W+K Portland Hypes Dodge’s ‘Wolf Pack’

By Erik Oster 

W+K Portland launched a new campaign for Dodge, promoting its range of vehicles with a pair of broadcast spots and a new digital ad.

“Wolf Pack” is the second ad from W+K Portland to compare Dodge vehicles to dangerous beasts, following its “Predators” spot this summer. The 30-second spot opens with ominous music and a group of Dodge vehicles gathering in the dark. As the cars speed down a desolate road, the voiceover chimes in, “If you call one of us, just remember, you’ve invited the whole pack.” The other broadcast spot, “Pick-up” claims that the Dodge Challenger is “Every man’s favorite car…until it comes for his daughters.” Both broadcast ads made their debut last Sunday and will continue to run through March, including during CBS and Fox’s NFL Playoff coverage this Sunday; “Pick-up” will also air during NBC’s Golden Globe Awards show on Sunday. An online spot, “Old Man Story” continues the Dodge Brothers story (also alluded to in “Pick-up”) by comparison to the relatable tale of an old man trudging five miles through the snow every day with holes in his shoes. Rather than complain, the Dodge Brothers just built themselves a car.
