        Sparc’s “Enjoy the Drive” campaign uses simple, yet evocative imagery paired with clever
        copy to emotionally connect with the viewer and remind them of the joy of the open road.

        The copy is made small on purpose and is not found in the forefront because the images
        should be the first point of contact and the focus of the ads.The selected images immediately
        put the viewer on the road and reminds them of how pleasing it is to joyride. After imagining
        themselves on the actual road, the copy is the second point of contact and works alongside
        the image to further put the viewer in a joyful state of mind.




                                                                                                                    Copy:

Ambient
        This double layered ambient ad shows commuters how much more peaceful a
        ride in a Sparc car is than a crowded city train. The ad is made up of two separate
        sections. The first contains the side mirror image, copy, logo, and tagline, which are
        all stickers placed on the train window. The other section is a landscape mural
        placed on the subway tunnel wall and is lit up by ground lights. When the train
        passes though the tunnel it gives the riders the impression of taking a relaxing car
        ride.

        The copy reads “Enjoy your commute”and is paired with the tagline “Simply Joyride.”
