The marketing campaign for the Need for Speed film involved actor Aaron Paul appearing on various television shows and media platforms. He appeared on Top Gear, which has a similar target audience to the film of males aged 18-40 interested in cars. On the show, he did a short interview about the film and a race track challenge. He also appeared on The Graham Norton Show, which attracts a wider audience including women and a broader age range. The document argues that Top Gear was the most effective media platform for reaching the film's intended target audience due to its similar demographic focus. It also asserts that Aaron Paul was well-suited to lead the marketing campaign because of his popularity from Breaking Bad.
