Force 5

Happy Holiday’s from all of us at Force 5. Our office will be closed this week to spend time with our family and friends. We will be back, all refreshed on December 30th to help with all your marketing needs.

We were thrilled to once again work with the Studebaker National Museum to help promote their exciting Racecars and Record Holders exhibition. It’s always a great day at the office when you get to step back in time and see what put South Bend on the map. Stop by and experience their amazing collection of cars and carriages, including one of Marquis de Lafayette’s farewell tour carriages. #VideoProduction #DigitalAdvertising #SouthBend

Jaguar's recent rebranding campaign has ignited significant discussion within the marketing community. The promotional video emphasizes diversity and modernism without featuring any vehicles and has drawn praise and criticism. Some view it as a bold departure from traditional automotive advertising, while others label it as excessively "woke" and disconnected from Jaguar's heritage. (https://lnkd.in/ej7Bi7VC) Jaguar's managing director, Rawdon Glover, has defended the campaign. He expressed disappointment over the "vile hatred and intolerance" directed at the advertisement and its models. He emphasized that the intent was to differentiate Jaguar from other automakers and re-establish its brand at a higher market level. As a brand development and marketing agency, Force 5 would like to hear your thoughts on this approach. Is Jaguar's rebranding a visionary move that sets them apart, or does it deviate too far from their established identity? Their new approach is definitely tailored to a younger audience. Jaguar seems to have ripped off the bandage and moved too quickly to win that new demographic. Share your perspectives below!
