POLESTAR - Polestar, the pure-play premium electric car company, has announced that it will debut its first-ever Super Bowl ad during the game on February 13, 2022. The 30-second spot will air in the first quarter of the game, and the company has teased the spot with a 15-second preview. This is the first time Polestar will advertise during such an internationally watched and recognized sporting event.
The ad centers around Polestar’s ethos of ‘no compromises’ and features the Polestar 2 electric performance fastback. As with its products, the spot will toss aside traditional expressions for big-game advertising.
Staying true to Polestar’s minimalist brand identity, the graphical ad is visually simple, allowing punchy words in white on black to share the message.
“The Super
Bowl is an iconic event and I’m excited to bring Polestar’s message to such a
wide audience,” says Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO. “We are a young and
ambitious brand. We believe in ‘no compromises’, for our design language, our
sustainability efforts, and the performance of our cars, and we wanted to share
that philosophy with this ad. This is the perfect place to further raise
awareness of our brand in the US, and beyond.”
The ad
supports Polestar’s progress as it continues to drive growth in the coming
years. In January 2022 the company announced that it delivered on its global
sales target of 29,000 vehicles in 2021, representing year-on-year growth
exceeding 185%.
In 2021,
Polestar also announced its plans to launch three new cars over the next three
years. The first of these, Polestar 3, a premium electric performance SUV, is
expected to launch in 2022. As previously announced, Polestar intends to
manufacture Polestar 3 in both China and the US. Polestar also intends to list
on the Nasdaq in a proposed business combination with Gores Guggenheim, Inc.
(Nasdaq: GGPI, GGPIW, and GGPIU), which is expected to close in the first half
of 2022.
