Embracing Everyday Adventures with the Santa Fe

In a world where the mundane often overshadows the joy of life’s adventures, Hyundai Motor America presents a refreshing perspective with its captivating campaign for the all-new Santa Fe SUV. This dynamic vehicle, boasting rugged capabilities and innovative technologies, is showcased in a cinematic journey that captures the essence of exploration and family bonding.

This SUV is designed for rugged adventures, equipped with smart innovations and convenient technologies. We’re excited to unveil our advertising campaign featuring a Viking family, which we believe will resonate with viewers during football’s championship weekend.”

A Visual Spectacle: “VIKINGS” Unveils the Santa Fe’s Rugged Charm

In a bid to effectively convey the Santa Fe’s boundless capabilities, Hyundai embarked on a creative journey with its “VIKINGS” campaign. This visually stunning narrative showcases the SUV’s rugged design amidst breathtaking natural landscapes and challenging terrains. The ad captivates viewers with its cinematic grandeur, highlighting the Santa Fe’s ability to navigate any adventure, both big and small. The iconic Heart track, “Barracuda,” serves as an epic soundtrack, perfectly complementing the ad’s dynamic visuals.

Unveiling the Santa Fe’s Technological Prowess

The 60-second ad, set to air during championship games, marks the first national advertising for the 2024 Santa Fe. Following its initial U.S. reveal at the LA Auto Show in November 2023, the Santa Fe’s campaign will continue with 60-, 30-, and 15-second spots throughout the year. These ads will grace various sporting events and will be visible across multiple broadcast, radio, social, and digital media platforms.

The 15-second ads will delve into the Santa Fe’s impressive features, including its HTRAC all-wheel drive, class-leading rear cargo space, dual wireless charging, panoramic display, third-row seating, tailgate, and towing capabilities. Hyundai will also introduce its Hybrid and XRT models in April, further expanding the Santa Fe’s appeal.

Creative Masterminds Behind the Campaign

The Santa Fe’s marketing campaign is a collaborative effort involving renowned creative talents. Oscar-nominated film and TV commercial directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon, renowned for their GEICO Cavemen commercials, helmed the production of the captivating “VIKINGS” ad. Up-and-coming director Nicolas Gordon, known for his Cannes-shortlisted work, directed the social campaign. The award-winning production company, Furlined, brought the creative vision to life.
