Kia invents ‘Fathertism’ for Next Gen Sorento

Kids show ‘Fathertism’

Kia has coined a new word – Fathertism – in a new campaign for its Next Gen Sorento car.

Led by a TV commercial, the campaign sees a mother struggle to gain her children’s affection after they give preferential treatment to their dad because he bought a new Kia Sorento – hence the word, fathertism.

Created by Innocean, the campaign launched last night and covers both free-to-air and subscription TV, online via a microsite, outdoor and social media. It includes an online competition to find Australia’s favourite father. The competition winner gets a Sorento.

Part one of the campaign sets up the children’s bias towards their dad, while the second takes a creepier approach.

The ads were produced by Finch and directed by Nick Ball. Planning and buying is being handled by Initiative while We Are Social is handling the social media.
