In this week’s Most Engaging Auto Ads, powered for WardsAuto by iSpot.tv, Lexus again owned the top spot with its hoverboard ad “It’s Here,” while Mazda took two spots in the top five.
“It’s Here” rocketed from 200,000 online views to over 1.5 million, good enough to own 12.8% of all the digital chatter generated by automotive ads for the week (based on combined online views, social media actions and online search).
But with two spots in the top five, including “A Driver’s Live: Driving Matters” in second and “Summer Driving” in fifth, Mazda took the overall brand-engagement crown with a combined 15.9%, including over 3 million online views.
Overall, automakers spent an estimated $84.6 million on television ads for the week, nearly $10 million more than last week, airing 231 spots over 19,000 times nationally. Ford led the way with 11.1% of that total, followed by Hyundai and Nissan tied at 8% each and Chevy close behind at 6.6%.
Most of this went to the Big Four broadcast TV networks, led by Fox, again driven by sports programming. While golf programming made an admirable showing with over $3.5 million, NFL Preseason Football blew everybody out of the water with nearly $7 million in automotive TV advertising.
