Execution
Our client wanted to use a famous figure to support the Grand Vitara SZ, but he didnt have enough budget. We therefore did inside covers in all the music and celebrity magazines, and with identical standins of the real models of the cover, we tried to create the illusion of seeing the real model's backside, as they appeared on the cover, discovering they had a Grand Vitara SZ behind them.
The campaign was always scheduled in the back covers of the main magazines in the country, and it was a whole invasion.Musicians, models, actors, even the president's son, were part of our campaign without knowing. People discovered that: "Behind every great man there is a Grand Vitara".
