NBA all-star Blake Griffin continues to showcase his comedic talents in an all-new advertisement campaign for the 2015 Kia Optima — available at Jim Butler Kia, the St. Louis Kia Superstore.
Griffin
enters his fourth campaign for Kia as a global brand ambassador. His deadpan
delivery and comedic skills take center stage — other than maybe the 2015 Optima — in a series of three 60 and 30-second commercials, the first to air on
Christmas Day during NBA coverage. In the latest batch of ads, Griffin
headlines as the lead actor in big-budget action movies spanning ancient Rome,
the Old West and an aircraft carrier.
Griffin
improvises the script of each movie and ditches the scripted method of
transportation for a brand new Kia Optima. The commercials will air on TV, the
Internet and through various social media elements. The first 60-second spot
entitled “The Showdown” can be viewed on YouTube. The
other commercials will air on television during the NBA season.
After
Griffin won the Sprite Slam Dunk Competition in 2011 by jumping over a Kia
Optima, Griffin helped to grow the brand by starring in a variety of
commercials from a time-traveling Optima to a member of a crime-fighting duo
with funnyman Jack McBrayer last season.
The
Optima is Kia’s No. 1 selling model in the United States, and it’s available at
the St. Louis Kia Superstore, Jim Butler Kia of Chesterfield Valley. The 2015 Optima is powered by a 2.4-liter, gasoline direct injection (GDI) 4-cylinder
engine or an available 2.0-L turbo GDI engine as well as a 2.4-L hybrid
powertrain. Unique 18-inch chrome wheels, premium Nappa leather-trimmed seats
and LED fog lights don the SXL trim.
