  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

A total of FIVE 30-second videos will be aired before and during the Superbowl on Feb 1. That is a heck of a lot of money they are spending.




FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Jan. 27 CA-Hyundai-SuperBowl

Hyundai Ads Feature '2009 North American Car of the Year' Winner Genesis Sedan, 'Hyundai Assurance,' and All-New Genesis Coupe

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor America will kick-off Super Bowl advertising with a sponsorship of NBC's Super Bowl XLIII "Kick-Off Show" airing Sunday, February 1, 2009. The sponsorship package includes naming rights and three 30-second spots preceding the game. Hyundai also has two 30-second spots planned for in-game coverage, bringing Hyundai's total exposure during the nation's most-watched sporting event to five 30-second advertising slots.

Hyundai and creative agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners developed five new ads to fill each Super Bowl Sunday advertising segment. The spots focus on three distinct messages: Hyundai's next exciting model introduction, the 2010 Genesis Coupe launching this spring; Hyundai's newest consumer program called "Hyundai Assurance;" and the Genesis sedan's "2009 North American Car of the Year" honor.

Honoring its all-new flagship sedan, the pre-game show will be named the "Kick-Off Show Presented by the Hyundai Genesis, '2009 North American Car of the Year.'" One pre-game spot will pay tribute to the Genesis sedan, while teasing the Genesis Coupe. The Genesis Coupe debut, which features a soundtrack scored and performed by Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin from rock band Smashing Pumpkins, will set the tone for kick off when it airs just before game time. A new spot featuring "Hyundai Assurance" will round out Hyundai's pre-game advertising.

Hyundai's two in-game positions include one second-quarter spot (7Z) and one third-quarter spot (20A). Hyundai has selected another ad featuring the Genesis Sedan's "2009 North American Car of the Year" win titled "Bosses" for the second quarter slot. The third quarter slot will feature the Assurance Program with a new ad called "Contract."

"In any given year, I'd be happy to have one of these three stories to include in Super Bowl advertising, so this is like a perfect storm," said Joel Ewanick, vice president, Marketing, Hyundai Motor America. "We feel that the collection of ads strike the right emotional tones, blending enthusiasm, honesty and a little humor to share the great news about Genesis sedan, debut Genesis Coupe and communicate our most timely value proposition, Hyundai Assurance."

Hyundai Genesis took top honors in the most exclusive award in the North American auto industry when it was named "2009 North American Car of the Year" on January 11, 2009. A jury of 50 independent automotive journalists evaluated all the new cars introduced last year and chose the 2009 Hyundai Genesis as the best new model.

The Genesis Coupe's advertising debut sets the perfect tone for kick off featuring a musical performance by Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. Precision driving is performed by Rhys Millen, a Pike's Peak world record holder, Formula-D champion and professional driver. Genesis Coupe will be the second-consecutive all-new Hyundai model introduced on Super Bowl Sunday, following the Genesis sedan's debut last year. The campaign includes an online component at edit your own homes for at edityourown.com which allows visitors to create their own version of a Genesis Coupe ad, to be shared with friends and posted to social networking sites.

Hyundai Assurance offers to repurchase any new Hyundai leased or financed if the owner unexpectedly looses his/her income. Advertising for Hyundai Assurance broke January 3 and 4, 2009 during National Football League playoff games and is showing strong consumer interest in its initial weeks.

Wow! Yeah, I really hope these cars sell well and make through the mainstream and launch itself. With all the negativity surrounding the economy, I would like to see 'hard-working' (?) people / company excel.

Though I am wishing for Genesis' success, I kinda like it since not many Genesis are on the road... ;)

Who are you guys rooting for? Cards or Steelers? :D
 
I'm from Pittsburgh...so the Steelers of course!
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
I heard somewhere that each 30 second add is $3 million!!! wow, hyundai has some serious big bucks. That's $15 million dollars since they are doing 5 commercials.Well, all in all, I think they will do a great job in convincing people to give Hyundai a try.
 
It appears to me Hyundai has already been on an ad blitz for some time now. During the regular football season I don't think you could have a commercial break without one of the Genesis commercials running. And now they have the Buy Back policy to tout, in addition to the upcoming Genesis coupe.
 
Remember it would have cost them BILLIONS to sell the Genesis under a new brand with new dealer agreements and infrastructure, etc. I like the idea of keeping it Hyundai and focus on a great marketing message. I just wish I could develop the ads as I think some of the ones I've seen are not good.

I would have the commercial start with all the Genesis accolades and awards fading onto the screen. Then show the car and a women getting into it in front of her 2 story colonial. The theme would be back to basics... Hyundai is building the best cars at prices we can all afford...no hype.. no fancy marketing gimics... Think about it..
 
Watch for traffic to pick up here after the superbowl... This is exactly what Hyundai needs to be doing - marketing the fact that they're not "just" Hyundai anymore...
