Following the second quarter's 30-second "Phoenix," Ford's Lincoln luxury auto brand continued its first Super Bowl flight with a second spot, the minute-long "Steer the Script" or "Road Trip."
The ad was the result of a social media campaign with comedian Jimmy Fallon, who curated and combined script submissions submitted via Twitter with the help of agency Hudson Rouge, a recently created division of WPP dedicated exclusively to Lincoln. The ad urges viewers to SteertheScript.com to watch a full-length video.
The idea for Speed Stick's Super Bowl debut in the same game was also sourced from consumers on Twitter ("Laundry").
