GM brand Buick is once again putting the focus on women’s sports with a new take on the “See Her Greatness” campaign that featured in last year’s Buick marketing as well.
Noting that Buick has “the highest percentage of female buyers in the industry,” chief marketing officer Molly Peck said that in 2023 “we’re being even more expansive in our efforts to drive recognition for these amazing athletes.”

This year’s See Her Greatness ads will focus on five female athletes, including Aliyah Boston, Cameron Brink, Caitlin Clark, Azzi Fudd and Kiki Rice. Each of the women will feature in her own one-minute mini-documentary giving details on her life and achievements. A shorter “hero video” provides an overall introduction to the campaign.
Buick is featuring the five college basketball players to drive tournament viewership and raise awareness. The automotive brand is partnering with ESPN and Disney Advertising for a new approach to advertisements which it says will be available “across the ESPN digital ecosystem.”
Clicking on a Buick ad during the Women’s March Madness tournament will take the viewer to the ESPN Women’s College Basketball Watch Hub. From there, it’s easily possible to view both highlights and complete games.
“Women’s sports coverage has been a critical piece of our business blueprint for decades and will continue to be a priority as we move into the future,” according to Disney Advertising executive Theresa Palmieri. She also says ESPN is “proud to collaborate” with Buick and other brands committed to women’s sports.
Buick notes that it will purchase an equal number of ad spots in the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments this year. The “See Her Greatness” ad campaign will continue throughout the year.
Buick is additionally sponsoring a TikTok challenge under the hashtag #SeeHerGreatness, which asks users to share their sports and fitness drills, clips of games, trick shots, and related videos. The automaker is also continuing its partnership, started as part of last year’s See Her Greatness campaign, with female-owned media company TOGETHXR that hosts host so-called “mentor huddles” enabling viewers listen in on live conversations between female athletes at big NCAA events.

I will when it gets more entertaining. I’m not about to choose what I do based off woke agendas. Ditto with dominos new EV pizza delivery commercial. I’m not going to order dominoes because you featured a Chevy bolt in your commercial. Actually I’m more Likley to buy papa johns because theirs spent all their airtime showing me cheese.
Dominos has a history with Chevrolet EVs though. They were using the Spark EV back in the day as a custom made pizza delivery vehicle, long before the word “woke” was being thrown around.
Great, GM’s woke, this solves all Buicks problems. How bout just advertising the product and why I should want to buy it. I think if you make your share holders happy with say a higher dividend then 2 to3% you would generate more capital to make your EV’s without starving the ICE products.
Fitting that a product nobody really buys would support a product nobody really watches.
MRB, good point, would those um women even fit In one.
Literally nobody watches women’s sports because they are boring. That is why all women’s sports have to be subsidized by men’s sports or some other third party. There is zero market for it. Yet it is forced down our throats as if we are missing something. We aren’t. It’s boring.
“Literally nobody watches women’s sports because they are boring.”
And figuratively nobody buys Buicks because they are boring. This is a perfect match.
Too bad the woke politics that GM supports are killing any interest in watching women’s sports.
Isn’t it ironic that women’s sports don’t get the viewership like men’s sports even though women make up 50.5% of the population. Even women don’t like watching women’s sports.
Exactly!
This is stupid. Also too many of these women athletes are lunatic radical activists, they don’t encourage people to watch them because of their crap politics. And to add insult to injury, women do not watch much sports, and when they do its men’s sports. Its women viewers they need to target, but thats already a fail because women wont respond.
