Description
Polestar is the new electric performance car brand owned by Volvo Cars and Geely, determined to accelerate the change to electric mobility. In the spring of 2020, Polestar will launch its latest car: Polestar 2. As part of the international launch campaign “Goodbye Normal”, Polestar and international creative agency ACNE created the print “Goodbye combustion engine”. The long copy ad reads like an obituary for the internal combustion engine as if it were a person. The ad is a friendly dig towards the combustion engine that has been affecting the environment and polluting the air for over 160 years. With the campaign, Acne and Polestar wanted to move away from stereotypical car advertising. Instead, they’re doing away with conventions they see as harmful and outdated to help create a better industry, one free from stereotypes, combustion engines, regular car keys (Polestar 2 doesn’t have one), and so on.
This professional campaign titled 'Goodbye combustion engine' was published in Sweden in January, 2020. It was created for the brand: Polestar, by ad agency: Acne. This Print medium campaign is related to the Automotive industry and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted almost 5 years ago.
