Action News 5 Commercial Shoot 9.25.25

Action News 5 Commercial Shoot 9.25.25

Lights, Camera, Community: Behind the Scenes of Our Action News 5 Commercial

Every now and then, we get the chance to do something a little different—and this time, it involved cameras, creativity, and a whole lot of personality.

Toyota of Hernando recently teamed up with Action News 5 for a commercial shoot right here at the dealership, and let’s just say… our very own General Manager, Garrett McDonald, stole the show.

Fully embracing the moment, Garrett suited up in the Toyota of Hernando tiger costume, bringing our brand to life in a fun, memorable way that perfectly captures the energy of our dealership. It was one of those moments that reminded us marketing doesn’t always have to be serious—it just has to be real.

Adding to the fun, local social media creator Foodie Jimmy made a special cameo appearance, bringing his signature personality and helping make the shoot even more memorable. It’s always great to collaborate with creators who are as passionate about the community as we are.

From behind-the-scenes laughs to getting the perfect shot, the entire day was a great experience for our team. It also gave us the opportunity to collaborate with an incredible production crew and highlight what makes Toyota of Hernando unique—our people.

At the end of the day, this wasn’t just about filming a commercial. It was about showing the personality behind our brand and the community-driven culture we’re proud of.

Be on the lookout for the final spot—you won’t want to miss it.
