Land Rover: Thank you Defender for 68 Years
Challenge
In the fall of 2015 , Oryx partnered with Land Rover to remind the world why a robust and iconic heritage allows the British automotive giant to continue to go beyond. With a history rich in innovation, Land Rover continues to wow the automotive industry and its fans with a unique marriage of capability and composure. Manufacturing vehicles that to this day remain true to their roots—a silhouette of a car sketched in the sand of a Welsh beach— Land Rover’s are still known as tough, intrepid and sophisticated, continuing to capture hearts around the world. Our work was focused on bringing this impressive history to life by celebrating the end of an iconic model.
