Golden Gardens was recently invaded by giant clams. Don’t worry, it was a temporary invasion to shoot an upcoming television ad for Banner Bank.

“The Ivar’s clams are in the ad because Ivar’s is a client of Banner Bank.” Katie Robertson with DS&P ad agency emails us, “The ad is one of the connected theme ads that Banner creates and features their clients (so and so knows so and so and they are all connected to Banner Bank).”

Robertson says the ad will begin airing in November, after the elections.
