  • Brad Pitt Selling for SoftBank

    Building on SoftBank’s TV commercial branding campaign - the company retained Cameron Diaz for a series of spots to coincide with the official patchover from Vodafone in early October - we notice that Brad Pitt has signed-on for round two. Mr. Pitt does not have any lines, the 15sec. TVCM simply blasts ‘Walk This Way’ by Aerosmith as he is seen wandering through what appears to be a crowded street market in Mumbai.

    Even though the campaign just started on Nov. 30th there was already a 15sec. TVCM uploaded to YouTube, which will likely be removed - again - due to copyright violation request.

    Update: Yup, that ones gone.. how about this version instead.. 8-)
