Chevrolet: Official Truck and Tailgates by Commonwealth//McCann
- Location:
Chevrolet has brought back the lyrics of the theme song to the Donny & Marie show without the peppy music to promote the 2019 Silverado – the brand’s hard-working pickup truck. For the launch of the truck, Commonwealth//McCann and Chevrolet have created a campaign that gives a harder edge to the lyrics, in keeping with the attitude and toughness of the pickup.
At the center of the campaign are three videos designed to launch the Silverado in breakthrough ways. In ‘A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock ‘n’ Roll,’ the lyrics of the iconic song serve as dialogue for individuals of all ages, backgrounds, professions and cultures for whom the new Silverado is the truck of choice. From soldiers crawling through the mud to a woman on a ranch, to construction workers, businessmen, cowboys and fishermen, surfers and steel workers, they all show that the Silverado is what you need it to be.
Another spot, ‘Tailgates,’ takes a journey through the decades as seen from the tailgate of the Silverado, from the early 1900s to the present day – where the Silverado tailgate can be closed with the click of a button. It’s a nostalgic look back on American life through what they carry in their trucks. The point of the spot is that people, the music, the locations, the jobs might change, but the strength, versatility and dependability of the Silverado remains.
