A new advertising campaign scheduled to break in early September will invite (Nissan says compel) consumers to shift the way they view driving, the company’s products, and its brand.
“‘SHIFT_’ emotionally communicates the premise that ‘A shift can change a person, a life, the world, or it can simply change the way you move through it’,” the PR bumpf says.
“SHIFT_ is more than a tagline. As a marketing communication platform, it represents both an invitation to consumers and a challenge to Nissan employees to never be satisfied with the status quo. For Nissan, it means we are committed to ‘shift’ the possibilities of what people can expect from us.” said Steve Wilhite, vice president of marketing for Nissan.
Don’t think you’ll escape if you live outside North America, either. Just as Mazda’s ‘Zoom Zoom’ tagline has (successfully) migrated to Europe and other markets, Nissan sees similar potential.
