THE SPOT
Set to an instrumental version of Madonna’s "Ray Of Light," the :60 "This is You" depicts people in the rush of real-life situations (i.e. traveling on business, getting the family up and out in the morning, and spending time with kids and parents). The spot then points out how AT&T’s Personal Network, a new communications package that breaks down the pricing categories, can make one’s life simpler and help consumers focus on what is important-reaching the people they want and the information they need.
