Oscar viewers who are seeking on Google the Cadillac that "dared greatly" are suddenly hearing Matthew McConaughey's voice, thanks to Lincoln's SEO skills.
Autoblog reports the first instance of Lincoln's slogan hijacking appeared less than 24 hours after Cadillac's "Dare Greatly" adverts aired during the 87th Academy Awards. As seen above, those wanting to know more about Cadillac — and about that mysterious car making a brief appearance in a separate Oscars advert — will find a sponsored link for the brand at the top, followed by Lincoln's version of the truth in second.
Originally, the second sponsored link — which read, "Dare Greatly – It's not about making a statement, it's about doing what you love" — directed consumers to Lincoln's homepage, greeting them with the sight of the 2015 MKZ Hybrid. Since then, the link directs to the same page, but the image is that of the 2015 MKC. The link's slogan, meanwhile, changes with every search; for this author, it currently reads, "You don't have to make a statement when you know who you are," likely a swipe at brand president Johan de Nysschen's and brand director Melody Lee's ambitions and aspirations for Cadillac.
As for the Oscars campaign, AutoTrader said that searches for Cadillac jumped 53 percent within an hour after the first advert aired.
