The luxury automaker’s general market spot, “Split World,” makes its debut through mirrored images, a la a kaleidoscope. Architecture, cyclists, trees and bridges create an eye-catching and intriguing world as the vehicle is revealed from different angles that merge together.
The second general market ad, “Infinite Glances,” uses a dynamic infinite zoom to emphasize the ES’ ability to captivate again and again. As the viewer travels through an urban, bustling city filled with streetlights, pedestrians, cabs and cars it becomes apparent that every car is the new ES.
Three additional spots geared toward African-American, Hispanic and LGBT audiences will also air at launch: “Make your Mark,” “Future Unfolded” and “Mark of Pride,” reports Portada.
In Sports, Lexus will sponsor the ESPN Saturday Afternoon College Football Halftime Show. The sponsorship includes activations across online, mobile and tablet platforms.
