Ford Malaysia’s Ford Ranger Matchbox

This advertisement for the Ford Ranger back in 2006 was developed by JW Thompson’s Malaysian team for Ford Malaysia. It’s basically a matchbox with matchsticks in them (what else did you expect?) to promote the Ford Ranger Extreme’s extendable cargo bed. It’s really quite clever - it looks like the little Ranger is carrying the matches in the box if viewed from the proper angle.

    Does it work like those ‘Awas muatan panjang’ lorries we see on the roads?

    A simple ad - but one that really attracts attention.

    The creativity of advertising never ceases in the heads of the Creative Directors.

    Cheers!

    true2 it the best pickup…i mean real pickup. If uses Hilux or Triton…”alamak sayangnye takut calar”. If uses Ranger…..”lets rock”
