LDV Australia launches “There’s a New Ute in Town” campaign for LDV T60 MAX via VCCP Sydney

As part of the launch campaign for the new LDV T60 MAX — a new ute boasting 160kW of power from just $33,990 — VCCP has created the Kilowatts Trilogy: 3 x:60 radio spots “The Good, the Bad, and the Kilowatts,” “A Fistful of Kilowatts,” and “For a Few Kilowatts More” each featuring an operatic choir singing about the massive power of the LDV T60 MAX in a style inspired by classic spaghetti western scores.
Says Scott Huebscher, executive creative director, VCCP Sydney: “With a massive 160kW engine, the new T60 MAX is one of the most powerful utes in the market — from just $33,990. So we wanted to shout it from the rooftops, but thought better of it and hired professional singers.”
Says Dinesh Chinnappa, general manager, LDV Australia: “The ‘There’s a New Ute in Town’ campaign perfectly captures the challenger aspect of the powerful new T60 MAX. As one of the most powerful utes in its class at a fraction of the cost — the competition will be shaking in their CV boots.”
The rest of the “There’s a New Ute in Town” campaign is set to roll out early next year. The campaign will include TV, online, social and outdoor.

The Good: it’s cheap.
The Bad: it’s a LDV
These are very well done. Great job Otis.
It sounds legit!
I knew before even opening the artcile that this was a Heath & Nathan OG. Well done boys. Great work
It’ll be like ‘men like us like rum’ except with cheap utes and only a radio ad.
Anyone know if this is the same team that did a 4WD ad where a bunch of guys is sitting on a rock listening to a guru who’s encouraging them to be quiet and peaceful and they’re kind of into it until a 4WD starts rolling up the rock face and it’s even ‘quieter’?
Anyone know who did that ad?
I’d like the contact.
