BMW / Story of Luxury

Sometimes it just takes 3 words to mark a big break in a brands history. In 2018 we launched the whole new BMW-category of high-luxury cars under the roof of Bayerische Motoren Werke – the full name of BMW.

Under the roof of Bayerische Motoren Werke we summarised BMWs most valuable cars such as THE 8, THE 7 and THE X7 while also expanding the brands platform with the original content series Bold Voices.


THE 8 / City of no cars

Venice. The city of no cars. A luxury sports car driving in a city where driving is normally impossible.

The film tells the story of a young car enthusiast – who unfortunately grows up in Venice, the city of no cars. 20 years later, as a grown man, he lives out his dream by driving a dream car through the Venetian canals.



Take a look behind the scenes of the TVC production for the all-new BMW 8 Series Coupe. In this film, you get to see personal insights of the Venetians, working and living in the city crisscrossed by canals.

THE 7 / Above the clouds

With the new BMW 7 Series, driving pleasure and ride experience reach an unprecedented new level in the luxury segment.

To campaign its market launch, we created emotional storytelling that could place modern luxury as a bold attitude  – one that overcomes boundaries, expands the freedom of individual mobility, and discovers new horizons.

The TVC’s story follows a pilot making an unusual decision when a bad weather front prevents a private plane from taking off.

Bayerische Motoren Werke / Bold Voices

To launch BMW’s new luxury segment Bayerische Motoren Werke we partnered with a variety of creators from around the globe. We created the format Bold Voices, giving those creative pioneers a platform by portraying their distinct attitudes while taking a step back as a brand.

The second episode features legendary designer Stefan Sagmeister. He talks about internal honesty, gut feelings and the power of believing and highlights the importance of risk taking.


BMW × Rem Koolhaas

The third episode features iconic architect Rem Koolhaas who explores the creative potential of chaos in the world.
