the essential element that makes the spot appealing is that Navigon chooses to talk straight about the GPS category. The tone of the spot is very straight forward. The personality of the brand is most evident in the language and plain speaking nature of the voice over
Shows important features other GPS devices don’t like roadsGet from point A to point B without a Single F. In our opinion, the print executions for the American version of the Navigon campaign are simple, clean and elegant.Other GPS devices want to breed with it. Call work, tell them you are running a little earlyNAVIGON the only GPS device with Reality View and free Lifetime Trafficsimple elegance adds to the sophistication of the brand. Additionally, we feel that by focusing solely on the product we offer the viewer a strikingly different visual point of view than what the other GPS competitors are doing.the product is what it is all about. Even choosing to use the more dramatic angles as opposed to a straight on shot, create a sleeker looking ad that seems more upscale. The use of the dramatic shadowing also enhances the overall sophisticated look of the product. Positioning the product using these guidelines was not random. Finally, these ads assume that the most important part of the relationship with the customer is that they are getting a product that offers something no other product does—in this case Reality View.
