Advertising Agencies come up with the ad campaigns for the Big Companies. Then they hire production companies to create the commercials. Then the production companies hire casting directors, who in turn send out "breakdowns" of the characters being cast. These "breakdowns" actually are sent out by a service called "Breakdown Services" and are only available to licensed Talent Agencies. Then the agents at these agencies submit photos, resumes, and sometimes "demo-reels" to the casting directors. Then the casting directors call in the actors that fit the roles they are casting, usually many many actors are called in. Then they narrow it down to the best actors who came in and "call back" these actors. Sometimes there are 3 - 4 "call backs" before an actor is finally hired.
So there you have it!

Mostly Sag agencies, and other agencies, but mostly sag...because they know they have to follow union rules. You won't find submissions for nation commercials online. If you do wow! but don't expect it. National commercials like McD's submit to Sag agents for talent.
