2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD 'Max and Al' campaign

Chevrolet has launched a new marketing campaign that focuses on the new 2011 Silverado HD pickup line, the Duramax Diesel and Allison transmission. Known as the “Max and Al” campaign, the ads feature contrasts between the proven durability and performance of the powertrain.

“Max and Al are creative expressions of the confidence we have in Chevy trucks,” said Tony Truelove, Silverado marketing manager, “and a lighthearted way to call out our competitors. We think Max and Al will connect with the heavy-duty enthusiasts who are passionate about the capabilities of their trucks, and ignite a lot conversation in the truck world.”

The “Max and Al” campaign was created by Campbell-Ewald and will run through 2010.
