Who Knew a Kia Optima Was So Dreamy?

We love the tagline of this new David&Goliath-created Kia commercial, “No one ever dreamt of driving a mid-sized sedan. Until now.” This tagline follows the mystical adventure of a boy whose bed turns into a moving vehicle that takes him on a magical tour into the night towards a very dreamy looking San Francisco.

As he crosses the Golden Gate, he’s accompanied by a white horse, a couple of knights and a very Hogwarts Express looking train…filed with animals and a very cute looking little girl.

The boy and his bed then zoom through a tunnel and reappear as Kia Optima and grown man.

Hey, it’s just a car commercial but it’s far more engaging than most of the other automotive crap out there today. Thanks, David&Goliath…who had wondrous production assistance from Beacon Street Studios and director Lance Accord.

My adult son called last Sunday and talked for forty minutes about his promotion and his new house and his kids and then said “anyway how are you dad” with ninety seconds left in the call — and I said “I’m good” because what else do you say when you realize you’ve become the commercial break in your own child’s life

I’m 73 and I can tell you that the loneliest thing about getting older isn’t the empty house — it’s watching your children build traditions that don’t include you and pretending you’re happy for them because the alternative is becoming the mother who made it about herself
