Write a short summary of what happens in the radio advert.

How does a brand bring their complicated and complex intelligent driving technology to life through a radio spot? It's not an easy task, but that's exactly what Nissan did through some smart thinking and innovative executions. To do this, Nissan drew parallels between their intelligent forward collision warning feature, the ability for the vehicle to predict what’s in front of you and intervene when needed, and the ability of the radio spot to predict the next upcoming advertisement. If Nissan's predictive radio spot was followed by a spa ad, we told you it was coming up. If what was coming up was an as for money transfers, we let you know that, too.

Cultural/Context information for the jury.

Nissan is the leader in automotive technology. Through their Intelligent Mobility technology, they’ve successfully become the leaders in electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and vehicles with connected technology. However, most people are unaware of Nissan's leadership position in intelligent vehicle technology, and to make matters worse, getting people to understand these complicated and confusing innovations is a difficult communications task. Nissan needed to make people aware of and understand their intelligent mobility technology in a way that was clear, concise, and intriguing to increase test drives of the Nissan X-Trail.
