So I really like the freeview advert, don’t know why, but when I saw the Ford Fiesta advert tonight I couldn’t help but notice the similarities… Or is it just me???

Ford Fiesta Advert

Superb ad by Ogilvy Advertising London for the all-new Ford Fiesta, shot in Berlin, directed by Noah Harris. The music is by Pluxus, it’s called “Transient”.
UPDATE (10:47pm 26th Jan)
Tim from Mumbrella kindly directed me to this article from The Australian in December.
FORD is considering pulling advertising from free-to-air television because the $50 million-plus campaign for Freeview is too similar to a Ford Fiesta commercial the carmaker planned to launch here next month.
