Creative Execution

Position it as the conqueror of all terrains of life. Our integrated campaign proved that the Patrol was just like its driver – a multi-faceted achiever. Messaging was tailored for every medium, and we targeted female drivers through unconventional activations.

The Patrol is known to be the ultimate rugged terrain vehicle. In 2010, it was was luxuriously redesigned to appeal to a wider market. The challenge? Make its off-road image less overpowering and more for everyday life.
