Useless Necessity Campaigns

The Peugeot After Care Ad Targets Confused Consumers

Australian advertising agency Arnold Furnace released a comical but genuine Peugeot After Care ad that targets all those quirky and confusing auto questions. For all those drivers out there, it is a well-known fact that, should a car need repair, many reach for their wallets and pull out the credit card and pay for things they did not even know existed.

Lo and behold, Peugeot has come up with after care for your vehicle that will eliminate all the unnecessary expenses. Instead of making you sit down at the shop waiting for the mechanic to install the watchamacallit, Peugeot after care has your back.

The slogan cleverly reads “Peugeot’s menu price service. Don’t pay for what you don’t need," and it is true. The next time you purchase a vehicle, just think of the better things you'd rather spend your money on as opposed to a million other thingamabobs.
