“Dropping Calls”, one of the online video spots in Ayava’s Snapshots campaign, relates dropping calls to dropping people, alternating shots of falling employees around the office with shots of Avaya’s X Deskphone Edition phone to make the point that the phone will eliminate dropped calls. The narrator is carried to safety by another employee at the conclusion of the spot. The spot and others in the campagin are running on Avaya.com and Google Video.
