It alienated some people so instead we have created a modern digital space.”- http://www.brandrepublic.com/go/news/article/1225495/auto-trader-readies-ad-assault-back-digital-future/
The ad itself will consist of a number of things. Firstly Auto Trader will be showing their new logo. This is a huge deal as the previous logo had not been altered since the 1970’s.
