This post was made possible thanks to my friends at Buick. Their press release was used to complement this article.
Buick announced an expanded collaboration with Hello Sunshine. The media company Oscar-winning actress and producer Reese Witherspoon founded with the mission of putting women at the center of every story it creates, celebrates, and discovers.
To kick off the collaboration, Buick debuted its new “Dream with Us” brand campaign. This campaign envisions what life could look like for future vehicle owners. Voiced by Witherspoon, the campaign features the Buick Wildcat EV concept to illustrate the potential vehicle experience of tomorrow.
Buick Announces New ‘Dream with Us’ Campaign with Hello Sunshine
As Witherspoon narrates the day of a future Buick driver, the driver of a conceptual Wildcat EV1 experiences her vehicle autonomously pick her up and change its exterior color based on her outfit. Once inside, the vehicle uses augmented reality to project a peaceful, woodland setting on the windshield as the vehicle drives itself. The Wildcat EV even automatically rolls up the windows when the parked vehicle detects inclement weather.
“We are very excited to continue our work with Hello Sunshine, a company that shares our vision of empowering and celebrating women,” said Molly Peck, vice president, Buick and GMC Marketing. “With the largest percentage share of female buyers in the auto industry, we know that more and more women are making vehicle-buying decisions and we’re thinking creatively about how to offer experiences tailored to them.”
Dream with Us
“’Dream with Us’ shows a number of conceptual features and technologies that we have not committed to for production. But help convey our vision for the future of Buick ownership,” said Peck. “This campaign signals Buick’s brand transformation, incorporating our new logo, new music, and a new brand voice. This all points back to Buick’s commitment to an all-electric future. Using intuitive technologies to create an enhanced sense of well-being.”
Buick’s expanded collaboration with Hello Sunshine will also include creative work with Witherspoon, brand collaboration opportunities. And the continuation of the Reese’s Book Club in-vehicle app2 in eligible Buick vehicles. The audio-based app seamlessly provides Buick drivers with access to a selection of audiobooks and podcasts chosen for Reese’s Book Club.
“We’re so thrilled to continue our relationship with Buick in this next iteration of our partnership,” said Zoe Fairbourn, head of brand partnerships, Hello Sunshine. “We’ve worked closely over the past year on exciting new collaborations, including the launch of the RBC app in Buick vehicles, which was a huge success. We can’t wait to create more moments that empower and celebrate women together through our work.”
The campaign debuts on TV and online on Aug.17.
