WOW WOW WOW love the ad, love the Cheetah she is gorgeous.

Thanks to her owner for saving her.

It is a pitty to think that the cruelty of humans cost precious animals their lives, or limbs. It is a shame to think that some humans dont care for animals at all, no matter how big or small.

Thanks to those who do care. God bless

What an ad! Now for the branding (funds to save the cheetah): Picture of Lucky with caption: Lucky to be alive OR
Just because she can’t run (then picture of three legged Lucky) and below: ….doesn’t mean she isn’t a cheetah…..

Ok, the story is beautiful and all but it is not Golf! Golf is a hardcore and edgy brand with the essence of performance and pushing the boundaries. This ad is a terrible attempt to link animal welfare and ‘doing-good’ to the VW brand. Stick to what Golf is! It is a transparent ploy that has weakened a beautiful car.

Imagine a Golf 6 Bakkie… They did it with a Jeep and a Land Rover… so why not a Golf!

The only thing is what’s the chance you’ll allow any pets (including cheetahs) on the backseat of a brand-new car. More like a bakkie, maybe..

What a stunning ad. It had me in tears. When will we see it again?

I dunno about the payoff. Its a bloody heart warming advert – and if I was in a fragile state, might even shed a tear, but a cheetah is about speed and performance, which is more GTI. Its weird, heart warming story = family brand car – Cheetah = speed and performance. My god does it provoke emotion though, which is what Ogilvy does do very well . . . even the best in the TV area.

But big ups to Mike and Prabashan thats the best TVC I have seen out of the big red in ages – Well done guys
