Volkswagen Reveals Super Bowl Spot

Volkswagen of America, Inc. today unveiled its highly anticipated Game Day commercial. Viewers can catch “Get Happy” on the brand’s YouTube® channel before it airs in the second quarter of the Big Game. This is the fourth consecutive year that Volkswagen has advertised on Game Day. 

 

“The Big Game presents an unparalleled creative opportunity to represent the Volkswagen brand,” said Tim Mahoney, Chief Product and Marketing Officer, Volkswagen of America, Inc. “We’re excited to reveal this year’s campaign, “Get In. Get Happy.”, which is designed to bring a jolt of happiness to viewers’ daily lives.” 

 

 

The spot features a reggae-inflected cover of "C'mon, Get Happy" created by Truesoundnewyork and featuring Jimmy Cliff.

 

Volkswagen’s 2013 Game Day commercial, “Get Happy” features a man who brightens up his dreary office environment with a positive attitude and inexplicable Caribbean accent. 

 

The 60-second spot builds on Volkswagen’s heritage of “human stories, told simply,” and will serve as a thematic continuation of the brand’s feel good ads including “Smiles,” which first premiered last September, and last year’s Big Game commercial “The Dog Strikes Back,” named by Google as one of 2012’s leading ads on YouTube.

 

The spot was created by Deutsch LA, Volkswagen’s creative agency of record.
