Commercial for Volvo Car Armenia

Brief

Test drive is the most sure-fire way to guarantee a client will buy a car. However, it can be challenging when your brand isn’t top of mind for those considering a brand new car.

To invite people to test drive a Volvo, we tapped into the brand’s greatest advantage – being a family car. Naturally, you need the entire family’s approval before making a purchase. That’s why we initiated a ‘Family test drive.’

Insight

To effectively communicate this, we found an insight that all parents can relate to: the annoyance of an unbelievably catchy children’s song. If you’re a parent, chances are you’d lose it if you hear ‘Baby Shark’ one more time. Nowhere is safe from that earworm, not even in the safest car in the world.

Execution

For our promotional video, we imagined a scenario where the whole test-driving family perpetually sings ‘Baby Shark,’ much to the annoyance of Volvo’s sales representative. However, being the most patient person in the world, he is willing to endure everything the family throws at him just so they can decide on the car. The video portrays the family obnoxiously taking advantage of unlimited free test drives, prolonging the decision-making process for as long as possible.

Storyboard

VFX before/after

To amplify the passage of time and family’s tormenting of Volvo’s sales rep, we utilized a green screen to portray different times of the year.
