Sometimes an Enormous Truck is Needed to Get Your Sales Pitch Across

Electriclime° has partnered with VMLY&R in Sydney to create a funny new spot for petroleum brand Caltex

The 30-second film was directed by Matt Kamen, and takes place in a warehouse office where a fleet manager and a Caltex Salesman are in mid-conversation discussing Caltex’s Diesel and Lubricant products.

The pitch is that the brand’s diesel fuel with Techron D and Delo lubricants are two products with triple the advantage: Reliability, Durability, and Efficiency.


 

There is a bit of confusion until, with the help of a passing truck with the longest trailer in human history, the fleet manager eventually wraps his head around the concept and realizes what the salesman is trying to get across.
