Crowd Crushing Campaigns

The Fiat Ducato Ads Evoke Claustrophobic Thoughts

With the tag line, “Thinking of changing your van? New Fiat Ducato,” coupled with these awfully uncomfortable images, something seemed missing. To me, a van is a van, so why change?

I’m pretty sure these Fiat Ducato ads meant to imply, “Thinking of changing to a bigger van?” Ah yes, now it all makes sense.

Designed by Brazil-based advertising agency Giovanni+Draftfcb, the Fiat Ducato Ads are amusing, if not overly original. Perhaps they thought that the visual would work with the tag line. In that case, it definitely is a success.
