In an effort to rejuvenate the brand and appeal to a younger audience, Lexus introduced a new hybrid model. Designed to bring a fun driving experience to the hybrid category, the CT was their first model priced under $30k. To gain credibility with this group, we focused on the common values of challenging the status quo and shirking conventions. We pitched and won the entire launch campaign covering all advertising, digital, event and showroom POS. For the first time in Lexus history, one agency was given full integrated duties across all three target groups - General Market, African-American and Hispanic. Sales exceeded all forecasts and led to one of the most successful new model launches in Lexus history.

Unveiling A New Attitude

Lexus completely overhauled all their models based on an aggressive new grille design. The reveal was to happen at the industry’s biggest event - The Detroit Auto Show. The challenge was that we didn't have access to the cars and were given only a few stills of the new models to work with. 

Luxury Is An Experience

During my time as Executive Creative Director at Walton Isaacson, I was fortunate to have played a role in moving Lexus from the relentless pursuit of perfection to a desire for life-enriching experiences. It was a true partnership that allowed us to create some of their most exciting campaigns.
