Leverage the Super Bowl to highlight Hyundai brand values and engage viewers in real time with positive social response, keeping our fans, viewers and social audience excited and talking about Hyundai.
As the brand that believes in making things better, Hyundai used the largest live stage of the year—the Super Bowl—to make the game just a bit better for troops overseas. Our agency implemented in real time an interactive 360 viewing experience that virtually transported three soldiers to the stadium in Houston, where they were surprised by their families surrounding them. This spot was shot, edited and published to air at the very end of the game. The social team, while teasing the action throughout the game, were immediately flooded with positive responses and engagement on all of Hyundai's social channels. We knew that doing anything with the military and NFL could be risky, so we prepared for every possible response we could receive, and prepared for every scenario.
