Sally Hansen Commercial Early 2000s

 Sally Hansen (1908 – December 16, 1963) was an American businesswoman, inventor, dancer, actress, and writer. She was the eponymous founder of Sally Hansen, Inc., a manufacturer of women's nail and beauty products.

After her early career as a dancer, Hansen took over her parents' failing cosmetics company and reinvented it as House of Hollywood in partnership with her husband and her brother. By the early 1940s, Hansen expanded House of Hollywood to include 26,000 square feet (2,400 m2), the largest private brand cosmetic house in Southern California. She was also made president of the California Cosmetics Association, its first female chair.

Hansen's success with House of Hollywood led her to be offered the chance to expand through S. H. Kress & Co. Under the label, La Bonita, she created the products Cool Off (make-up designed to not run in the heat) and Film Tone, inspired by the makeup she knew from film sets.

In 1946, Hansen quit House of Hollywood and left Hollywood to create her own eponymous beauty company in New York City, Sally Hansen Inc., with a logo modelled on her own signature. Its first two trademarks were Hard As Nails and Mend-A-Nail. Hansen employed mostly women in her factory – championing and supporting women in the workforce.

Hansen sold the brand in 1962 to Maradel Products. The brand eventually became the number one nail brand in the United States, and, as of 2017, was distributed in over 55 countries.

Febreze Commercial Early 2000s

The name "Febreze" is a portmanteau of the words "fabric" and "easy." The company conducted extensive consumer testing and found customers prefer the spelling "Febreze" over "Febreeze," the latter of which came out of an internal suggestion to combine the words "fabric" and "breeze." The fabric refresher product has been sold in the United States since June 1998, and the line has since branched out to include air fresheners (Air Effects), plug-in oil (Noticeables), scented disks (Scentstories), odor-eliminating candles, and automotive air fresheners.

The Sony Store Commercial 1998

 From a 2014 Verge article:

Sony has announced that it will shutter 20 of its 31 retail stores in the United States by the end of 2014. The move is an attempt "to further streamline costs and continue focus on existing partner relations." Essentially, Sony has realized it's wasting money and other resources by pumping them into its limited US retail presence — especially when most consumers either buy online at Amazon or head to other stores like Best Buy for the company's items. "While these moves were extremely tough, they were absolutely necessary to position us in the best possible place for future growth," said Mike Fasulo, president and COO of Sony Electronics in a press release.

The closures come as part of a large, wide-reaching attempt to restructure Sony into a smaller, more focused company. Sony previously announced that it intends to eliminate 5,000 jobs globally; 1,000 of those cuts will hit US workers by year's end. Six Sony Store locations have already been closed since the start of this year.
