Toyota has launched a new global campaign titled
'Mobility for All' via Saatchi & Saatchi LA ~ which is creatively
led by Aussie expat chief creative officer Jason Schragger ~ and Dentsu
Tokyo.
The spot, directed by Aussie expat director John Hillcoat,
spotlights 100 people in every stage of life, from a toddler to a
Paralympic fencer to an elderly woman getting assistance from a Toyota
"human support robot". It is part of a broader campaign called "Start
Your Impossible" that launched in 21 countries, marking the start of
Toyota's new global sponsorship of the Olympics ad Paralympic Games.
VIEW THE SPOT
Toyota agencies Saatchi & Saatchi and Dentsu Tokyo teamed up to
create what Toyota says is its first global campaign. It will eventually
run in 40 countries.
The debut ad features 16 Olympic and
Paralympic athletes. It was produced in five countries (Canada, Czech
Republic, Japan, South Africa and Thailand) and took about 736 hours to
film and edit. The campaign will include nine more ads that will
include a range of Toyota mobility products. This first ad includes
products such as a concept car meant for autonomous driving, and
electric-powered "personal mobility vehicle" called "I-ROAD", and a
wearable robotic leg brace designed to help disabled people walk.
