Mazda’s Ads Matter

The automaker is winning an audience with two spots narrated by actor Aaron Paul.

Two Mazda commercials sit atop the weekly Most Engaging Auto Ads ranking, powered for WardsAuto by iSpot.tv.

“Driving Matters: Passenger,” with a song by Patsy Cline, takes the No.1 spot, moving up from second place a week ago. A second Mazda commercial, “Carried Away,” is ranked No.2. Both feature voice-overs by actor Aaron Paul from TV’s “Breaking Bad.”

An Audi spot with an Iggy Pop soundtrack holds on to its No.3 position for a third straight week, a remarkable feat.

Meanwhile, two older commercials, boosted by thousands of airings, round out the Top 5 chart. At No.4: is a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid spot starring actor James Marsden, with 3,302 airings to date. The No. 5 spot is occupied by Acura, with a commercial featuring a voice-over by actor Michael B. Jordan, with 7,762 airings to date.
