🚗Rolls-Royce: A Masterclass in Luxury Advertising


Rolls-Royce: A Masterclass in Luxury Advertising
Rolls-Royce

In 1958, David Ogilvy, often called the "Father of Advertising," crafted one of the most memorable ads in history for Rolls-Royce. The iconic headline, “At 60 miles an hour, the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock,” was a stroke of genius that emphasized the vehicle’s quiet luxury. Ogilvy’s deep understanding of the Rolls-Royce audience—upper-class individuals seeking peace, quiet, and luxury—allowed him to create an ad that connected with the desires of the affluent customer.


The ad was much more than a clever line; it was a carefully crafted narrative that positioned Rolls-Royce as the pinnacle of automotive excellence. By focusing on the silence and smoothness of the ride, Ogilvy turned a technical feature into an aspirational benefit, making the car a symbol of refined elegance. The ad featured detailed descriptions of the car’s craftsmanship, including its engine being tested at full throttle for seven hours before installation, further emphasizing the brand’s commitment to perfection.
