David&Goliath is launching a new campaign for VIZIO, championing the brand’s P-Series Ultra HD TV, which has four times higher resolution than standard HD.

The campaign debuts tomorrow with the broadcast spot “Fallen Tree.” In the 30-second ad, a family is so captivated by their P-Series Ultra HD TV that they fail to realize a fallen tree has crashed through their window, even as a rescue team arrives. “With four times the resolution, nothing is more captivating,” says the voiceover at the spot’s conclusion. While it may not be the most innovative approach, it showcases the P-Series Ultra HD TV well and is flexible enough for a number of future variations on the theme.

A second spot, “Turkey Dinner” follows in the same formula, with a pair of dogs devouring a turkey dinner while their owners are too captivated watching football to notice. “Turkey Dinner” and a third spot, entitled “Pillow Fight” will roll out in the coming months, with all three ads airing on national cable.

Yesterday, we brought you news of David&Goliath’s teaser for their big game spot, “The Truth,” promoting the all-new 2015 K900, Kia’s first-ever luxury car. Today, David&Goliath and Kia revealed the extended, 90 second version of their Super Bowl ad, designed to “dispel the notion that tradition and history are what makes a luxury sedan,” according to Michael Sprague, executive vice president of marketing & communications, KMA.

“The Truth” features Laurence Fishburne reprising his role as Morpheus from The Matrix. Morpheus offers a couple waiting for the valet outside a restaurant a choice: “Take the blue key, you go back to the luxury you know. Take the red key, and you’ll never look at luxury the same again.” (Spoiler alert: They take the red key.)  Fishburne repeats the word “luxury” ad nauseum during the spot’s first 30 seconds or so, really hammering home that Kia is now offering a luxury vehicle. The spot manages to contain a lot of the Matrix references you’d expect, like a bending spoon and an explosion filled action sequence. But at the same time, “The Truth,” via Fishburne, manages at least one big surprise.

The 60 second version of “The Truth” will debut during the third quarter of the Super Bowl this Sunday, Feb. 2, launching the Kia’s campaign for the 2015 K900 in earnest, and marking Kia’s fifth consecutive year advertising in the big game. You can expect more Matrix-themed advertising from David&Goliath and Kia. Before and after the Super Bowl, David&Goliath’s integrated campaign “will incorporate TV, cinema, digital, print, experiential, social media and CRM components, all drawing heavily on imagery and ideas from the films.” Credits after the jump. continued…
