Probably a car you or I cannot afford... I doubt it is a ford and doesn't have capped price sevices..

or this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqr2-GZwv0o .. This could be a thread all it's own when Ford Australia used to make some fantastic ads ...Really fun and really good looking cars.. Ford utes actually **** all over anything Holden had... This one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeKFXvzPdeA If it didn't make you want one , nothing would..It was regarded as one of the lll time great Ford Falcon ads.. RE The Ford Focus U.S. poxy ad..Look at this beauty from a couple of decades ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKYZi_KyL-M . I found this US ad that shows imagination too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZzXHq7gKN8 Certainly more than the crap Focus ad . Ford used to make funny but effective ads , maybe not so much now.So did Toyota actually . Cheers Rod Last edited by roddy1960; 19-01-2017 at 10:03 AM. |

G'day..I forgot about this one...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKZG96HAWLs They truly were a beautiful car...This is a clever Aussie ad .
This is how the Brits did it way back..You'll need a few minutes to watch though..Quaint but actually a sign of different times https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW58y-2zO3w .There is a similar one done in 1965 for the Zephyr/Zodiac launch... Cheers Rod.. |

This is your comparative add now:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI2_kGk6Dko looks like a good ad to me. Blue dress lady adverts (who I think does a fine job) are all about dealership offers finance etc. not car specific, if your not actually in the market for buying a new car they probably mean little. did they even have ads like this in the time of the AU XR8?

Here's a miracle vid about the Ranger.. The miracle is twofold.. One is it features seven minutes of Asian drivers that don't hit anything or cause an accident..that's a miracle in itself or is that too politically incorrect to say? Secondly is that no-one in this mob ever heard of OH&S. It'd never be shot in Australia like this that's for sure. Check out the crane lift stuff....You'll see what I mean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfVIH_JgFkY .. Cheers Rod.. Last edited by roddy1960; 19-01-2017 at 07:58 PM. |

Fords ads have been garbage for as long as I remember. The rot really set in around AU. Though the ads for the GT were not that bad...

The selling point so they say is about a relationship lol , the dealer so called service they provide is laughable at best.
Just had the lady from Ford call me today asking about my new Ranger and service , well I didn't hold back with my dissatisfaction. ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS !!!! Get your **** together FOA.

Ads need to inspire you to wanting to go and check out an actual car..I'm trying to think of a proper FGX campaign . nup , still trying..a real shame for one of the great Aussie Fords.. Imagine if they'd shown the FGX range a bit like the FG GT ads ..with a simple "Oh yeah'' caption or something...bloody better than the 2.9% finance crap or the 'free loan car mush'...GEEZ... A couple of ads for Focus, Mondeo ,Kuga, Everest and Ranger but not a proper campaign like the good old days..If Ford wanted to brand target the market then it beats me why they don't revisit decent stuff like..... " Have You Driven a Ford Lately" , "Were Moving with You " , " The Great Australian Road Car ", We have ignition " etc featuring the current offerings even the hard to get Mustang and Focus RS in the remake scenes ..Cars go a bit retro classic , why not advertising ? Locally Ford are doing a bit better lately ,granted but... WHO KNOWS...They might even sell more cars than now with a bit more imagination......Cheers Rod..

The ads that Ford do run are basically a lead for people to then research the vehicle further on the internet, something that will inform far better than an expensive, 30 sec ad that most will fast forward through on their PVR.

And to add to this, Ford US!! Just go back from the US & there are Ford adds on TV all the time.. I can't believe the difference from the same company, but in different countries.

The skeptical me is telling me perhaps Ford Australia couldn't or wouldn't waste minimum funds on advertising due to 'lost cause' status especially around mid 2013 onwards given that the closure had been announced. Cannot be certain really but to me the minimalist ad campaigns seem to align with that..The poor old FGX certainly wasn't advertised much at all..Late FG's and Territory's fared a bit better maybe..

G'day csv8 and all.. I just posted links for one of several ads for Ford Fusion and another for one of the Ford Escape in the Videos Thread..There are ads for Raptor , Edge , Mustang , F Series etc etc. without even looking hard at all..most still current.. Looks like Ford U.S. has certainly not wiped the TV ads there just yet as Joe said..
Not too much for Taurus but maybe it's because it's on the way out like our Falcon/Territory was and no point wasting ad money..Who knows and maybe the main reason why Taurus wasn't seriously considered to replace Falcon here and why a bit of a supply of Euro RHD Mondeos would have to do.. Cheers Rod.. |

The Christian name Ngaire is pronounced NY-REE for anybody interested and is mainly found in New Zealand. It could mean fern or flaxen.

It seems like some people here should consider applying for a job in Ford Marketing, as they seem to have all the answers!
Advertising the FG X Falcon on TV when the car and nameplate was already destined for retirement. What could possibly be wrong with that idea? ![]() |
