Another way* to promote batteries

How on earth someone thought of this genius to promote DieHard batteries, we'll never quite (want - that would almost ruin it) know.

But it sure as hell is a great way to infuse interest in a battery. Or like this comment from here manage to say so well that I won't even bother to try to recite him; only quote him:

"Yes, it’s borrowed interest. Yes, the brand advantage is debatable. But honestly, I don’t care. Bottom line—for me—it’s creative. It’s interesting. And I think it’s smart for the agency who came up with this spot to pair up with someone like Reggie to create an interest in a product that isn’t typically associated with “funny, creative or cool.”

This will stand out far more than seeing a demo of a car start up after sitting in the snow overnight. And it’s well crafted. Isn’t that what good advertising is?"

Here's the spot that emerged out of this collaboration:



*The right way.
