Throwback Thursday Clip of the Week ? Eastern Motors Commercial Skit w/ Jason Campbell and Chris Cooley

It?s that time of the week! We are back to bring you another Throwback Thursday Clip of Week from Easterns Automotive Group. For this commercial, Easterns recruited NFL stars Jason Campbell and Jason Cooley during their time playing football for the Washington Redskins. Usually the talent in the Easterns commercials sings along to the jingle but this time they wanted to try something different. Since both Campbell and Cooley were football players it made perfect sense to do a skit. It made perfect sense that the commercial skit was filmed in the Redskins locker room. The two players exchanged dialogue and went back and fourth about their football skills until Cooley accused Campbell of spending all his time buying cars at Eastern Motors instead of improving his football skills. Campbell didn?t deny his love for Easterns but he did challenge what Cooley said by making Cooley admit that he also loves to drive cars from Easterns as well. After watching the commercial, fans were able to take away that Easterns was the place to go when looking for a car and also how competitive these two are when it comes to the sport that they love.

Alex Ovechkin Commercial

It seems like these weeks are flying by! We?re back again to bring you another Throwback Thursday clip of the week from Easterns Automotive Group. This commercial is special because Easterns went a different route than they normally do. They recruited NHL hockey player Alexander ?Alex? Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals. He comes with an amazing track in the world of hockey. Ovechkin is the 37th player in NHL history to reach 1,000 points with just one team. His role with Easterns turned out to be a match made in heaven. Ovechkin was perfect for the commercial and definitely had so much fun while singing the Easterns jingle. For those who don?t know, Ovechkin is of Russian decent so he has a thick accent when pronouncing words in English. The pronunciation of his words along with his great sense of humor made for an awesome commercial. To this day, fans still repost this commercial on social media calling it one of their favorites. Easterns definitely has a little something for everyone!

Alfred Morris Eastern Motors Commercial

Easterns Automotive Group is back again this week with another Throwback Thursday clip of the week. In this commercial clip, Alfred Morris got his groove on and sang along with the notorious Easterns jingle. Alfred Morris played in the NFL as a running back with the Washington Redskins from 2012 until 2015. During his time playing, Easterns thought that he would make a good fit to be a part of their movement. This ended up being a smart choice because Morris was able to bring a sense of humor and fun to the Easterns brand. Most athletes don?t like to put that much flavor into their jingle and add funny dance moves but Morris did just that. He knew just how to make his commercial memorable. His impressive dance moves definitely stole the show because he made the Easterns jingle his own. The Easterns jingle commercials provide fans with a glimpse of some of their favorite players off the field. It?s hard to tell a player?s personality on the field but when you get them off the field you can see exactly who they are. People definitely enjoyed seeing Morris in another light.

Throwback Thursday Clip of the Week ? Eastern Motors Jingle Commercial w/ John Witherspoon

Easterns Automotive Group is back again with another Throwback Thursday clip of the week. Starring in the Easterns commercial this week is the one and only actor and comedian, John Witherspoon. John aka ?Pops? is most known for his roles in the Friday movies, The Wayans Bros (television show), and The Boondocks (television show). A fun fact is that John is the only person to have roles in all three of the Friday films. He has one of super funny yet distinct voices that anyone can recognize when they hear it.

We caught up with Joel Bassam (The Director of Marketing at Eastern Motors) to discuss this particular clip. ?It was only right to have John on board for the Easterns jingle. He was a perfect fit and everyone loves him. It?s evident that he added a touch of fun to the Easterns brand.?

This commercial is an example of one of the few times that Easterns branched out from their typical athlete commercials. This was definitely great to showcase another side of the brand and smart to attract a different demographic that may not have been familiar with Eastern Motors. At Eastern Motors, your job is your credit!
