You don't know you're in this together unless you are told a hundred times.

I thought the same thing. During these times of uncertainty. I wondered how they got these ads created so fast.

I used to be in the media business. It takes several weeks/months to get ads produced. Then it takes several weeks to negotiate the ad for payment on channels, then it takes another several weeks for the ads to actually appear because all of the stations have backlogs.

It’s mind boggling and very suspicious to me

Amazing these companies still have money in the advertising budget for TV and yet no money in the payroll budget. So BTW, you're fired!

Most of them are your traditional advertisers (car mfg., insurance, etc.) that are already in media buy contracts. They replaced them with voice-over messages about "how we're in this together" or the splicing of some iPhone videos of employees working from home.

They can replace their normal ad with this one in just a few days if they wanted to.

My former employer has ~150 employees but a pretty large client base. They have an internal videographer and graphics person.

They had a commercial-grade YouTube video out to the clients within a week. It's just a voiceover with some stock images/videos they have on file.

It's as if these big companies have a marketing department.
And it's really not difficult to put out an ad relative to today's environment:

"We at (insert company name) care a lot about your well being. We want to know we are here for you, even during tough times."
