CT 200h LAUNCH TV
In 2010, Lexus unveiled the CT 200h, the world's first full hybrid luxury compact car. We planned and created a through-the-line campaign around the concept of 'The Start of the Quiet Revolution' which highlights the car's incredible hybrid performance with a stunning dramatisation of silence, set in contrast to a spectacular global drum roll announcing the car. Localised versions of the campaign run in 9 markets across Europe. The most famous method of announcement launched the CT: drum roll. But, for this world first, instead of conventionally building to a crescendo, it is revealed to perfect silence. World-famous drummers featured include Mike Joyce from The Smiths and Pauli Stanley-McKenzie from Gorillaz Sound System.
