After releasing a new advertising on Tuesday as part of the classic car company’s marketing strategy, Jaguar is facing major backlash on social media and being labeled” Bud Light 2.0.”
In a picture advert shared on X, previously Online, Jaguar introduced the government this week to its reimagined brand and” Copy Nothing” rebranding plan.
Androgynous models are spotted in the advertising wearing controversial outfits. A person is one of the models in the advertisements who is dressed up. The advertising features slogans like as “break moulds”,” produce exuberant”, “delete ordinary”, and “live brilliant”.
However, despite being part of a vehicle marketing strategy, the advertising did not contain a single vehicle in the whole video.
In a Monday press transfer, Jaguar announced that the car business is entering a “new age” under the” Copy Nothing” plan.
Chief Creative Officer Professor Gerry McGovern OBE wrote,” Jaguar has its origins in originality. Sir William Lyons, our leader, believed that’ A Jaguar should be a duplicate of little.’ This theory serves as the foundation for our current Jaguar vision. Passionate Modernism is the foundation of the New Jaguar brand. It is clever, strong and artistic at every brand. It is special and courageous”.
McGovern claimed that the “reimagining” of the Jaguar brand “recaptures the nature” of the brand and restores it to the principles that previously defined it, making the product “relevant for a modern market”

Tuesday’s ad was immediately met with backlash on social press, with numerous social media users criticizing the company for evaluating “wokeness” and “modernism”.
Columnist Jon Gabriel tweeted,” This is so the bad schedule for this. You entirely misinterpreted the 2022 C-suite meeting, though I understand how they are being conned into this. Bud Light 2.0″. Robby Starbuck, a conservative activist, wrote,” This just made me want to sell my Jaguar and I do n’t even own a Jaguar”.
PR firm CEO Craig Lucie commented,” I see# jaguar is trending. The proper marketing and information group is crucial because of this. You sell vehicles. Nothing about the history of your item is revealed in this advertisement to prospective buyers. What can you learn from this advertisement?
Another social media users encouraged Jaguar to “fire” its advertising company in light of Tuesday’s “awful” rebranding plan.
Tesla CEO and X user Elon Musk also trolled the car business on social media, asking,” Would you buy automobiles”? In reply, Jaguar wrote,” Yes. We’d love to show you. Visit us for a cuppa in Miami on 2nd December? Warmest respect, Jaguar”.
