Brief
Aston Martin tasked Prism with developing the DBX 707 campaign plan, covering tease, launch, post-launch, retail-launch and sustain phases. This included the development of the assets as well as the creative strategy and creative direction behind the campaign.
Approach
CAMPAIGN: A NEW SEAT OF POWER: Driving DBX 707 is an extremely sensorial and exhilarating experience. The car’s power, luxury and overall intensity build towards the creative direction of A NEW SEAT OF POWER.
The creative treatments behind the campaign aim to immerse our audience in this world, and show what it would feel like to drive the most powerful luxury SUV in the word.
ART DIRECTION:
MAGNETISM – SENSORIAL TREATMENTS: Aston Martin means a unique magnetism that goes deeper…right into your soul. For this campaign we used multiple treatments created a visual representation of DBX707 magnetic pull and power, immersing our audience into its world. (e.g. lighting, camera movement, texture, visual effect, etc.)
COLOUR PALETTE: DBX 707’s Santorini blue colour, is complemented by deep green hues as a reflection of the Aston Martin brand. As they’re complementary hues of the colour wheel, the contrast is visually balanced, as well as harmonious.
SOUND DESIGN & MUSIC: The music and sound design were a bespoke composition for this campaign. The overall pace and menacing tone, symbolise the car’s power and dominance within the category. An aggressive, yet sophisticated composition, where the engine sound was highlighted as the sonic crown jewel.
Prism pulled together the tone and messaging as part of the creative direction for DBX707 based on the product identity, supplied by Aston Martin. This then drove the strategy and content that was created for the campaign. The main campaign was built around ‘A new seat of power’ which was showcased in the hero film.
