The Campaign

Cadillac V-Series needed to make a bold fashion statement in the region. We set out on a mission to find the three best dressed people in the region to pair with the brand’s cutting edge style. Three acclaimed fashion bloggers from across the region were chosen to take part in a first-of-a-kind fashion experiment. The idea was to find the few bold individuals that are always fashionably dressed, at any given time of any given day! In this film we see ANDMODE.com founder Ahmad Daabas “kidnapped” by our masked men for an impromptu photo-shoot inside the bold new Cadillac ATSV and in the desolate Maydan desert!

Creative Execution

The music is an original composition tailored specifically to meet the campaigns look, feel and general ambience, which is a surreal, cold, avant garde theme with industrial overtones It was composed by Franky B & The Cryptic Monkeys (Franky B / Peppe Cozzolino). Who was commissioned through abstract groove where post-production took place with the support and supervision of Joy films.
