(MAHWAH, N.J.) – May 13, 2013 – Today, Jaguar announced the details of the global advertising and marketing campaign 'Your Turn' to support the launch of its definitive sports car – the all-new F-TYPE. As Jaguar's first new true sports car model in 50 years, the 2014 F-TYPE represents a return to the company's heartland: a two-seater, convertible sports car focused on performance, agility and driver connection.
'We have built on Jaguar's sports car heritage which stretches over 75 years, and in the F-TYPE we have reignited the flame,' said Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director of Jaguar. 'The Jaguar F-TYPE sports car – not designed to be like anyone else's sports car – is ultra-precise, powerful, sensual and most of all it feels alive. The campaign perfectly embodies all Jaguar's values.'
The multi-channel global campaign will include integrated activity across TV, cinema, print, digital, mobile and tablet, as well as experiential and social media. Spark44, the lead strategic communications partner for Jaguar, was responsible for the creative positioning and strategy, experience architecture, website design, and all creative executions. Media planning and buying is managed by Mindshare.
The U.S. execution of the global campaign, will focus heavily on TV and digital with some integrated print executions, and leverage personalities that will appeal to a more youth-minded audience.
'The integrated campaign strives to engage customers with an emphasis on the F-TYPE vehicle's performance, sound, look and feel,' said Joe Torpey, Communications Manager, Jaguar North America. 'The media plan speaks to the cars' personality via partners like ESPN and Playboy for example, and has live elements with integration of the vehicle in motion. This is the most exciting, and important marketing launch for Jaguar in many years driving us to create a highly engaging approach to market and bringing consumers into the experience.'
