This week we have a special Throwback Thursday Clip of the Week from Easterns. This clip is a jingle commercial that was shot back in 2007 starring Ray Lewis, LaVar Arrington, and Clinton Portis. This is single-handedly the most well known Easterns commercial to date having over one million combined views on YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. During the time that the commercial was filmed, both Arrington and Portis were playing for the Washington Ravens while Ray Lewis was playing for the Baltimore Ravens. These three coming together was a perfect way to unify the DC, Maryland, and Virginia community by highlighting players from both teams to come together to sing along, have fun, and represent a great brand. Easterns was one of the very first used car dealers both locally and nationally to have professional athletes in their commercials singing and dancing. These commercials because a part of people?s lives because it was one of the very few times that they were able to see some of their favorite athletes out of their normal serious and stern football characters. Many brands and companies have been influenced by marketing behind Easterns because they finally saw something that worked. We hope that you enjoy this clip! Feel free to sing along.

Throwback Thursday Clip of the Week ? Eastern Motors Jingle Commercial w/ Kevin Pollak
We?re back again for another Throwback Thursday Clip of the Week. The star of this particular clip from the past is Kevin Pollak. Pollak is an American actor, comedian, and impressionist from San Francisco, California. To date, he is most known for his signature impressions of Christopher Walken, Alan Arkin, Robert De Niro, and Eddie Murphy just to name a few. Pollak was in also in several hit movies such as Dr. Dolittle 2, War Dogs, and The Unusual Suspects. Television is also his resume. Throughout his career, he has been viewed by people as such a funny guy with a great sense of humor. Being that Easterns is a brand that also represents fun with their jingle; they thought that having Pollak on board would be a no brainer. The good thing is that when we arrived to the set, he came with the same warm and silly energy that he translates through his work. The shoot was a blast! Pollak is truly a character and an awesome yet fun person to be around. He got into the Mercedes-Benz and put his own spin on the Easterns jingle by adding his funny faces and hand gestures. Commercials like this are what separates Easterns from other car dealerships in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area. Easterns is always able to see and think outside the box. This commercial was one for the books!
