brand new land rover brand advert...


think i was almost the first to watch it! quite like it, although personally think it should actually feature a car maybe Wink

LR trying to cement themselves as a british, tough, outdoors-ey brand... good. Cheers, David

I agree with OP, it's just a little too subtle.

What a stupid advert for a car company Rolling Eyes

Mind you, they'll struggle to ever improve on the 'winching up a dam' one Laughing Darren

I like the advert for it's filming.

But as a Land Rover advert, it's the most pointless thing I've ever seen! Craig Rogers

I thought you said it was an advert for Land Rover looks more like an advert for the British Tourist Board. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

Makes me want to get out on the mountain bike. Not sure it makes me think let's buy a new land rover

The breakwater at 0.08 is in Criccieth, if they moved the camera just a tiny bit right, this nice RNLI defender would be in shot in front of the lifeboat station,.. wasted opportunity..

I see more Land Rovers-per-minute driving around Bavaria than featured in that advert. Did they manage to hide one in fog? Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

Not good as far as I'm concerned, but then I'm a "car guy". I guess LandRover are aiming at the "others", the greenies, the do-gooders, the environmentally friendly,.. there's lots of people that think that way that would like this advert?..but not me.
Cheers, Pickles.

I like it.. It's subtle..

They're making people think 'I like that brand' rather than shoving facts and images of the car down your face.

They want people to think 'that's a brand I want to be part of' when they're looking at cars to buy. And I think it's good that for once the TV isn't just moaning about the state of the country Cheers, David

I can see why they made it and in many ways it makes sense.

The RNLI Land Rover... are they standard vehicles or are they special builds? If so, what is special about them?

I think it is utter rubbish. If they think that makes people think of LR and makes them want one, then there are on a different planet. But I suppose it follows most of what LR are doing these days...losing the plot. 2020 First Ed 110.
