I see. That narrows down to a USA or maybe a Canadian search.

That Chicago based group that recorded truckloads of advertisements shown on tv stations around Chicago area could have been a potential find for a specific 1980s era tv advertisement.

Do a search with Apple computers, or maybe try Tandy Radioshack computers (IBM clone) in case you are certain the advertisement aired after 1987. Commodore would be out since they were going downhill with the Amiga unable to rescue the company even though it was a decent graphics work related computer of its time.
