Verizon Removes Gloves, Begins ‘There’s a Map for That’ Anti-AT&T Ad Campaign

October 7, 2009 by: My Way

Ouch. If you’ve been waiting for another flare up in the old carrier wars, here you have it. Turning Apple’s “there’s an app for that” slogan on its ear, Verizon has introduced a campaign touting its network coverage. The ads — which highlight the company’s new tongue-in-cheek “there’s a map for that” catchphrase against tuneful, chirpy music — also boast that Verizon’s 3G blanket is a whopping five times the size of AT&T’s. Does this do anything to dispel the idea that Verizon and Apple may be getting together for that phantom tablet? Who knows, but it’s fun to watch the fireworks. Check out the full commercial.
