The new ad campaign for Top Gear Auto Point feature three iconic cartoon figures whose cars have broken down in inconvenient situations. Using silhouetted caricatures, the Top Gear Auto Point ad blends humor and pop culture to promote their 27x7 service offer.
Having a car breakdown is never an ideal way to pass some time, even more so if it should breakdown in an unsavory environment -- a field with cats and owls for instance (if you're Stewart Little).
Using images we recognize from our Saturday morning cartoons, these ad campaigns make for an easy visual reminder of who to call when your ride breaks down, if only there was an easy way to remember the number. Service anytime and anywhere, that's the message behind the Top Gear Auto Point cartoony advertisements.
