Honda Taps into Millennial Mindset with 'Best Yourself' Civic Campaign Featuring Nick Cannon

'Best Yourself' celebrates diversity and independent millennial spirit. Honda has teamed up with America’s Got Talent host Nick Cannon to inspire millennials to “Best Themselves” in a new campaign for the redesigned Civic.

Created in collaboration with the Los Angeles agencies Quantasy and Muse Communications, the long form video and social campaign launched this week, the 60-second TV spot aired during America’s Got Talent this past Sunday.

Honda has also started Project Drive-In - America's drive-in theaters are vanishing.

By the end of the year, movie studios will stop distributing 35mm film. The costly $75,000+ switch to digital projection is threatening drive-ins across the country. To help preserve this treasured American icon, Honda has started a national fund for contributions and is donating 5 digital projectors to the cause. Your votes decide where they go.

The latest rendition of the “Happy Honda Days” holiday campaign begins today and features various amusing thank-you letters to Honda dealers from “Happy Honda Days” shoppers and their loved ones. These personalized stories of happiness come with every Honda.

Developed by Honda’s long-standing agency of record, RPA, six comical TV spots showcase the Honda product line and various standard features such as rearview camera, Pandora® internet radio or Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®.

“It’s critical for our holiday campaign to break through the clutter during this time period, and we’re confident that these lighthearted spots will stand out,” said Susie Rossick, senior manager, regional marketing, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Because this is the ninth chapter of ‘Happy Honda Days,’ the phrase has become shorthand for dealers who rally around the concept each year and consumers who instantly recognize the name from a trusted brand and know it’s a great time to buy.”

Each spot opens on someone thanking Honda for giving their friend or relative a great deal on a new car. The narrator gives a detailed account of why the car is such a great purchase. Precocious Samantha loves getting rides in her big sister Laura’s new Civic while rocking out to her USB-connected iPod®. Doting Nancy loves her son Steve’s new Pilot with its Bluetooth and rearview camera. Spikey-haired tween Pete is grateful for his Dad’s Accord; its low cost equals more presents, and Pandora distracts Dad from his son’s paintball escapades.

Official 2012 Honda CR-V Super Bowl Commercial "Matthew's Day Off" Extended Version

To celebrate the launch of the all-new 2012 CR-V, Honda brought Ferris Bueller's Day Off back in a 2012 Super Bowl commercial. They cast Matthew Broderick as himself, skipping out on a day of acting work and living it up in his all-new CR-V. Relive movie history with Honda's fresh twist and wonderful homage to this '80s classic.

They also hid over two dozen references to the movie throughout the commercial. Some are obvious, some are very subtle. See how many you can find. #dayoff

"Passionate Fans" Honda Commercial with NHL stars Corey Perry and Nicklas Lidström

Honda continues its sponsorship of the National Hockey League(NHL®) with a new spot featuring Anaheim Ducks' Corey Perry and Detroit Red Wings' Nicklas Lidström, which pays homage to a few of the league's oldest fan traditions. Developed by Honda's longstanding agency of record, RPA, the new 30-second spot, "Passionate Fans," first aired during the 2012 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic.

"This new spot gives Honda the opportunity to showcase its commitment to the sport. 'Passionate Fans' celebrates favorite customs and the passion of the league's devotees," said Tom Peyton, Honda brand manager, American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

The spot features Perry, the current league MVP, and 12-time All-Star Lidström walking from an arena after a late-night NHL game. As the pair prepares to depart in their Honda Pilot, a hat falls on the windshield, mirroring hard-core hockey fans' habit of tossing their hats toward the ice when an NHL player pulls off a hat trick, scoring three goals in a single game. As the stars exchange confused glances, wondering if the other had scored a hat trick recently, hats rain from the sky. As an octopus plops on the dashboard-a bow to Detroit Red Wings' fans habit of tossing these critters on the ice-a narrator says, "They've got passionate fans. We've got passionate fans."

"You don't typically find casual hockey fans-they are diehards by nature. Honda fans are also an enthusiastic bunch, so the two are a natural fit. This campaign ties the passion and tradition of the NHL directly to Honda," said Pat Mendelson, group creative director at RPA.

"Passionate Fans" will run on NBC and Versus and during sports programming. Print will appear in "USA Today" and online units will run online on NHL.com and NHL team sites.
