On the back of the new Jaguar controversial adverts...

What commercial advertising have you loved over the years?

I was always excited to see the new very arty Benson & Hedges ones in particular. I was interested in how they used the surreal to get round the "new" advertising regulations.

I also liked the "worth waiting for" Guiness advert much more recently;

Beautiful, isn't it? smile

Oh how wonderful to see that again!

It reminds me so much of my adored grandparents.

Thank you so much for this lovely memory

Best ad ever smile

I don’t recall this advert, but it really brought a tear to my eye, as well as a smile!

This is the new Jaguar advert by the way.
Lots of conversations about it onlone apparently. Hadn't noticed any here.

I liked the comment from one of the YT viewers...

you're selling cars to rich people, not the TellyTubbies.

Very apt!

I am indifferent to the JLR advert. I don't know why some people get so affronted, or describe it as woke. Perhaps they are just getting in training, ready for to be offended by whatever wins the Turner prise later today.

^wish I was as clever as you Brian^ -

No grin think it was a suggestion i.e. why don't you google!

Google?

nanaK54 Tue 03-Dec-24 11:28:20

I still say "wish I was as clever as you Brian", sadly I am not clever enough to remember what it was advertising! grin

What’s the saying about business … ‘Go woke, go broke’.

The smash potato advert with the aliens, the episodic Gold Blend coffee advert where they eventually got together. The Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins adverts for Cinzano

Me too! All three, but I also like the Lorraine Chase ad for Cinzano “no mate, Luton Airport”

I expect it's the drip drip advertising ahead of the big reveal.

After all the weird advertising and build up all they unveiled was a concept car, the real thing is not going be available for at least 18months, very disappointing.

I expect there will me more adverts coming bit by bit for Jaguar as it gets closer to rolling out.
Maybe they will be cumulative in some way?

I wonder if jaGuar is really going to be written like that in future. It does look a bit odd.
But then the new Kia logo is horrible I think.

I don't remember having seen that advert - but I love it now - even though I'm a vegetarian!

We’ve given up buying JLR cars, our last Land Rover was nowhere near as good as the previous ones.
While it was in the dealership several time, for repairs, under warranty, we were loaned other Land Rover’s or Jags. Not impressed with any of them

David49 Mon 25-Nov-24 12:40:25

Launch due on December 2 we will see soon enough, lots of opinions about the advert, most hate it, a new image they've even dumped the old logos, without the ad nobody would know it was about to be introduced.

It weird for sure but because you are all commenting on it means it gets noticed, the tactic is well known. I doubt anyone on GN is a likely buyer for the Jag, it’s being introduced in the US in December and prices begin at £100k EV only.

We have looked at the e-pace, but not overly impressed.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Sun 24-Nov-24 18:54:45

Go woke go broke Jaguar.
Generating discussion about the brand is good but only if it translates into sales!

Aveline Sun 24-Nov-24 18:48:59

There's pretty widespread condemnation for the Jaguar advertisment. It's not just Grans.

The Cointreau Christmas advert,
" The ice melts..."

granfromafar Sun 24-Nov-24 17:26:28

What a strange advert, and not a car in sight!

BlueBelle Sun 24-Nov-24 17:25:58

Not seen the jag one until the link came in here
Just plain weird wouldn’t make me rush out and buy anything
