Jeep's Ad With Singing Animals Gets Even Better When You Turn on Captions

Agency Highdive's homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey has some fun getting descriptive

Media and marketing pros from Warner Bros, YouTube, Tubi and more will share insights, perspectives and advice on how to keep up in this ever-changing industry. Join them in LA at the Convergent TV Summit on October 25.

Captions on ads are a tremendously helpful but often overlooked accessibility feature, with many marketers simply relying on YouTube’s automatic transcription feature to do all the work.

But Jeep’s newest ad from agency Highdive shows that you can integrate captions in a way that makes a fun ad even more fun.

The ad, “2022: Earth Odyssey” for the Grand Cherokee 4xe and Wrangler 4xe models, aired during Super Bowl pre-game coverage on NBC. Viewers who had captions enabled on their devices were in for a treat.
