Toyota and Chevrolet each claim two positions in iSpot.tv’s ranking of most viewed automotive ads – the ads that generated the most impressions on national broadcasts and on cable television.
Toyota tops the list for the week of February 7 with one of its two “Start Your Impossible” campaign spots, but only just. Toyota’s “Ice Match” outperforms Chevrolet’s “Taco Truck” by just 714,184 impressions.
The two automakers’ four ads ran almost exclusively during the Winter Olympics, which generated 90% of the total impressions generated between them.
According to data from iSpot’s Ace Metrix survey, Toyota’s ‘Start Your Impossible’ campaign resonates with viewers as ‘inspiring’ and ‘heartfelt’, while characters featured in the spots have been named the ‘best thing about ads twice as much as the industry. standards.
But Chevrolet’s “Walter in Winter” ad clearly takes the lead in terms of viewer reaction. The ad’s overall Ace scores are 15.5% above industry standards – the highest of the five on the list – particularly for “attention” (17.4% above industry standards), “sympathy” (+20.3%) and “visibility” (+11.2%).
Hyundai completes the list again with “History of Evolution”, featuring Jason Bateman promoting the Ioniq 5 BEV. It is the only location on the list that aired during the Super Bowl pre-game segments.
