NASDAQ-listed companies are the most powerful and influential companies on the planet, and they represent a wide range of businesses that are the driving force in peoples lives," said NASDAQ Executive Vice President John L. Jacobs. These companies have distinguished themselves through innovation and have transformed that innovation into benefits that ultimately make the world better. It is what sets these companies apart, and it is what sets NASDAQ apart from other stock exchanges."

This campaign is all about how NASDAQ-listed companies play a big part in those little moments in your everyday life," said McKinney Executive Creative Director David Baldwin. Whether its something small like not having to drink the standard office coffee to something bigger like realizing that corn can be turned into a viable alternative fuel, the world would be a very different place without these companies moving life forward."
A commercial featuring Starbucks opens in an office break room. A man enters the room with his coffee mug. On his way to the coffee machine, he notices a Starbucks to-go cup of coffee, sitting on the table. He takes a quick look around to see if anyones looking and dumps the contents of the paper cup into his mug in lieu of filling it with regular coffee, looks around again to make sure no one saw, and walks out passing the owner of the Starbucks on her way in. Superimposed on the screen is Monday Mornings (up) 3.61%" followed by Starbucks moves life forward."

Well be in the garage," he informs her. Indulgently, she replies, Cool." Redefining Retirement (up) 10.56%" is superimposed on the screen followed by E*TRADE moves life forward."
A third commercial celebrates life less encumbered, thanks to Gilead Sciences. The spot opens in a bedroom. A night stand is covered with pill bottles.
