Cadillac Reinvented Lauren Denfeld Jenny O’Connor
From the Beginning….. “For most of the past 40 years, Cadillac has more or less been synonymous with white-belted retirees driving at 39 mph to get their prostates checked. By the 1970s, the once-proud luxury brand, the erstwhile mark of wealth and achievement, had devolved into a sofa on wheels.” - Bob Garfield, “Grey's Anatomy Star Brings Erotic Allure to a Tired Brand”, Adage.com
Under new management • Modernista • In an attempt to shed the long standing image, Cadillac dropped their old advertisement agency, Leo Burnett and hired Modernista. “New TV spots from Modernista, Boston, are eye-catching, ear-catching, informative, cerebral and -- dare we say? -- pretty freakin' sexy.”
A Little Star Power • Kate Walsh • Private Practice • Character represents, young single professionals • Martin Henderson • Aspiring new actor
Who is the Target? • A young female professional, making a living and loving life in the city. • When she steps out of the car she is poised in her heels and red lipstick. She is well educated, cares about performance and leisure, she is the anti- soccer mom.
