Microsoft promotes the Surface Duo with new Feast Mode ad

Microsoft is promoting the Surface Duo with a new ad starring ex-NFL player Marshawn Terrell Lynch, aka”Beast Mode”.

The ad features a modern twist on the usual Thanksgiving day smartphone ad, which usually features people using their device as a recipe book. Instead, Lynch gets his feast on by simply ordering his meal as a take-away while he gets on with his other work.
