The innovative campaign tells the story of how Hyundai Motor sent a message from a 13-year-old girl to her astronaut father. In the video, 11 Genesis cars write a huge message, covering about 5.55 km2, on the Delamar Dry Lake, Nevada in the U.S. – an image the girl’s father was able to capture from the International Space Station.
Hyundai Motor previously won the One Show award with the Elantra Driveway Decision Maker event in the Interactive category on 2014 and Dad’s Sixth Sense in the TV Ad category on 2015.
