The sad life of a great pretender - new VW ad from DDB London


It's lovely to be able to talk about sad-vertising from the UK... let alone from my own agency. So I proudly invite you to view the latest VW Golf ad. And I challenge you not to feel a confusing mixture of eye-rolling hatred and humanising empathy for the main character.

Lovely idea too... "the power of understatement". Congrats to all involved.

It's BRILLIANT. Do you know which teams were involved?

Sam and Shish were the Creative Directors and I believe it's their script.

It's beautiful, well done.

Nigel Hollis has done a very interesting post on this ad... and some of the comments from his readers are very revealing too!

Do check it out.
