FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Iomega Makes Adweek"Best Spots"
List With New Advertising
ROY, Utah, November 27, 2000 - Iomega
Corporation (NYSE: IOM), a global leader in data management
solutions, was recently honored in Adweek magazine's
"Best Spots" list for October, a selection
of the top twenty commercials appearing on American
broadcast and cable television.
The November 13th issue of Adweek
singles out the Iomega "pool" commercial,
a 30-second spot highlighting the Zip(r) drive as the
essential tool for protecting important files from viruses.
In the ad, a large man floats in an aboveground pool.
"This is Fred," states the voiceover. "Let's
pretend Fred is a file on your computer-he's a thesis
you've worked on for two years." An octopus rises
from the depths and attacks Fred. "A computer virus
has struck! There goes Fred." Fred disappears.
He then instantly reappears in the empty pool, "thanks
to a backup copy of Fred you saved on an Iomega Zip
disk."
Iomega's agency for the ad, which
is one of five commercials in Iomega's new ad campaign,
is Publicis & Hal Riney. The Iomega spots are currently
running on national television.
