Resort's TV ad is veritable epic (two minutes)
Article Abstract:
Television ads for Atlantis beach and casino resort, owned by Sun International Hotels, and created by Ground Zero of Santa Monica, California, will run for two minutes. Atlantis is on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Sun intends to impress with its 1,200+ room expansion, opulence and ad campaign. Two-minute ads aren't on the rate cards; the rate for an ad during "Friends" in the New York market cost almost $330,000 and took four weeks to negotiate. When rates drop after the holidays, Atlantis ads will go national.
