Honda HR-V Launch

Art Director · US

A multi-platform launch for people with layered lives, not single labels.

Problem

Introduce a new compact SUV to a younger, digitally savvy audience without the category clichés: HR-V had to feel human and expressive, not just practical.

Solution

An integrated launch that celebrated contradiction: work and passion, logic and creativity: with morphing cars and social-first executions across TV, digital, and interactive.

Results

A new nameplate given its own character inside a crowded Honda lineup: TV, digital and interactive all built off one contradiction instead of one feature list.

01: Launch TVC

Contradiction, celebrated.

02: Digital experience

The launch site: configurator, colour selector, morphing cars.
