Says Coby Duggan, general manager, Volvo NZ: “The Volvo brand and product has undergone a significant evolution in the last five years, and it’s important we reflect that in our marketing. We’re a challenger brand in the luxury category here, but we have a line up that’s outstanding, and it’s getting stronger with every new model launched. We’re chasing a fourth consecutive sales record in 2017 but for this growth to continue it’s imperative that we connect with Kiwis and elevate the Volvo brand perception amongst luxury car buyers in New Zealand.”

We wanted to show Volvo’s award-winning product in iconic local environments that better reflect our lifestyle. It’s been a fantastic project to work on; Paul truly went above and beyond to pull it all together. We also managed to capture additional footage for future campaign creation.”
