GMC Holiday Promotion Is Most-Seen Auto Ad

Holiday ads are out in full force, and each of the spots in the ranking for the week of Dec. 2 plugs special savings.

GMC claims first place in iSpot.tv’s ranking of the most-viewed automotive commercials – the ads collecting the highest number of impressions across national broadcast and cable TV airings.

Holiday ads are out in full force, and each of the spots in the ranking for the week of Dec. 2 plugs special savings. In the first-place commercial, GMC promotes its “Season to Upgrade” promotion offering deals on select ’19 Denali models.

Second place goes to Infiniti’s spot showing how its vehicles can help you have fun in the snow – or surf. During the company’s Winter Sales Event, customers can get up to a $4,000 bonus on certain ’19 models.

Chevrolet’s third-place ad features real Chevy employees (not actors) who proclaim the company is all about bringing families together. To that end, Chevy is offering its employee discount to everyone this holiday season. This commercial has the best iSpot Attention Index (157) in the ranking, getting 57% fewer interruptions than the average auto ad (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).

At No.4, Hyundai shows that, while it may be tricky to wrap one of its vehicles up like a gift, it’s easy to save during the Hyundai Holidays Sales Event, with special financing on the ’19 and ’20 Santa Fe.

Finally, Cadillac suggests mixing things up this holiday season by giving your couch a break and embarking on spirited adventures with friends in one of its vehicles. During its Season’s Best Sales Event, qualified customers can get special savings on the ’20 XT6 CUV.
