‘Beautiful meets capable’ in latest spot for Renault Koleos via Naked Comms Melbourne
Renault has launched a new ‘Beautiful meets capable’ spot via Naked Communications, Melbourne promoting the Renault Koleos.
The new TV-led campaign, which went to air Sunday night, is designed to highlight the fact that the Koleos solves the age-old SUV category dilemma by offering consumers style as well as practicality.
The TVC features an unlikely pairing of beautiful and capable – along with their respective pooches – all set to the iconic soundtrack of Pat Benatar’s We Belong Together.
Says David Henderson, marketing director at Renault: “We wanted to highlight the fact that the Renault Koleos is uniquely positioned in the Australian market because it genuinely combines ‘capable’ with ‘beautiful’ credentials at an affordable price. This campaign does exactly that – and all with the trademark sense of humour associated with the Renault brand in Australia.”
Says Simon Veksner, head of ideas at Naked Communications: “For years, SUV buyers have had to wrestle with the ultimate trade off – sacrificing style for practicality. We wanted to let Australians know that with the Koleos they can finally get both in the one beautiful, capable package.”
The campaign includes TV, outdoor and online.

A funny cute spot. Good casting and well directed.
Simple.. silly.. funny
Charming commercial.
I was wondering how the hell the car related to the comedy….but then nicely tied off…and dogs kissed..
Love the choice of track, works well with the cheesy moments. Stands out amongst all those “look at our shots of 3D cars on 3D roads” commercials. This is Too Good!
fun little ad. dogs at the end a nice little gag.
Great change from your regular auto ad
These ads seem really fun, plus its a great new direction for Renault. Good to see them step away from that awful red background ad thats always playing on Foxtel.
The talent seem real and humorous all in one. Nice place to be.
Tom Ward is sooooo hot right now.
Why do people keep trying to cram 60 sec scripts into 30?It’s a F&*#@ mess.
Damien got his dog in there !
Fun ads, with an unusual mix.
loved it
