Beyond boomer stereotypes
Article Abstract:
General Motors Corp's relaunching of the Chevrolet Impala went by way of an advertising campaign that aimed to capture a significant portion of the 50-something population or the so-called baby boomers. General Motors teamed up with MacLaren McCann to produce a television spot that evokes nostalgia about the Impala but at the same time without the sentimentality that often accompanies nostalgic advertising. As part of the advertisement's unique slant, originally scored sound tracks were used along with a retro-style girl being given a lift in the car.
