THE SPOT
The :30 "Boundaries" builds on Putnam’s philosophy of responsible money management and of the success that can result from "staying within the lines." A man walking his dog along a strip of oceanside benches, a woman doing a lap within a swimming pool lane, a car tire hugging a corner of a divider line and a girl playing hopscotch all demonstrate the accomplishment and pleasure found in "restrictive" situations. The commercial closes with a shot of the sun setting over a lake as the voiceover states, "Sometimes, thinking inside the box is what sets people free."
