Get back to what matters

Thanks to COVID-19, spending all our time indoors got us thinking about getting away and finding ourselves again; in places we can only reach with a 4x4. It was time for some truck therapy.

To mark the release of the all-new 2022 Nissan Frontier, we created an interactive digital escape that allowed users to go beyond where the roads end, embarking on three Frontier-enabled adventures.

A simple interactive mechanism let people switch from thrill to chill and vice versa. The escape key, a finger tap, and Instagram ad units invited people to close their eyes and immerse themselves.

The one that started it all

Back in 1987, a new generation of adventurers were empowered to explore thanks to the introduction of SUVs. These vehicles enabled people to connect with nature and embark on new journeys. However, as the decades passed, the "Sport" and "Utility" aspects of SUVs were often forgotten.

With the launch of the All-New 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, we aimed to remind users that it is the perfect SUV for the relentless pursuit of life beyond the comfort zone. Through an interactive site experience, users could teleport between 2022 and 1987 to see how far the Pathfinder has evolved.

One drive changes everything

To celebrate the reinvention of their brand, Nissan wanted to elevate its Thrill Campaign and showcase the "new" Nissan on a grander stage: The Super Bowl.

Featuring the All-New 2023 Nissan Z and the All-New, All-Electric 2023 Nissan Ariya, Thrill Driver utilized an iconic cast to demonstrate how one ride in a Nissan can change everything.

Through an interactive site experience, users were immersed in the action, witnessing these cars blasting across the big screen in style.

No comparison

Choosing a new luxury SUV among dozens of options can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. Thankfully, with the introduction of the All-New 2024 Infiniti QX60, we created an interactive comparison website meant to showcase it alongside other leading SUVs.

Through a comprehensive experience, users can delve into the feature benefits of the QX60 and see how it stacks up against its competitors in key aspects such as performance, technology, safety, and design.

You can have it all

Building on the success of the redesigned 2022 Outlander, Mitsubishi aimed to expand its customer base with the All-New 2023 Outlander PHEV. This vehicle was intended to be their flagship model, marking the start of their transition to electric vehicles.

The "Go All Out" campaign generated excitement and awareness for Mitsubishi's new brand direction, and highlighted the benefits and convenience of a PHEV to consumers.

Inspired by drivers, for drivers

Mitsubishi USA has renewed its commitment to its drivers by strengthening their vehicle care and warranty initiative. They introduced the Mitsubishi Motors Confidence Integrated Care Program. Our task was to create a distinct wordmark and brand expression to promote this new program.

The Dynamic Slope is a brand element Mitsubishi already uses and customers already recognize. Borrowing inspiration from that to create a flexible branding system that represents racing lines/speed lines to highlight Mitsubishi’s long standing heritage.

Maybe you just need a Snickers

For sports fans and players alike, there are certain mistakes that provide such a clear and coachable moment, they’re almost never committed twice: ROOKIE MISTAKES.

We all make Rookie Mistakes when we are out-of-sorts, and sometimes we could use a little coaching to get back on our game, and Snickers is the solution.

 
 

The Spot

 

The goal was to build credibility with the NFL and rookie sports by creating a distinct and lasting association between SNICKERS, the NFL, and emerging athletes. By utilizing NFL and sports personalities as influencers, we positioned SNICKERS as the players' choice and a permissible snack.

Additionally, we recruited the next generation of SNICKERS fans to fill the purchase funnel with a new generation of chocolate buyers.
