Clipsal 500: the race that rocks
Adelaide agency KWP and production company Kojo have released a new campaign to promote this year’s Clipsal 500.

Mark Warren from the South Australian Motor Board said: “We really wanted to do something different this year that would have cut through in the clutter of other more typical advertising; something that would be talked about.”
“There was a risk in moving away from the typical formula for motorsport advertising however we believe KWP and Kojo have delivered – it’s a real coup to have so many drivers and fans involved and reinforce the format that we pioneered with race n rock.”
As a long time motorsport fan, I have to pose the question – how the hell could this get anyone to the race? To get all that talent in one room for a clap fest that leaves you waiting for the actual ad to start is just shambolic. Is there a second half that is missing?
This ad needs to do one thing – get people fired up enough about the event to actually get them to care & attend…and this is a sport that needs some help at the moment..
