Campaigns – Brazil
(01/26/24). Set to the sound of Guns n' Roses, the film takes on the concept of nostalgia to deliver an inspiring new motorcycle. The “My time” campaign, developed by Publicis Brasil, marks the official launch of one of the most anticipated models in the world of motorcycles: the Sahara 300, which carries in its name the legacy of one of the most iconic motorcycles of the 1990s, the NX 350 Sahara.
The main film revolves around generational contrast, depicting a father and son who, despite being born in different times, have one thing in common when it comes to having fun: the desert. In addition, the whole story is wrapped in an iconic soundtrack from the 90s that, like Desert, is still a huge hit today: Paradise City, by the group Guns n' Roses.
The campaign brings back the iconic aspects of the 90s, from the lifestyle, the clothes, the objects and even the desert itself, which was an era among motorcycle enthusiasts and which is now returning, completely redesigned.
The new version of the motorcycle combines the versatility of last year's legendary model with the latest technology, with a 300cc engine, new design, six-speed gearbox, original accessories from the brand, USB-C port and many other features.
“The communication strategy began at the end of last year with a teaser that achieved great success on social media, and sparked curiosity and good memories among motorcycle lovers. Now with the launch of the campaign film, we continue the concept of nostalgia and recovery from “Happiest Times” to show that the new Sahara 300 lives up to the heritage of this The motorcycle carries the same values as the previous model, such as performance, versatility and resistance, but with a lot of cutting-edge technology,” says Renato Carrera Cruz, Marketing Director of Honda Moto.
adds Fabio Astolfo, Executive Creative Director of Publicis. “Communication reclaims elements, moments and languages that take us back to the 1990s and juxtaposes them with current experiences. It is the desert that literally transports us and connects one generation to the next.”
The campaign is one of Honda Motorcycles' key communication projects planned this year and will be developed on TV, digital, social, point of sale and other channels.
