Al Roker, “America’s Weatherman,” is featured in this commercial for BMW’s annual Summer Sales Event, part of a campaign from Goodby Silverstein & Partners (GS&P).
Directed by Win Bates via Tool of North America, the “Summer Is All Yours Spot” finds Roker intentionally giving an inaccurate rainy weather forecast on social media. Roker is then seen cruising to the shoreline in his all-electric BMW i4 to enjoy a perfect beach day all to himself.
“Saying Al’s personality is as electric as the BMW cars we are promoting would be a cliché, so I won’t say it. But wait...I think I just did,” said Rich Silverstein, co-chairman and co-founder at GS&P.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Al Roker, a true entertainment icon whose passion and trademark charm fit beautifully with the BMW brand,” added GS&P executive creative director Matt Edwards.
