Kia launches new campaign for market-leading 7 Year Warranty via Innocean Worldwide Australia
Since October 2014 when Kia launched Australia’s only 7 Year Factory warranty, it has dominated the Australian automotive landscape as the only genuine factory warranty offering 7 years protection with unlimited kilometres.
Kia has taken the opportunity to reinforce to the Australian car buying public, that there is only one brand in Australia who offers a genuine 7 Year Factory warranty, on every car, every time. The new campaign via Innocean Worldwide Australia, is based on the simple premise that a warranty is a promise and that promises should not before a limited time.
In ‘The Vow’ we see a loving couple exchanging their wedding vows. Unknowingly our groom hangs off his wife-to-be’s every word, when she promises to love him, for better or for worse, but only until March 31.
In ‘Pinky Promise’ we witness that dinner time moment when a young child begs his Dad to take him somewhere. Dad caves in and lovingly agrees to take his son, sealed with an unbreakable ‘Pinky Promise’ until Dad say that his offer comes with conditions.
Says Steve Jackson, ECD, Innocean: “I wanted to make these scripts the moment I read them. The temptation for an auto company is to keep everything in the auto world, so I was delighted when the Kia team saw the power of this simple, charming universal truth.”

Lovely and simple
But it’s not forever.
It’s for 7 years.
See above.
Promises shouldn’t be limited to, say, 7 years.
Is it ever a good idea for the creative and the offer to be in direct contradiction of each other?
Dumbest ads I think I’ve ever seen. They make zero sense.
ARGHH!!! MAKES MY HEAD GO OUCHY!!!
