Every weekday we bring you the Ad Age/iSpot Hot Spots, new TV commercials tracked by iSpot.tv, the real-time TV ad measurement company with attention and conversion analytics from more than eight million smart TVs. The ads here ran on national TV for the first time yesterday.
A few highlights: Thomas "Silicon Valley" Middleditch once again shows up out of nowhere (this time along a running trail) to plug Verizon. Spotify promotes its library of "killer songs you can't resist" (Creativity Editor Ann-Christine Diaz has the backstory: "Spotify targets free users with scares and laughs in biggest global campaign to date"). And Southwest Airlines hypes its sale on summer fares, with one-way flights starting at $49.
