Disney*Pixar’s “Cars 3”

Autotrader, the most visited third-party car shopping site[1], launched a television advertising campaign in collaboration with the highly anticipated film from Disney•Pixar’s, “Cars 3,” which cruises into theaters nationwide in 3D on June 16, 2017.

In the spirit of the film and centered around Autotrader’s personalized search functionality, the 30-second Autotrader television spot features the well-known cast of characters from Disney•Pixar’s”Cars 3″ showcasing their distinctive personalities. Autotrader rallies viewers to find the car that best fits their lifestyle. The spot concludes with the tagline – “Every car has a personality. Find the one that fits yours at Autotrader.”

“Collaborating with Disney•Pixar’s ‘Cars 3’ was a natural fit for Autotrader for more than the obvious reason of the spotlight our iconic brands share within the automotive space,” says Jessica Stafford, vice president of marketing, Autotrader. “Much like the Cars franchise, Autotrader shares a personal connection with people of all ages and at all life stages, and we feel this is reflected in the playful content we developed with the Disney and Pixar teams to further drive excitement for our brand and the upcoming premiere of ‘Cars 3’.” 

As the industry’s most influential listing site[2], and with 4.5 million average daily vehicle listings[3], Autotrader is making it easier than ever for consumers to find the right car and the right deal.
