Zambezi launched a new 60-second spot for Autotrader, entitled “One Search.”
The spot follows a similar approach to last month’s “The Journey,” which launched the millenial-targeting campaign for Autotrader. Like that effort, “One Search” shows how one woman’s auto searches change with her changing lifestyle. When she gets a new job, for example, she ups her price range from 10 to 20 thousand dollars. Later on she decides she needs more space and searches for an SUV. Other search changes are a bit flimsier, like when she changes her search color to red after watching a sunset. The spot especially highlights Autotrader’s save search feature, as well as how the service will “let you know when we find the perfect car.” It’s unclear if, like its predecessor, the spot will run in both 30 and 60-second versions, but the 60-second version of the spot feels a bit long and it’s likely the ad would benefit from the shorter runtime. Still, like “The Journey” it does an adequate job at communicating the benefits of using Autotrader in the search for the perfect vehicle.
