"GASPOCALYPSE" Hyundai Canada Super Bowl Ad for Sonata Hybrid
29 Jan 2013
Watch Hyundai Canada's official 2013 Big Game Day Commercial, titled "GASPOCALYPSE" starring the Sonata Hybrid, four 'weekend warriors', and a very generous Hyundai driver.
Last year, the Super Bowl was watched by over 111 million people worldwide with over 16 million Canadians viewing some or all of it. And, every year, the commercials generate almost as much interest as the game itself. Unlike the their American counterparts, very few Canadian companies create original ads to take advantage of these huge numbers.
Hyundai Auto Canada Corp (HACC) has done just that for a second year a row with a 60-second epic called “Gaspocalypse”. The commercial tips its hat to the post-apocalyptic film genre and punctuates the fuel efficiency of the Sonata Hybrid.
“We wanted to create a spot that truly measured up on the Super Bowl stage,” said Gary Westgate, Senior VP and ECD at Innocean Canada. “And the production company pulled out all the stops to make sure it felt like you’re watching a blockbuster movie.”
Adds John Vernile, Vice President Marketing, Hyundai Auto Canada Corp, “We are thrilled to be one of the few Canadian companies committed to creating a unique commercial for the 2013 Super Bowl. People across North America tune-in to the game as much for the commercials as for the action on the field, so there is no bigger stage than the Super Bowl to make a statement about our hybrid’s world class performance.”
