Innovation and craftsmanship spotlighted in fanciful new Lexus ads
Lexus 2014 Holiday Campaign
TORRANCE, Calif. – Lexus today launches its annual “December to Remember” Sales Event with a new integrated marketing campaign that offers a fun spin on gift giving and holiday cheer. Anchored by three general market commercials, the campaign reveals some of Santa’s inventive gift-giving secrets and illustrates that with Lexus you’re never too old for toys.
“The holidays are a time of year when people indulge their imaginations and share stories filled with magic and wonder,” said Brian Smith, Lexus vice president of marketing. “This year’s holiday campaign celebrates the tradition of storytelling and reminds us that children aren’t the only ones who get to have fun this time of year.”
The first spot, “Christmas Train,” shows an iconic holiday train maneuvering along a snowy mountain track. The train grinds to a halt in front of a neighborhood home. Holiday elves jump out to help unload a Lexus IS F SPORT sedan, donning the brand’s iconic big red bow, into a family’s driveway. The spot flashes to the next morning, as the mom finishes telling her wide-eyed kids the story of how the vehicle arrived.
In “Magic Box,” Santa places a small wrapped box on another neighborhood driveway. The box opens up and magically transforms, gear by gear, into a full-sized Lexus ES sedan. The spot cuts to the dad explaining to his surprised wife and kids how Santa delivered this feat of engineering.
The final spot, “Teleporter,” shows a Lexus RX luxury crossover driving through a winter wonderland. Two elves greet the vehicle at an ice-covered teleportation machine; they pull a lever and the car is zapped to a third family’s driveway. The spot cuts to a dad telling his kids how Santa delivers the “big stuff.” All three spots end with a voiceover that states, “The magic of the season is here, at the Lexus December to Remember Sales Event.”
The broadcast spots begin airing today on network and cable television, sports channels and more. Additionally, one of the spots, “Christmas Train,” will be translated for the Hispanic and Asian-American markets, providing further reach. The print campaign adopts a similarly playful tone with a headline that reads, “Perfect Garage Stuffers.” A digital partnership with The Weather Channel will provide targeted December Sales Event ads in real time based on local weather conditions.
Additional digital campaign executions will run on key automotive websites, and out-of-home extensions include placements in DC Gallery and Times Square.
The December Sales Event offers incentives through Jan. 5, 2015. To view the spots, visit YouTube.com/Lexus.
