Ford Black Friday Spot Most-Seen Auto Ad

Ford takes first place in iSpot.tv’s latest ranking of the most-viewed automotive commercials – the ads that have generated the highest number of impressions across national broadcast and cable TV airings.

The No.1 ad for the week of Nov. 18 is a promotion for Ford’s Black Friday Event featuring special offers on select models including the ’19 F-150. It racked up more than 380 million TV ad impressions.

Chevrolet earns second and fifth place in the ranking.

Its No.2 ad is a thank-you to the “real people” who participated in the surveys that ultimately earned Chevy more J.D. Power Quality Awards across cars, trucks and SUVs than any other brand over the past four years. The fifth-place commercial invites customers to fall in love with a new Chevy during the company’s Black Friday Sales Event.

In third place is a spot showing Nissan’s ’20 Altima is so much fun to drive that a man decides to get behind the wheel and answer a friend’s text message in person.

Cadillac’s fourth-place spot invites viewers to mix things up in one of its vehicles this holiday season. Special offers now are available for the ’19 XT4 and XT5 models.
