Seen on Copyranter- Hipster Ad

This Honda Jazz commercial targets young hipsters by slightly making fun of them, but at the same time it lets them identify with the product. It is nice to see an ad for a car that shows a face. I find it original, but still doesn’t convince me to buy the product. Why? Maybe I’m [...]
