the original background extras."
