For its latest campaign, Kia is introducing a very fast baby hamster to promote the new turbocharged Kia Soul.

Set in a hospital, the spot finds a maternity ward nurse and staff members in a futile attempt to catch a nimble newborn hamster as he flees his bassinet. The youngster eventually makes a dramatic leap off the building and utilizes a makeshift parachute to safely float to the street below where a Turbo Soul driven by the hamster family is waiting, all to the thundering sound of Motörhead’s ‘Ace of Spades’ as the soundtrack.

Created by David&Goliath, Kia's advertising agency of record, ‘The Arrival' debuts online and on more than 25,000 movie theater screens nationwide through the National CineMedia and Screenvision movie networks. The campaign includes 90, 60, 30 and 15-second versions for both general and Hispanic markets across in-cinema, digital and online channels.
