Thrill Driver

PROJECT DETAILS

Nissan Thrills have the power to transform you.

That’s the insight that led to Thrill Driver — a Nissan Super Bowl LVI spot mascarading as the year’s newest star-studded, action-packed thriller.






Teaser trailers for “Thrill Driver” dropped in the weeks leading up to the big game. Branding was intentionally subtle, letting the internet question if this was, in fact, a real movie.

Real movie or not, the internet knew for certain that
Eugene Levy is a certified #ThirstTrap.










GIPHY!








Key art was seeded throughout the LA market to feed into the action movie bait & switch.








A full social ecosystem including bloopers and BTS was teased out in the weeks leading up to the premiere of the :60 spot.








We even created an A/R filter that used machine learning to recognize any car — and then turn it into a Nissan.
