2022 Subaru BRZ - Mock Campaign
My brilliant colleagues and I pitched to Subaru of America for a national launch of their newest sports car. Our campaign consisted of illustrated ads with neon colors and an 80's feel. The goal of this campaign was to target a younger audience. Ironically, using nostalgia from the '80s was an effective way of doing so.
Through research and hard work, we positioned this campaign to be vibrant and upbeat. Each visual has an element of movement, and the exciting copy written in the ads further conveys how the 2022 Subaru BRZ will rock your world.
Positioning Statement
With its superior stopping power and handling, the BRZ is Subaru’s newest addition to the family. This rear-wheel-drive sports coupe will have drivers commuting to work, and going on road trips like never before. Its sleek design and masterful functionality are part of what set this iconic car apart from the rest. The BRZ is a perfect match for adventurers that want to bring spontaneity into their lives, without having to compromise their safety.
