I like it. I think it's a really well designed advert. Thoughts and discussion?

Missus saw the VF ad tonight and said " why doesn't Ford advertise the Falcon ? " I said " that gets a lot of discussion on FF."
Its a good ad, shows the VF tech and it being exported to America..

Saw it for the first time today. Great ad. The VF looks real nice in Chevy guise driving through the streets of NYC, I must admit.

I think the ad is one of the best I've ever seen. It made me actually pay attention to it. It's hard to make me do that especially with tv.
I was impressed with the way the ad touched on lots of important points (overseas export, the gadgets, 3.3million testing klm etc) so as to cover all bases. A top effort from the Holden marketing team. I'm not going to make a comparison against ford. It's not why I created the thread. I am genuinely impressed by the ad and think Holden did a great job. Thumbs up.

The ad is quit well made and should hit the target audience.
I can see a bunch of Chev grilles being fitted to them though.... "But it is a Chevrolet, the ad says so..." |

Nothing negative to say about it, shows off the new features and presents the VF well.

It made me think what could have been if we had the support from NA like the Commodore has......

It's an Australian built car that is being sold overseas. We should all ignore the badge and cheer it on for that fact.
Great advert...I think most Ford people will be considering "what might have been" if Ford had spent one brass razoo on advertising the Falcon...but as for export, I think the parent company in the USA held a rather tighter grip on Ford Australia than GM does over Holden... |

Holden has always been good at marketing the Commodore and themselves. This new campaign (and the 'Think' one) is no exception.
There is nothing you can say in this thread about Ford's marketing that we don't already know other than the fact that IMO it has contributed to their own demise.

My missus saw the ad last night and said hell is that the new commodore?
I said yes it is.... She replied yuk it looks crap, like it was something designed in Korea on the cheap. I just laughed and changed the subject

Best ever...? Not so sure, for me the entire BA campaign was a win, and the Can't Get Enough Of This still wins it. But the VF ad is well done and credit to them.
Edit: Must be stuck in third was pretty special as well... Last edited by Adamz Ghia; 24-06-2013 at 12:19 PM. |

They could have been cheeky and started the commercial with a cricket player in a blue uniform packing up stumps and leaving the field.
