Description of the Project:
Acura is different than other luxury car brands. They don’t engineer cars the same way. As a result, they receive a lot of negative comparisons to their European counterparts. Our challenge was to bring out the truth, the why behind Acura's differences. To change the conversation and show the world how Acura represents the new standard in luxury. So we sought out the emotional truth and discovered Acura wasn’t like the category of machine-obsessed. That they operated under a far greater truth: Everything starts with the human behind the wheel. They weren’t competing with mankind, they were inspired by it. This was their truth. This was their point of difference. This was the unique philosophy that would inspire a daring, emotionally resonant campaign like no other.
