CNN International Commercial (CNNIC) and Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) are partnering on a cross-platform campaign that explores how innovation will change the way we will live in the future.
In this exclusive global partnership, CNN will deliver a creative mix of advertising, branded content, and sponsorship solutions to bring to life Hyundai’s vision on human-centered mobility through stories that will engage and inspire CNN global audiences.
CNNIC will power this campaign with the latest data technology and targeting tools to reach Hyundai’s core audiences including electric car owners and young families with children.
The campaign’s branded content component includes three films produced by CNNIC’s global brand studio Create that will convey Hyundai’s messages around the new paradigm of electric. With a cinematic documentary approach, the films discover new possibilities in life and follow individuals’ journeys with curiosity and exploration in mind.
The partnership also includes Hyundai’s exclusive sponsorship of two editorial initiatives ‘Saved by The Future’ and ‘Time Transformed’.
Launching across CNN International TV, digital and social platforms, the series explores transport and mobility innovations set to transform our cities, economies, and societies in the next ten years. ‘Saved by The Future’ is hosted by TV presenter Nicki Shields and airs from October to December.
‘Time Transformed’ is a special series where CNN meets thought leaders of renewable energy, green mobility, intelligent design, business, and urban planning.
