Video advertising:

To promote the Ford Edge's innovative BLind Spot Information System, Baumann Ber Rivnay / Saatchi & Saatchi Israel is leveraging the growing popularity of the vertical video format on Facebook to launch a mobile commercial that creatively uses the two standard black bars that appear in regular horizontal ads. When playing the video, the black bars which initially cover portions of road drivers would not see unless they had BLISS, fall away to reveal how the car's advanced system would capture them.
 
Not surprisingly, the Facebook post generated record high results for the brand with over 600.000 views in 4 day, 300 shares and a reach of over 1.1 million Israelis (in a country of just 8M).
Clear proof that in a world where consumers can no longer be bothered to turn their smartphone horizontally to watch content, vertical rocks!
