Kia gives 2010 Melle Mel ad a sequel with Salt-N-Pepa
Hip-hop duo Salt-N-Pepa become a mother’s imaginary friends in an ad for the new Kia Next Generation Sportage. The spot follows on from a 2010 ad which saw the woman’s husband pop out for nappies which saw him singing along to rap song The Message alongside Melle Mel and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five member Scorpio.

The ad was created by Innocean Australia and Directed by Prodigy’s Tim Bullock, who was also behind the original ad.
The spot features the same couple along with their daughter, now four years old. In this version, the mother relives her youth, while singing along to Salt-N-Pepa’s Push It.

Both ads make me smile when they’re on, even though I’ve seen them numerous times. How many ads can you say that about?? Great stuff.
We bought our own Kia Sportage on the back of the original ad (well, that and because it blew the competition out of the water)…great to see the continuation…
