Volvo Cars, the premium car maker, is challenging #People to rediscover their passion in life with the new #v90crosscountry campaign.
International research, undertaken by #Volvo Cars, shows that six out of ten #People globally want to spend more time pursuing outdoor activities – with hiking, running and cycling topping the most-popular list. Among those who feel unable to prioritise their hobbies, 68 per cent indicated that their work takes up too much time in their life. Responding to these insights, #Volvo Cars’ new #v90crosscountry campaign encourages #People to rediscover their passions and adventures that they once loved and prioritised.
“Most of us reach a point in life when we choose a career over being a ski bum or a surfer. For some #People this can mean losing their sense of adventure as they settle into a comfortable life. This campaign reminds us that now is the time to reconnect with the #People and passions we love so much and to live our lives to the fullest,” says #thomasandersson, Vice President Global Marketing, #Volvo Car Group.
Taking inspiration from the late British philosopher Alan Watts, the new campaign encourages #People to rediscover their forgotten passions, rethink their priorities in life and live more in the moment.
“Without clichéd images of rural terrain or off-road capabilities, the #v90crosscountry is presented as The Get Away Car; a perfect enabler that helps #People get away from their busy lives to reach that much-sought-after work-life balance,” says #thomasandersson.
The campaign film, shot in and around Vancouver, Canada, follows four business professionals reconnecting with their loved ones and the passions of their past, leaving the city behind in their #Volvo #v90crosscountry for surfing, fishing and nature photography trips.
The imagery is contrasted by the iconic 1959 “Live Fully Now” speech by philosopher Alan Watts, in which he discourages #People from living for future status, and instead encourages them to live in the moment and do more of what they love. The message is clear: “You Can’t Live at All, Unless You Can Live Fully, Now.”
