Citibank commercial
In the end of 2011, "Into the Wild" was prominently used in a
Citibank ThankYou Card national TV ad campaign, featuring rock climbers
Katie Brown and
Alex Honnold. The song received vast exposure in the commercial,[2] as it had millions of plays on
YouTube.[3] Both the commercial and the lyrics to the song were a subject of discussion: "Viewers of the commercial are almost as curious about the lyrics to the song", said
Jeanne Moos on
CNN.[4]
