Nice…
What the hell is going on at Saatchi?
The wheels have fallen off and the rental is a dud
This is just an execution from Y&R’s brand platform work from early 2018.
It makes sense to continue to use the platform, but it doesn’t make sense for a song and dance press release to claim it as your own.
Having worked on Thrifty before, it’s a challenging client so well done on anything something pretty positive made
All things considered – not bad.
Honestly, considering how painful this client is, this isn’t bad.
Brought a smile to this old hag’s face. Great direction.
Great performances. Solid direction.
An average spot for a very average client and brand. I’m glad it won’t move the needle.
People are going to look for the vehicle they want online and then find the cheapest price… I don’t hate it, but this ain’t gonna rent more cars.
Can’t fault something that makes you smile!
Great performances.
Pretty bad. Loads of potential with Thrifty. No excuses. Shame it wasn’t like this classic one…

No doubt everyone loves that spot…but it also cost the agency the business…
Advertising is easy when you don’t even get the client’s approval.
Very sweet spot for what I can imagine was a challenging brief. Nice work guys.
Made me smile.
