Discovering the art of leadership

Challenge

During a year when BMW were not launching any new cars, it wanted to keep its brand top of mind with its HNWI consumers and align its values with the theme of leadership. Create worked closely with BMW to produce inspiring content across platforms showcasing its different car models and aligning itself to leadership through an artistic lens.

Solution

Create designed a multi-platform campaign that was targeted to CNN’s Luxury audience and HNWIs across digital, film, social, TV and TAP. All content focused on ‘The Art of Leadership’, with storytelling from an artistic perspective of several design leaders including Jeff Koons and Zhoujie Zhang. BMW has aligned itself with with the values of artistic leadership which was echoed through the films.
