US: Acura’s new multiverse-inspired brand campaign - Has it driven ad awareness for the auto brand?

Lesley Simeon - January 27th, 2023

Acura's latest brand campaign, “New World. Same Energy,” highlights the carmaker’s 2023 lineup. Launched on 13 January 2023, the campaign’s 60-second spot features six models from the Honda-owned company, zipping through a ‘multiverse’ of different realities - future-verse, Joneses-verse, lunar-verse, anime-verse, racer-verse and finally, EV-verse.

The ad underlines the company’s aim of moving towards an all-electric future. In addition to playing across digital and social channels through March, the campaign will also air at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.

Are Americans sitting up and taking note of the latest Acura creative?
