Rolls-Royce Spectre Global

Spectre is the first of its kind. The dawn of a new era.

As the the world’s first ultra-luxury Electric Super Coupe, Spectre is Rolls-Royce’s first all-electric car. The herald of a new all electric future for the marque.

To capture Spectre’s otherworldly essence and reflect its bold new sculptural design language, we created a bespoke futuristic world in UnrealEngine and shot Spectre on a virtual production stage.

Volkswagen GTI China

 

Once in while, you have to show the world who's boss. Wait. Make that the universe.

After years of being the unchallenged urban sports car, it was time for VW to once again shut down unruly competitors, invigorate the brand and remind fans that there's only one true GTI.

Putting the Golf GTI's superior driving dynamics front and center, we pitted it against its only real competition - extraterrestrials. In a death race, furiously high paced and demanding, only one would emerge victorious and undisputed champion of the universe.

With over 1.5M views in the first week alone, a ten fold increase of unique pages views and an actual in-showroom sale of 220 units, our spot catapulted the Golf GTI back to the top of it’s segment.

DIGITAL LAUNCH BMW M3 & M4 / 'CARBON'

BMW proves once again that no all cars are created equal.

The visionary lightweight carbon construction of the new M3 and brand-new M4 take centre stage in this CGI origin story.

Together with Glassworks Amsterdam and Liga01 we took viewers on a macro-level journey through the genesis of BMW M’s ultimate performance - the creation of carbon fiber.

Our fully responsive and interactive website further supported our ‘ultimate performance through lightweight engineering’ concept through unique UI/UX technologies, dynamic 3D and interactive video components.

Our digital platforms were competable with all predominant web and mobile systems.

INTERACTIVE WEBSITE BMW XDRIVE / 'THE WORSE THE BETTER'

 

Whoever said ‘There’s no bad weather, only bad gear’ must have driven a BMW. A BMW with X Drive to be exact. 

China’s most dreaded climate zones gave way to our X Drive features. Interactive games put superior levels of traction and intuitive changes in power distribution to the test and made it clear that with X Drive, weather doesn't matter. 

Our digital experience featuring a current weather map of China was accessible from all digital devices.

POS CAMPAIGN GORE-TEX®x iBEACON / 'INSIDE IS ALL IT TAKES'

 

Ignorance isn't always bliss. Especially, if your product is competing in a market that's throwing out ¥2 billion a year in revenue.

To most of the world GORE-TEX® is known as the superior outdoor fabric brand, to Chinese customers - not so much.

That having GORE-TEX® fabric inside your outdoor garment is all it takes to get you places - extreme places - therefore wasn’t clear either.

To get Chinese customers on board, we created a POS campaign that visual spelled it out for them.

Further along the road, we would engage customers with iBeacon proximity based technology and drive them to our stores by handing out digital vouchers, but also feed entertaining and educational brand content onto their mobile phones. Supported by OOH, window design and in store displays.

NIKE BASKETBALL EVENT "BATTLE OF THE 9 GATES"

 

The impossible happened. Nike Basketball China was loosing market shares to competitors such as Li-Ning and Erke.

To engage and regain relevance with young local ballers, we helped Nike do what Nike does best - challenge and empower athletes to be at their best game. Only this time, we did it the Chinese way.

In ancient times, 9 gates surrounded the Imperial city, all in fierce competition for Imperial favor. Reviving this ancient feud, we called upon all urban warriors to stand for their gates and compete in a modern day battle for glory and respect - an all deciding 3 on 3 Basketball tournament. 

6.000 urban ballers competed for the final showdown. 6 made it to the heart of ancient Imperial Beijing - the Forbidden City.
