Glass ceiling
Creative idea
We based our concept on the shift in the traditionally modest Finnish mindset: we encouraged people to take pride in their achievements and feel justified in rewarding themselves after hard work. Porsche was positioned as a symbol of self-worth, inclusive of all genders and backgrounds. We honored Porsche’s brand heritage through minimalist, copy-driven ads that paired visuals with headlines reflecting the confident cleverness and individuality of our target audience. This approach introduced Porsche to a new demographic. By creating bold claims that avoided masculine arrogance, we earned a place in their consideration set — transforming Porsche from exclusivity into a luxury brand that felt accessible and relevant to them.
