Stand up to Cancer

Here's a nice, powerful spot featuring celebrities such as Tobey MaGuire, Christina Ricci, Susan Sarandon, Morgan Freeman, Mayor Bloomberg, Keanu Reeves, Lance Armstrong, Jodi Foster, John Williams and Sidney Poitier.

Debbie Phelps Spot

Here is an interesting, simple commercial featuring Michael Phelps' mom.



Makes me wonder - could you do something like this with one of your talent? Obviously it would be different - but the basics could still be there. Maybe its mom talking about how your chief meteorologist always loved weather as a kid. Maybe its a parent talking about how news was always in your main anchor's blood.

Depending on your brand - a simple message like this could really work to soften your talent and connect them to viewers in a way few spots could.

Thoughts? Anyone ever tried anything like this? Is this idea more naturally built to run near mother's day?
