Advertising an expensive item such as a vehicle can be an uphill battle, but these adventurous auto ads have cleverly utilized themes of adventure and exhilaration to grab the attention of consumers.
With commercials often featuring only 30-seconds or less of airtime, marketers have to find inventive ways to quickly showcase a product that viewers will remember after the ad is complete. It is through creating a story or visual concept around the product that viewers are more easily able to remember certain ads. By infusing danger, adventure and all-around fun and excitement into a campaign, marketers are able to engage viewers through these movie-like segments, making sure consumers will remember these ads for a long time to come.
From spherical car ads to Sci-Fi auto campaigns, these adventurous auto ads will surely have people paying attention to these wonderfully exciting concepts.
