Ford Holiday Spot Repeats As Most-Seen Auto Ad

Four of the top five spots for the week of Nov. 25 promoted holiday sales events, led by a Ford promotion that ran through Dec.1.

For a second consecutive week, an ad for Ford’s Black Friday sales event was iSpot.tv’s most-viewed automotive commercial – generating the highest number of impressions across national broadcast and cable TV airings.

Four of the five spots for the week of Nov. 25 promoted holiday sales events, led by the Ford promotion that ran through Dec.1. It featured 20% “estimated savings” on select models, plus a chance to earn complimentary maintenance through FordPass Rewards.

At No.2 was Jeep’s commercial for its Black Friday Sales Event, offering employee pricing on certain vehicles, including the Grand Cherokee, to all customers.

In Chevrolet’s third-place ad, company spokesman Potsch Boyd thanks the “real people” who completed surveys that ultimately earned the company more J.D. Power Quality Awards across cars, trucks and SUVs than any other brand over the last four years.

This commercial has the best iSpot Attention Index (123) in the ranking, getting 23% fewer interruptions than the average auto ad (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).

The fourth-place spot proclaims “’tis the season – to mix things up in a Cadillac.” During the company’s Season’s Best Sales Event, special leasing offers are available on select ’19 XT4 models.

Finally, Honda invites viewers to unwrap the joy this holiday season with its annual “Happy Honda Days” clearance deals on certain ’19 vehicles.
