    The company's "Your Seamless World" corporate ad campaign features situations that "speak to the on-the-go lifestyle of today's consumers and businesses."

    The campaign includes six television spots overseen by Wes Anderson, director of films including "Rushmore" and "The Royal Tenenbaums."

    AT&T also said it will now use orange as its primary corporate color. Ads, company signage and its Web site are undergoing a "color makeover," the company said.

    "The new initiatives are designed to highlight how AT&T helps connect people to their worlds wherever they live and work," AT&T Chief Executive Randall Stephenson said in a statement. "We want to ensure this message is reflected in our brand."
