THE SPOT
In the :30 "Passing the Torch," an older man gathers his employees to announce that he is exiting the company and leaving it in the capable hands of his daughter Sarah, who is touched by the faith her father has shown in her. The spot then transitions to scenes of the woman shopping for new office furniture at Office Depot. Back at the newly decorated office, Sarah dusts off a picture of herself and her dad from 30 years ago—when the business initially opened—and places the frame in a prominent position on her desk.
Spot broke in January.
