Unadventurers

Finalist in Branded Content

Entered in Branded Series

Objectives

The Un-Adventurers chronicles the story of three individuals who have never left their home state. Along with their nominator, our host Selema takes them on the road for the very first time. The first episode follows Porsha, a single mom from Douglasville, GA, who works for an airline cleaning planes, but has never traveled by plane herself. In episode one, viewers will see the journey from her hometown to Florida, where she travels over her first bridge, and dips her feet into the ocean for the first time. The second episode spotlights Jay, a devoted dad and aspiring stand-up comedian who builds up the nerve to not only get out of his state, but to perform comedy in front of a live audience. While the most recent episode follows Santiago, where his sense of adventure and dream of serving his community is re-ignited.

Strategy and Execution

Consistently build familiarity and consideration of the larger Hyundai brand through a compelling and inspiring original video series.

The goal is for Hyundai’s target to come to expect the brand in certain places, next to certain media brands and with certain people. After time, our hope is that the affinity our target has for these places/brands/people will begin to rub off on the Hyundai brand.

Join us for the Un-Adventurers: a series of aspirational road trips that celebrate the stories of real people taking journeys they’ve always dreamed of, with our host behind the wheel of a Hyundai as the hero that brings them there.
