American commercial series for Japanese car brand Subaru. The ad campaign features The Barkleys, a dog family doing human things with a tad of humour.
Simple human activities can look fun when you have adorable pets, anime characters or other cute things doing that. It’s a timeless marketing ploy.

Subaru is the seventh largest car maker in Japan in terms of sales. It also falls behind the Japanese big three – Toyota, Honda, Nissan – in the American market.
The brand does appeal to a niche group of consumers though, both in Japan and internationally. Their sales have always been steady in recent years.
