If that's not what he's looking for he could try a more proactive route and approach the PR/Marketing department to see if they'd be interested. Or just produce the ad him/herself and put it online, try to get some recognition. As a whole though, a "one shot" ad like that doesn't carry too much weight. There has to be more than one ad to be worth much, you can't "sell it" directly to a company, I don't think.

What would you do if you had an awesome idea for a commercial for a specific product? I mean, you've thought it all out and everything, gotten other positive feedback? A friend of mine with no ad/marketing experience has a great idea for something, but he doesn't know how to get it to the people who matter. What do you think?
