Twilight for SsangYong
Stephen Ottley February 14, 2011 - 5:15PM SsangYong is hoping vampires can bring its brand back from the dead. The struggling South Korean brand is trying to cash in on the popular vampire themed books and films including Twilight with the marketing campaign for its new Korando C compact SUV. “Our print ads for Korando have a vampire theme leveraging the enormous popularity of the genre in the 25-40 year age group, the vampire cult having been estimated to have generated $7 billion across the global economy in 2010,” said Steve Thomas, SsangYong Australia’s national sales and marketing manager at the Korando launch. The ads including taglines such as “Make sure you're home before dawn” and “Killer Looks” with digitally added vampire fangs on the image of the Korando. The company is targeting the 25-39 year old age group with its latest car as it attempts to build its brand image with a new customer base.

Don't mind the look of it personally.
The engine specs for the Diesel are pretty impressive as well on paper. As for their choice of marketing campaign... If it works then who cares what medium is used? |

How did those cars even end up in Australia to begin with? I mean who seriously looked at these cars and though "yeah, this will sell like hotcakes in Australia. Let's do it"?
That person better not have a job right now. |

I'd say go for a Nissan Dualis instead....... looks similar, but likely about 1000% better.
