Honda just launched a new RPA-created commercial which began this past weekend on ESPN SportsCenter. The :30, called “Starting Up.” features the many various Honda racing vehicles starting their engines to do their thing. RPA Associate Creative Director Rich Pass explains, saying, “We’ve seen so many racing spots in the past that were merely cars driving around the track. Commercials like that are pretty invisible; we wanted something more dramatic.” We’re not sure wuick cuts or vehicles staring their engines is more dramatic but it is different. We’ll give him that.
