Darth Vader Invites Nissan Drivers to the Dark Side

The Force is strong with this campaign - TBWA\Hakuhodo has channelled its dark side to create a Star Wars-inspired project for the Nissan Juke. They’re allowing mere mortals to experience the power of the Sith with a digital ‘Force Simulator’ that lets users control movements without a keyboard or mouse.

The campaign has been created to celebrate the launch of the latest Nissan Juke, which features a brand new opalescent colour called ‘Midnight Purple’. Unlike the traditional colours, this Midnight Purple changes shade depending on the angle and lighting. The team at TBWA\Hakuhodo were keen to help consumers experience this new colour in a completely new way. By adopting the role of Darth Vader, the can move the car using the power of the force and watch as the colour changes.
