THE SPOTS
Three :60s for the data storage systems company EMC—"Brave New World," "Information Invasion" and "Data Navigation"—center on an apocalyptic vision of the future, as a metaphor for businesses searching for reinforcement in a world being bombarded by information. The commercials conclude with the tag line, "EMC2. Where information lives."
Spots broke in March.
