Honda Civic: One More Thing to Love About Today

Art Director · US

An optimism platform that put the Civic inside culture: inventors, creators, and #HondaInnovator conversations: instead of talking over it.

Problem

Younger buyers were tuning out auto advertising entirely. The updated Civic had to enter culture, not talk over it.

Solution

'One More Thing to Love About Today': an optimism platform highlighting inventors, creators, and pop-culture moments across TV, digital, social, and live #HondaInnovator conversations.

Results

The Civic entered culture as a participant: #HondaInnovator ran as live conversation with inventors and creators, not as a hashtag printed at the end of a spot.

01: Today is Pretty Great

Optimism as a product truth, not a tagline.

02: MSN takeover

The idea rebuilt as a full homepage environment.

03: Page takeover

The same optimism, carried into the ad environment.
