GWM TELLS AUSTRALIANS ‘FACTORIES DON’T MAKE FAMILY CARS, FAMILIES DO’ IN NEW HAVAL H6 CAMPAIGN VIA THE HALLWAY
This week sees the launch of GWM Australia & New Zealand’s new Haval H6 campaign, created by Independent advertising agency, The Hallway. The campaign explores the essence of what makes the H6 a great family car while bringing some endearing humanity, levity, and reality to the polished perfection of automotive advertising.
The H6, the campaign informs us, is conceived by the world’s greatest designers, engineered with the most progressive technology, and designed to the highest possible safety standards. The thing that makes it a family car though, is families themselves, in all their lovably imperfect glory. The campaign rolls out across TV, OOH, social and display.
Says Steve Maciver, Head of Marketing & Communications, GWM Australia & New Zealand: “The quality and production values across our GWM marketing campaigns continue to improve and reflect the radical improvements in product quality and technology that we’re seeing with every new generation of GWM product. This H6 Haval campaign does a great job of fusing product truth and cultural insight in an entertaining way, and we expect it to play an important part in continuing GWM’s growth across Australia and New Zealand.”
Adds The Hallway CCO & Partner Simon Lee: “We’re on a great creative journey with Steve and the GWM team. And it’s a journey that’s driving powerful impact: the brand is going from strength to strength, and GWM has already broken their Australian annual sales record this year, with three months still to go.”

Excellent! Great stuff Hallway
Great work Ariel!
Lovely Ad. Well done.
Nice one guys. Like the films.
(Outdoor a bit family-less though?)
Well worn strategy.
name your references or keep it quiet.
I like the OOH…nice Art direction.
Lovely. Reckon this will be v. effective with the target market. Love the simple strat: we made a car, you made it a family car.
Films are great. OOH looks like a knockoff of the Polestar work but not as nice.
…at best!
Like it
That works.
Well done Ariel. Beautiful stuff.
Solid.
Boring family car tropes. Yawn.
Get some ideas Holeway.
ideas like your teenager puns.
Put your name to it son. It’s OK to have an opinion, but don’t be a sad coward.
Cliched, derivative, and with those puberts perving, disturbing.
Give ‘em 6 months and 500k, not 2 seconds, and see what ideas you get.
I love these Polestar ads!
Yeah, I like the TVC!
Absolutely love my H6. Hubby bought it for me for my birthday late 2022. Absolute dream to drive. Thanks GWM for making this vehicle.
