For the Chicago White Sox, perennial underdogs in a city dominated by the Tribune Co.-owned Cubs, it's a way to get much-needed attention. Sox agency Huffman York this month launched TV spots that note differences between the teams. With the teams playing each other this past weekend (at U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Sox), the campaign received plenty of play in the local press.

WalMart also stated that the top-selling U.S. categories were food, hardware, paper goods, pet supplies and toys.
