Local relevance
FROM A GLOBAL LAUNCH TO A LOCAL LANDMARK.
Distinctive local creative, conceived and delivered at launch speed.
With a prototype Ford Explorer demonstrator provided at Bournemouth’s iconic Pier Approach, B Visual planned and executed a complete automotive photoshoot and localised brand activation within just 48 hours.
The fast-paced production created distinctive, location-led Ford Explorer imagery that connected the all-electric SUV with the Bournemouth community. By developing custom campaign artwork around a recognisable local landmark, we gave Foray Motor Group a powerful creative identity that stood apart from Ford’s national marketing campaigns while retaining the strength and consistency of the wider Ford brand.

NEXT-
GEN
Following the launch, B Visual initiated the “Next-Gen” sales event — a focused dealership marketing activation celebrating the next generation of Ford vehicles.
Featuring the new Ford Explorer and Ford Capri, the campaign showcased the electrification of Ford’s vehicle line-up while giving customers a compelling reason to visit their local Ford dealership, explore the latest models and discuss the transition to electric driving.
