Week’s Most-Engaging Auto Ad Shows Dodge's Mettle

New entrant Dodge beats out Kia and Mazda to top the Most Engaging Auto Ads rankings, powered for WardsAuto by iSpot.tv.

The commercial features music by Metallica, and although it’s aired just 11 times on national TV so far, it captured 16.9% of the industry’s digital share of voice last week.

Mazda continues its reign at No.2 with 15.03% of the digital share of voice for its long-running CX-9 ad. Subaru is back after a week off the chart, this time grabbing third place with a spot about a boy who breaks everything he touches – except the family’s Subaru.

Ram’s commercial featuring a song by Gary Clark Jr. moves up a spot to No.4, while fifth place goes to a new version of Honda’s a capella summer-clearance-event ad.
