Overview

Background

Climate change is unstoppable.

Hyundai is globally committed to carbon neutrality, a theme we've integrated deeply into this campaign. By examining the intersection of technology and safety in the automotive industry, we underscore that no amount of vehicle safety can guard against the catastrophic effects of climate change.

This campaign reflects critically on the automotive industry and underscores a significant shift in Hyundai's narrative. Achieving carbon neutrality is essential—not just an option—for the safety of our planet. It serves as a call to action for industry leaders and individuals alike, emphasizing that in an era of technological leaps, true progress must incorporate sustainable practices to protect our environment.

Execution

All the photography used in this campaign comes from real-life photographs sourced from news reports and environmental journals. More than 25,000 images were searched and evaluated to create the campaign. The chosen style is purely documentary and reportage. 
Our approach was grounded in authenticity: real facts, real pictures with no staged content.

Outcome

The campaign achieved 15,000 impressions in its first week, surging to over 300,000 by the end of the second week. It garnered more than 500K engagements, with people responding positively to Hyundai's bold communication of its carbon-neutral journey.
