Qashqai has been the crossover leader in Europe since it was introduced. However, this leadership is constantly under fire. In 2019, Nissan introduced its autonomous drive technology to the Qashqai - ProPILOT.

Some things seem impossible until you experience them happening.

Before July 20, 1969, no one believed it was possible to put a step on the moon and people didn't believe their eyes, even in front of the TV watching those two human-shaped figures jumping on our satellite soil. Then, after a while, people realised it was real, the impossible was made possible. Like being in a car almost driving itself, it is impossible to believe until you experience it. Driving will never be the same

Objective: Generate interest and leverage noise around the Moon Landing creating a link between Qashqai and technological advancement through long-form video content

Qashqai has been the crossover leader in Europe since it was introduced. However, this leadership is constantly under fire. In 2019, Nissan introduced its autonomous drive technology to the Qashqai - ProPILOT.

The film itself features a skateboarding astronaut in a zero-G environment to illustrate the feeling of driving a Nissan Qashqai equipped with Nissan’s ProPILOT technology (semi-autonomous driving tech).

To enhance the sci-fi feeling, we compiled over 20,000 sounds From the last 50 years of Space exploration - Planets, Stars, Black Holes, Comets, Take-offs, Probes, Hubble, Jupiter, Pulsars, ISS, Apollo, Rockets, Sun... and Galaxies. We converted radio emissions, magnetic fields, plasma waves into sounds. In doing this, we made the first-ever soundtrack using real sounds from Space.

The score of the soundtrack is Johann Strauss II Blue Danube -a homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Maximise the impact of the Qashqai Zero Gravity video creative by being there when it matters - The Moon Landing anniversary. Seize the opportunity and ensure Qashqai becomes part of the conversation

The film itself features a skateboarding astronaut in a zero-G environment, accompanied by a voiceover that recollects what millions saw that summer night of 1969. At the same time, it also illustrates the feeling of driving a Nissan Qashqai equipped with Nissan’s ProPILOT technology (semi-autonomous driving tech). The spot concludes with a simple line: “Technology is beautiful when it moves us“

We put the film live across social and TV in the UK in the days immediately before and after the anniversary to maximise the cultural impact.

Paid and organic social were used to speak to our audience. IN the UK this was further activated in cinema, on TV and print media
