# Autocorrected Car Ads These Honda Ads Show Texts Being Corrected From Car Icons to Honda Vehicles By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-10-21 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honda-ads References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/381000/Clever-Honda-Ads-Use-Auto-Correct-To-Promote-Its-Cars/) & [adeevee](http://www.adeevee.com/2015/10/honda-auto-correct-by-honda-print/) The team at [McCann Tel Aviv](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metaverse-boutique) created these clever [Honda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-courage) ads which incorporate text messages and auto correct to promote the brand’s vehicles. Each ad is simply designed atop a light-colored background. There is an image of a text box that contains a portion of an ordinary vehicle. This is followed by a second text box, which contains an image of a beautiful Honda vehicle. All of these Honda ads have the same tagline, which reads “Auto Correct by Honda, Trade Your Incorrect Car for the Correct Car.” The ads are silently telling the consumer that there is a Honda vehicle suited for each driver’s needs. The play on the word "auto," which can mean automatic or automobile is a comical marketing tactic. Each printed ad is simple, sleek and clever. The use of minimal text and graphics allows the audience to fully grasp the message, without being overwhelmed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Auto Correct Advertising:** Using auto correct technology to create comical and attention-grabbing ads. - **Minimalistic Design:** Utilizing simple and sleek designs in advertising to effectively convey messages. - **Personalized Marketing:** Highlighting the idea of finding the right product for individual needs through targeted advertising. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Using innovative advertising strategies in the automotive industry to attract customers and differentiate from competitors. - **Advertising:** Exploring new creative approaches in the advertising industry to capture audience attention and create memorable campaigns. - **Technology:** Leveraging auto correct technology to enhance marketing efforts and engage consumers in the technology industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheeky Electric Vehicles Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koda-hijacks-competitors.md) - [Cheeky Auto Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/he-got-money.md) - [Hospital Entertainment Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-courage.md) - [Autocorrect Sexual Health Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mrm-ny.md) - [GenAI Car Marketplace Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carro-surprisingly-short.md) - [Dynamic Auto Marketing Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auto-marketing-campaign.md) - [Haute Auto Pattern Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture.md) - [Reality-Bending Car Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargurus-latest-ad.md) - [Emotional Poeticized Motorsport Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unstoppable-dreams.md)
