Combining Humor and Relatability

Tempe-based Carvana, the foremost online marketplace for buying and selling used vehicles, has unveiled a nationwide advertising campaign featuring Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor Jon Hamm, lending his wit and charm to spotlight just how simple it is to sell a car through the platform. The campaign includes a series of engaging commercials set to roll out across broadcast TV, digital channels, and streaming services, using Hamm’s approachable style to emphasize Carvana’s hassle-free car-selling experience.

PHOENIX–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Carvana (NYSE: CVNA), an industry pioneer for buying and selling used cars online, today announced a new national campaign in collaboration with Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor Jon Hamm. The campaign highlights how easy it is to sell your car to Carvana, as Hamm brings his signature humor and relatability to a series of new ads launching across digital, broadcast, and streaming platforms.

The campaign kicks off with a 30-second spot titled “Excuses,” in which Hamm tries to get out of an awkward social obligation by claiming he has to handle the time-consuming task of selling his car. The problem? Carvana makes the process so fast and simple that his excuse immediately unravels, especially since his car is already sold and loaded onto a Carvana hauler just a few feet away.

“Jon Hamm’s comedic timing brings the entire campaign to life and perfectly highlights how Carvana takes the hassle out of selling a car,” said Ryan Keeton, Carvana co-founder and chief brand officer. “We’ve made it easier than ever to sell your car online, and Jon helps us share that message with the signature humor and charm he’s known for.”

Developed by Carvana’s in-house creative team, the campaign will roll out nationwide across digital, broadcast, and streaming platforms starting today. “Excuses” is the first of two commercial spots featuring Hamm that Carvana will debut throughout the year alongside additional social content. The campaign continues Carvana’s tradition of pairing engaging talent and lighthearted humor to showcase how Carvana drives its customers happy with a process that’s fun, fast, and fair.

According to @azcommerce, a delegation of more than 30 Arizona legislative, business and economic development leaders completed a four-day trade mission to Ireland. The visit focused on expanding partnerships in high-tech industries, research, innovation and workforce development. Arizona and Ireland share strengths in semiconductors, medical technology, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, pharmaceuticals and clean energy. Trade between Arizona and Ireland exceeded $850 million in 2025.

The delegation met with officials from the U.S. Embassy in Dublin, Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs and IDA Ireland. Members also visited Dublin City University and Trinity College Dublin to discuss research and workforce partnerships. At Intel Ireland, the group toured a campus that employs nearly 5,000 people and includes Fab 34, Europe’s first high-volume semiconductor facility to use Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Intel’s Fab 52 in Chandler also uses EUV technology and will manufacture Intel 18A chips, highlighting the semiconductor connections between Arizona and Ireland.

Additional visits included the Guinness Enterprise Centre, Enterprise Ireland and a roundtable hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland. The delegation also visited the Irish Parliament in Dublin, where lawmakers formally recognized the Arizona group during a parliamentary session. #ireland #irishdelegation #trademission #silicondesert #metrophx
Cyclic Materials opened its first commercial-scale rare earth magnet recycling facility in @cityofmesa, strengthening the domestic supply of rare earth elements and critical minerals.

The plant can process up to 25,000 metric tons of end-of-life products containing magnets each year. Cyclic Materials will recover rare earth magnet concentrate through its Mag-Xtract™ process, along with critical materials such as copper, aluminum and steel. Federal, state and local leaders joined company executives to celebrate the facility’s grand opening. #cyclicmaterials #silicondesert #mesaaz #advancedmanufacturing #metrophx

Tempe-based Dutch Bros Coffee plans to acquire 51 former Salad and Go locations after the fast-casual chain filed for bankruptcy, with the ongoing cyclosporiasis outbreak contributing to its collapse. Court documents filed Tuesday in federal bankruptcy court identify a Dutch Bros-affiliated LLC as the buyer of dozens of Salad and Go restaurants in Arizona and Nevada, along with leases for additional former locations in Texas and Oklahoma. #saladandgo #dutchbros #dutchbroscoffee #tempeaz #drivethru
Salad and Go filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday and announced it will permanently close all of its locations, serving its final meals Wednesday. The Gilbert-founded drive-thru restaurant chain submitted voluntary bankruptcy petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas in Houston.

The company said declining consumer demand, rapid expansion challenges, and rising operating costs made its business unsustainable. Salad and Go also said the Cyclospora foodborne illness outbreak in July hurt sales, even though health officials did not link the chain to the contamination. #saladandgo #gilbertaz #cyclospora #bankruptcy #chapter11
