Ad Nut
Aug 4, 2021

Conservationists set a Japanese beast free in Canada

AD NUT's PICK OF THE WEEK: It plays like a nature documentary, but it's a Subaru ad.

This is simply a great concept, well executed by Toronto's Zulu Alpha Kilo*.

The campaign includes national TV, digital, OOH, print, and social media. Subaru is also placing interactive "'Set it free' wilderness crates" in major cities across Canada. The crates roar and shake to startle and then delight passersby, and a 'ranger' is on hand to pass out info and lead people to a QR code that leads to online signup for a test drive. 

* An agency that Ad Nut has covered so much it's kind of embarrassing—for other agencies! Send Ad Nut great stuff as often as Zulu Alpha Kilo does, and you'll get covered a lot too.
