Dentsu Creative India announces new campaign ‘A Honda Goes Beyond’
Mumbai: Dentsu Creative India has launched a new campaign titled “A Honda Goes Beyond” for the leading premium car manufacturer, Honda Cars India. The campaign aims to connect with brand enthusiasts and a new generation of customers.
The campaign underlines the brand’s philosophy of ‘durability, quality, and reliability’ with the objective of developing a communication that celebrates the bond that the customers have with Honda. In addition to this, the film also highlights the brand’s offering of innovative and futuristic technology products, which make the driving experience not only safe but also exciting and superior.
Commenting on the campaign, Dentsu Creative India executive vice president Ujjwal Anand said, “Honda’s promise to its customers is to go the extra mile, to make sure that every Honda journey is a joy and delight for them; and this goes way beyond just the drive, the engineering, and the cars. It is a commitment to every side of the ownership experience. Honda aims to fulfil all expectations, delighting its customers at every touchpoint throughout their relationship, and therefore, “A Honda Goes Beyond.””
Dentsu Creative India group executive creative director Auryndom Bose added, “Honda has always stood for engineering that holds true to the experience of the product. Whilst the category codes of automobile advertising are loaded with mostly rational depictions, this new brand campaign for Honda is our way to transcend beyond the conventions and create an emotionally evocative communication that appeals to the heart and impacts the consideration for the brand.”
“The current campaign is a celebration of the bond that the customers share with Honda, and the company promises to go beyond in everything that they do. Honda’s journey in India has been nothing less than spectacular, and the credit goes to our customers who have bestowed their trust in Honda’s premium cars for the last 25 years. It has always been our endeavour to keep customers at the centre of our products and services,” commented Honda Cars India president & CEO Takuya Tsumura.
