Ford Focus – the car for secret karaoke lovers
A karaoke version of Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up is at the heart of a new ad for the Ford Focus.
The ad – “Play anything” – spruiks the car’s Sync service, allowing voice control of music and phone calls.
Ford’s ad agency is JWT Melbourne.

Yep, saw the on TV and cringed accordingly. Reminds me of that horrible Samsung mobile ad set at a dinner that’s on air at the moment. Makes watching TV seem like reading the client’s self-absorbed list of product features. Certainly not why I watch TV.
