A Tale of Two Nostalgic Ads - Jeep vs. Ford
Show Notes

In this episode we'll explore two ads from competing companies in the same year with an exceptionally similar nostalgic theme - targeting the same audience! One is the Jeep ad featuring Bill Murray reprising his role as Phil Connors in Groundhog Day during the 2020 Super Bowl. The other ad is for the Ford Mach-E commercial that aired the Christmas season of 2020 featuring the Griswold family from Christmas Vacation. 

Which one did it right? Which one did it better? I'll share my thoughts and encourage you to let me know what you think!
