Brief Explanation

Lotus rarely advertises – so when they do, it’s about pushing the envelope of originality and uniqueness. The Lotus Exige-S is world-renowned for supreme handling and drive – something that the design had to bring to life on the paper.

The Brief

The aim of this campaign was twofold: to attract the attention of prospective Lotus buyers, and to create a point of conversation between Lotus salesmen and these prospects.

How the final design was conceived

What better way to showcase the Lotus Exige-S experience than with 3D posters? The typography works to mimic the twists and turns of the road, while ‘play’, ‘hug’ and ‘easy’ convey the sheer pleasure of driving a Lotus Exige-S.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

The posters were placed in Lotus showrooms across Malaysia. The campaign contributed to the Exige-S becoming Lotus’ best-selling vehicle of 2008. More than 60% of their 20-car quota was sold off, with 70% of walk-ins resulting in a sale.
