The multi-million dollar global marketing campaign for Need for Speed Hot Pursuit will be anchored by an online and broadcast TV advertising campaign starring pop culture icons Kevin Dillon and Jerry Ferrara. The two actors play the roles of parking valets frustrated by their inability to hit the open road in the many exotic performance vehicles that pull up to the five-star hotel where they work. In the fiction of the campaign, these friends/frenemies can only live out their fantasies of reaching 200mph by playing Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and besting each other’s top scores.
These witty and edgy commercials capture the rebelliousness of battling as a cop or a racer in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. The first three of the five videos are now live on
