Automakers spend nearly $15 billion on digital advertising alone. Manufacturer’s are always seeking creative ways to capture the attention their customers shopping for what is likely the second most expensive purchase they will make. Given the competition, slogans and or mottos are critical in delivering a compelling and memorable message. One of the best ads I remember was for Porsche 911:

“It’s about as fast as you can go without having to eat airline food”

I love it! Happy Motoring from G.D. Herring.
