Fiat's 'The Fatherhood' follow-up is new romantic music video

Thursday, 21st March 2013 at 10:40am

FatherhoodFatherhoodFatherhoodIn a follow-up to their 'The Motherhood' video, Fiat has released 'The Fatherhood'.

Similar to it's predecessor, The Fatherhood focuses on a father in a musical fashion, singing about the trials and tribulations involved with being a new dad.

This time around though, the concept is that the father is taking his young twins out in the car to try and get them to sleep, whilst doing this he reminisces about his youth and being "a new romantic" cue the Human League style music, and video, complete with outdoor settings, smoke and a unicorn.

One of the best lines would definitely be about him dancing at their wedding as way of revenge.

Once again the idea of the video is to promote the family friendly nature of Fiat's 500L series.

Watch the video and let us know what you think, but be warned it is rather long.

Motherhood meets gangster rap in new Fiat ad

Wednesday, 9th January 2013 at 9:43am

Motherhood fiat adMotherhood Fiat AdMotherhood Fiat AdIn a campaign far removed from the norm, Fiat has released "The Motherhood", a mock rap video featuring a stressed mum with her three children.

The ad covers the trials and tribulations of the daily life of a mum, and, whilst avoiding the coarse language normally associated with the genre, the main character acts in very much the same way. Especially in posing next to her Fiat 500L, the real 'star' of the video.

The tagline for the video also mocks the genre: "Word to all the mothers out there. This one goes out to you..." ' The Motherhood' feat. Fiat 500L is dedicated to all those women who have to be all things to all people and live it large on a daily basis."

Very funny but a bit long - worth watching through to the end though.

Charlie Sheen premieres in two new ads

Tuesday, 6th March 2012 at 11:07am

AttachmentAdvertisers in the US appear to be taking Charlie Sheen under their wing with two new ads featuring the infamous star premiering last week.

The first for Fiat sees him racing around his house in a new Fiat, making a point about being under house arrest, and the second sees him acting out the film Platoon with someone he meets in a Turkish baths for DirectTV.






Not sure whether the association of Charlie Sheen with mainstream brands is a good one and definitely question Fiat's choice of brand ambassador! What do you think?

How the Italians do it

Saturday, 26th November 2011 at 7:47am

You should never be surprised at what the Italians get away with in their advertising and the new ad for the Fiat 500 Abarth is no exception.

Taking innuendo to another level this is just not something you find on a British TV during Coronation Street!

Love it or hate it, it certainly engages the audience. What do you think?
