Chevrolet: Tommy Chevy snapped up five costly Super Bowl spots in 2011, a big jump from just one the previous year, with its new ad agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners. Goodby had won the account without a review when then-global CMO Joel Ewanick moved it from Wieden & Kennery in May 2010.Four of the Chevrolet ads in 2011’s game were for specific brands:"Status"and"Misunderstanding"for Chevy Cruze,"Discovery"for its new electric car brand Volt, and "Tommy" for its Silverado truck. "Al’s Chevy" was originally supposed to co-promote for the third "Transformers" movie using the Chevy Camaro, the alter-ego of shapeshifting robot Bumblebee, but"Miss Evelyn"ran for Camero instead.A bevy of directors were on board: for "Status," Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (the duo behind the indie feature film "Little Miss Sunshine"); for "Discovery," Filip Engstrom; for "Misunderstanding," Stacy Wall; for "Tommy," Josh Gordon and Will Speck.Chevrolet trimmed its Super Bowl order the following year to a still-impressive three ads, including the memorable"2012."Ewanick left GM later that year snd Goodby's run as Chevy agency wrapped in spring 2013.Directors: Josh Gordon, Will Speck.
