Auto website promises everyone their own personal car commercial (yes, everyone)

Ad Nut tries to watch all the different videos in each campaign that comes along, but may have to make an exception in this case.

By cleverly combining filmed footage with listing information and photos posted by sellers, Carsales is offering every person who lists their vehicle on its site "their very own big, expensive-feeling car ad".

The appropriately named 'AutoAds' campaign (get it?) uses an algorithm to combine hundreds of filmed scenes and thousands of voiceover clips with the seller-posted information, rearranging the footage with different visuals in a process that could in theory create up to 1.2 trillion variations, according to the agency.

Each seller receives five 40-second ads to choose from and post on their Facebook page, one each under the themes of Adventure, Family, Tough, Luxury and City. Each spot has bespoke music designed by Loner Productions. Comedy director Tony Rogers helmed the filmed scenes, which star actor Kai Smythe.

Here's a small sampling of 20 commercials the agency provided:

• Amy's Subaru Liberty Family Ad
• Bianca's Hyundai i30 Luxury Ad
• Darryl's Mazda 6 Family Ad
• Fiona's Ford Falcon Luxury Ad
• Georgia's Jeep Wrangler Tough Ad
• Aaron's Daihatsu Terios Adventure Ad
• Christopher's Toyota Hilux Tough Ad
• Darren's Nissan Skyline Luxury Ad
• Elizabeth's Nissan Pulsar City Ad
• Jenny's Toyota Tarago Family Ad
• Julian's Ford Falcon City Ad
• Nigel's Mercedes 280SL Luxury Ad
• Pat's Toyota Camry Adventure Ad
• Raj's Ford Ranger Tough Ad
• Ricky's Mitsubishi Lancer Adventure Ad
• Tara's BMW 3series Adventure Ad
• Tim's VW Combi City Ad
• Troy's Ford Falcon Family Ad
• Warren's Kia Sorrento City Ad
• Wayne's Ford Transit Tough Ad

Ad Nut is seriously impressed. That the ads all seem to be not merely tolerable but actually enjoyable is quite an achievement indeed.
