Good afternoon,
Here is a quick update on the research for the Capital One Commercial. We have found the Advertising Company for Capital One: DDB Chicago.

That is one step closer to finding the of how commercials are made!
So right now these are the facts...

  • Company that is advertising (Capital One)
  • Advertising Firm (DDB Chicago)
  • Production Company (Unknown)
  • Director (Unknown)
  • Locations (Unknown)
  • Actors (1 known, Patricia Belcher)

An update to the update is: I just got a reply back from DDB Chicago for more information.

This article is moving faster than I expected. I would like to thank DDB Chicago for replying so quickly.

Commercials: Start to Finish 1

I was sitting on the couch watching the newest batch of commercials and I pondered... How do commercials get from being an idea to my TV?

In this series, titled Commercials: Start to Finish, I will pull back the curtain on commercial creation, production and placement.

My first challenge is to pick a commercial that is good enough to research.
I settled on this commercial:


Why this commercial? I think this and the whole series is hilarious.

Step one: contact Capital One to find advertising firm responsible.

Some ingredients that are in a commercial:
  • Company that is advertising (Capital One)
  • Advertising Firm (Unknown)
  • Production Company (Unknown)
  • Director (Unknown)
  • Locations (Unknown)
  • Actors (1 known, Patricia Belcher)
My goal is to be as informative as possible so if you find an error or have a question please let me know.
