In this tongue-in-cheek promo for the Twice the Price Store, a local business owner boasts about his brilliant idea–a store that charges you twice as much for everything, conveniently located right next to Verizon where “you’re already paying twice as much” as you would for Sprint.
The promo is replete with customer testimonials as these folks are glad to get rid of their money.
Part of the “Don’t Get Hooked” campaign created by Droga5 New York for Sprint, the promo plays like an authentic local TV ad, which leads people to an actual store in Flushing, Queens–a store right next to Verizon, that looks like it was inspired by Verizon, and it charges you twice as much. The grand opening gained consumer and local/regional press coverage.
The promo film was directed by Rami Hachache of production house PRETTYBIRD.

Top Spot of the Week: iPhone 16, Director David Shane “Write Smarter” With Apple Intelligence
Created by Apple’s in-house agency and directed by David Shane of production company O Positive, this commercial is one of two which continues the Apple Intelligence campaign for the iPhone 16.
Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system that can make users look, feel and be smarter. In the case of this “Write smarter” ad, we meet an office worker who leverages Apple Intelligence on his iPhone 16 Pro to dramatically improve his barely literate email to one that is professional, concise and has a measure of eloquence--much to the surprise and amazement of his boss.
This slice of office life highlights the value of key Apple Intelligence upgrades, including Writing Tools which work wonders with the quality of how one communicates and connects with others.
