Default Stop Press - Ford Marketing Produces Good Tv Commercial!!!

The latest Ford Focus Commercial aired tonight through LOST on Channel 7.

For those that haven't seen it, it's a massive silver mechanical box which robotically unfolds to reveal the black/ego coloured focus. The voice over guys talks about the special features, where the camera zooms in to show greater detail. The price is then revealed, $19 990, the box folds back up with a massive Ford Logo on the outside of the box being the last thing we see.

Great ad by Ford Marketing, simple, direct and to the point. It clearly shows what the car has to offer, spends all the time 'focused' on the car and reveals the price with the car still in picture to show how good the deal is.

Fantastic work guys, hopefully a sign of things to come, and an increase in Ford Focus sales

Looking forward to the next ad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Car companies dont actually make the ads, thats what big advertising firms are there for. Wouldnt be suprised if the same ad companies make car ads for a range of brands.

The ad was ok.

Its not really a sports car, you're right it shouldn't be targetted for those buyers but i thought it was a pretty good ad. Ad's are to be taken as seriously as you are taking them.
