THE SPOT
"E-Band" (:60/:30/:10) spotlights the IRS’ electronic filing system via a musical/CG/live action Broadway-style scenario. Five computer mice form a music staff, and notes transform into people who begin swing dancing, as the worlds of the computer’s interior and a Broadway-like street merge to create dance floors for E-filers everywhere. The spot’s tune is the familiar "E-file’s the way to go."
Spot broke in January.
