A dvertising is one of the most prevalent means of getting business in today's culture. Advertising messages permeate our everyday lives as we take a lazy afternoon stroll, drive down the highway, watch TV, or even browse the web. Of course, the best car commercials from the leading automobile manufacturers aren’t too behind in this competition.
But the question still stands, how do you create a lasting impression in a short time duration in the midst of so much information and stand out from the crowd? The automobile industry definitely has the right idea when it comes to this.
The more often an advertisement airs, the more people will see it, subsequently boosting it's success and persuading potential customers to purchase it. That is the gist of how TV commercials operate in principle. Alternatively, having an attractive plot or a catchy plot also zaps the attention of viewers and might keep them from switching channels during commercials.

Therefore, the frequency of occasions may not be the only aspect to consider. It's also crucial to know when the ad will air.
Let’s do a memory recap of some of the best ads over the years.
Bruce Springsteen performed in 2009’s Halftime Show. He made his debut commercial appearance that year in The Middle, a 2 minute mini-documentary commercial. Springsteen, at the age of 71, travels across the heart of the US in his private 1980 Jeep CJ-5, stopping at a church in Lebanon, Kansas, the topographical center of the United States' original 48 states. The advertisement encourages American citizens to find some common ground through this thought-provoking idea. It's given by a liberal music star, which helps push "shared ground" beyond the geographical place (Kansas), where Donald Trump won 56 percent to 42 percent.
Way too many people in the ad business consider "Cog" to be legendary. The advertisement includes 2003's brand new Honda Accord. This advertising is similar to a Rube Goldberg Machine -it also took 7 to 8 years to create, just for the simple job of shutting the Accord's vehicle trunk. The work put into this advertisement paid off well, as it received over 40 wins from a variety of advertising competitions. It's remembered to this day.
Sorry, what was that? You don't know a better way to grab anyone's attention than by parodying famous movie action sequences? Yeah, us either.
This Audi R8 Super Bowl Commercial from 2008 contains the classic horse's head sequence from the classical movie "The Godfather", and it also undoubtedly earned a place in the hearts of movie buffs and automobile enthusiasts everywhere.
This ad is a witty promo for Cadillac's All-Electric Cadillac LYRIQ. On one hand, it is just a hilarious spoof of Tim Burton's "Edward Scissorhands" but on the other hand, the tales show how difficult it must have been to execute. It portrays Edgar's difficulties with day-to-day existence, culminating in a touching, joyful finale in which his mother presents him with the Cadillac LYRIQ, which as we all know, is a hands-free SUV. Despite the fact that this car won't be available until 2022, this ad has piqued many people's attention.
Instead of promoting its new goods, Toyota's Super Bowl LV advertisement uses a unique approach. The carmaker is launching a 1-minute video called Upstream, which stars Jessica Long, a US swimmer who has won the most Paralympic medals in the entire American history. Long's extraordinary journey from being fostered by an American family from a Siberian institution despite a unique health condition that required her to be a double-amputee and then to becoming the best paralympic swimmer ever is highlighted in the commercial.
The Volkswagen Beetle ad is unquestionably one of the finest automotive advertisements of all time.
While the postwar economy thrived in 1950, It's an error of the most privileged to fall prey to their purchasing power. The advert shows automobile manufacturers in the United States and Europe flaunting their wealth. To build a presence in the American market, Volkswagen opted to swim upstream like a salmon and pull off the attraction of "minimalism".
The "Think Tiny" campaign was created with the help of the DDB communications team. It's geared at regular people, as opposed to other vehicle firms that offer a masculine image to the affluent. This advertising speaks directly to its target audience, a more utilitarian and no-frills demographic.
Some marketing initiatives, when strategized and executed with finesse, have an effect on the audience and manage to stick in the mind for years to come. These were some of the few among the best car commercials that have stuck with us too over the years.
