Acura is targeting Millennials with a social media campaign that focuses on the emotion of music and driving. The brand tapped eight up-and-coming artists to create original electronic songs for their newest entry-luxury car. Each track represents one of the eight gears of the new sporty ILX sedan, and as listeners move through the playlist, the music increases in velocity. For Millennials, luxury is no longer strictly defined by whistles and bells, and is shifting to center around authenticity and experience, so highlighting the emotional elements of their product could be a move in the right direction for the brand. The songs are posted on Acura’s Tumblr, where they have reportedly been downloaded seven million times so far. (Ad Age)
