Intertrend developed two spots, Showtime and Picture Perfect, that highlight the all-new Corolla Cross’ available AWD capabilities and seamless style.
In Showtime, a man picks up his cousin from the airport, who’s come to America for the first time. Looking to impress him, he takes him to a one-of-a-kind view of the Northern Lights, equally as unique as the Corolla Cross. In Picture Perfect, a content creator couple looks to amaze their followers with the help of the Corolla Cross. Through every turn of their drive, the couple, their dogs, and the Corolla Cross are in perfect sync to the beat of the music. The spots were directed by Brent Bonacorso.
Skate Instructor developed by Conill Advertising and directed by Max Malkin, features professional skateboarder Paul Rodriguez Jr. The spot illustrates how the Corolla Cross delivers just the right amount of cargo space to fit his equipment, while showcasing the vehicle’s design and smooth moves on the streets, just like on his skateboard.
