Some action in a commercial is always good: it gives a much more involved feeling to the viewer. A rather bland description or promotion of a product doesn’t stick. It really is just wasted marketing budget: that twist of action (ok, this is Beckham, but still) makes people pay attention. This is regardless of the product or service you are selling. Not all brands can work with this though, so be sure to check what fits the product and brand you’re promoting.
