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.
