Brief:

Our mission was simple: to get all eyes on Toyota's 2023 GR Series launch, and build a brand platform that can create a noise without the buzz.

Solution:

Over 48% of Malaysians love Anime. We combined art and live action together to create a bite-sized blockbuster film and give the brand a unique identity. Presenting 'Awaken the Beasts', an entertainment series that shows how our inner beast awakens when we get behind the wheel of a GR car. To add more drama, anime beasts and a MacGuffin trope form the crux of storytelling for the big screen. There was no big reveal and no clichéd plot twists. The film from start to finish is an action-packed, high-adrenaline chase sequence where a mysterious suitcase is taken from one point A to B by our protagonist. The brand presence grew 21,000 times when indexed to previous years. It became one of the most talked about campaigns for Toyota. TikTok was abuzz with 130 million views till date, establishing 'Toyota GR' as part of modern pop culture. We stopped over 20 million thumbs and turned an equal amount of heads. Most of them requested for another episode.
