Hyundai Elantra.

Super heist.

 

 

THE PROBLEM

To introduce the redesigned Elantra and its revolutionary new Superstructure, we needed to make a big impression in an exceptionally crowded automotive market.

 

THE THINKING

If the Superstructure was genuinely something new, it deserved more than a conventional product launch. We decided to make its introduction an event.

 

THE IDEA

We took the Superstructure to advertising’s biggest stage: the Super Bowl. And, in the process, ruined our German, Japanese and American competition’s Sunday party.

 

One week later, we took the story to Canada’s biggest automotive stage, the Canadian International AutoShow in Toronto, where the Superstructure was “stolen.”

 

The theft kicked off an unfolding narrative that extended across digital content, social platforms and multiple media channels.

 

THE RESULT

What began as a Super Bowl launch became an ongoing story, turning a new structural technology into something people could discover, follow and talk about long after the commercial ended.
