Auto Industry - Advertising

Prior Blog Posts by Date

Commentary on advertising from the automobile advertising. How the industry is marketing products to us. I will also occasionally toss in an example from outside of the auto industry that I think is relevant or is an example of notable advertising and marketing.

 Caveman's Crib!
 

A picture named cavemans-crib.jpgWhile looking at the new Geico Caveman commercial - the best series of commercials in years - we came across the new Geico site Caveman's Crib.

This is a tour of his "crib", #1231. Move your mouse around the screen - note that things light up. You can also tour some rooms. 

Note - there is something odd here: there are two websites which appear identical (the object ID of the flash is the same). But why two sites? There may be a clue in one of the magazines.

http://iheartcaveman.com/

and   http://www.cavemanscrib.com/

Note the reference to his roommate "T", who is in the newest commercial and has a girlfriend (although there is a message on the answering machine to the contrary).

Be sure to see the 2nd Talia Shire commercial on his TV!

And guess who has a blog?

All in all, great (automotive) advertising!

Now when do we get to see his Mother, and when do we learn what he drives?

 New Geico Caveman commercial!
 

If you've been following this series of ads - and an earlier post on my Auto Industry Advertising Blog has links to them all as well as to my commentary, then you'll be glad to see not just one more commercial but two - and a new website as well.

The first is the next official commercial in the series.  There is not much new here other than the appearance of the caveman roomate named "T". But it does also set the stage for the second item below by showing us the caveman party. And that there is an issue between two of the cavemen - one has "cheated".


And then there is a second commercial - with a link to an important site. Be sure to follow the link....
