Hyundai Motor Company Australia has launched the i40 tourer with an integrated communications campaign created by agency, Innocean Australia.
The new campaign features the work of US artist Jim Denevan, renowned for his vast scale desert sculptures. The i40 was used by the artist to create an impressive design on the surface of a salt lake (Lake Rebecca) in remote central Western Australia. The grand design when viewed from the air is a metaphor for the impressive design and function of Hyundai’s newest addition to their range of cars.
Oliver Mann, Marketing Director, Hyundai, says “Last year’s i45 launch communicated Hyundai’s obsession with quality, and now with the i40 Tourer it’s time to spotlight the brand’s approach to design. The new ‘Make an Impression’ campaign showcases i40’s beautiful and functional design, and marks Hyundai’s emergence as a premium brand."
Scott Lambert, Creative Director, Innocean, says, "Being Hyundai's most impressive car to date, we knew that we needed a concept that was big, fresh and inspiring. Putting the i40 in the hands of Jim Denevan, and capturing the event with Noah Marshal's story telling skills, has delivered this in spades."
The campaign runs from 9th October 2011 across a range of media including television, online, point of sale and print. Sponsorship initiatives will include Sculptures By The Sea and Grand Designs Live.
