They needed a something that would not only capture the heart and soul of riders in the category, but also anyone set to be on two wheels..
Strip Away Everything. Give them Everything.
Strip Away Everything.
Give them Everything.
Partnering with the Kawasaki team in Europe, we needed to create something disruptive, we needed to get the root of why this bike exists, we dove deep into its engineering, its design philosophy and its intangibles to unearth its "why". At its core, it was the embodiment of two opposing forces forged into one hell of a machine. We needed to create a full campaign that other manufactures dared not go. Every touch-point needed to be a punch in the face of the expected.

Summary:
Our solution, was to strip away everything and own its two primal points.
