BBDO has launched a new campaign for AT&T starring Mark Wahlberg, playing off the idea of an updated “terms and conditions” for viewers who want to watch TV everywhere.
“Terms and Conditions” follows BBDO’s “Everywhere” effort in January focusing on the accessibility of AT&T’s DirecTV offering. Last month, AT&T announced the signing of an exclusive deal with Wahlberg to appear in a series of ads. “Terms and Conditions,” and the accompanying “Rooms” and “Unlimited” spots, mark the beginning of that collaboration, with new ads starring Wahlberg expected in the coming weeks.
The 90-second “Terms and Conditions” opens with Wahlberg announcing that “the entertainment-loving people of America have updated our terms and conditions.”
Among the new terms? Every device can function as a television and stream our favorite shows, naturally, including “all that sweet live stuff,” unlimited HBO wherever, whenever, and a certain “valuable and underappreciated public service” that just might put you to sleep.

30 Rock alumni Tracy Morgan and James Marsden (the latter as a dying Teddy from Westworld) also make brief appearances in the spot, which will run in 60- and 30-second broadcast versions in addition to the full-length :90 online. The campaign continues the approach introduced in “Everywhere” of hyping DirecTV’s accessibility, only while that spot crammed as many nostalgic references into its runtime as possible, “Terms and Conditions” instead takes a broader view of DirecTV’s appeal and sticks to contemporary references.
