Toyota launches new GR86 sports car via Saatchi & Saatchi and Publicis
Toyota Australia has introduced the new GR86 sports car in an integrated campaign via Saatchi & Saatchi Australia and Publicis Communications Australia.
The spot features Harry Bates, Australian Rally Champion and Linh Dang, drift specialist, to showcase the performance of the range.
The campaign is set to roll out across key channels including broadcast, digital and in-store.
Toyota Australia chief marketing officer Vin Naidoo said: “Since the Toyota 86 launched in 2012, it’s held a special place in the hearts of performance car enthusiasts, not only in Australia but across the globe.
“We can’t wait for owners to experience the thrill and excitement of the GR86.”
Simon Bagnasco, head of creativity, Saatchi & Saatchi Australia, added: “We knew the GR86 was going to be a great vehicle. We didn’t realise how great until we saw Harry Bates behind the wheel.”
