Hyundai Showcases Refined-Rugged SUV Experience in New Asian American Campaign for the All-New Santa Fe

Hyundai and its Asian American marketing agency, TEN Advertising, are launching a new creative campaign for the 2024 Santa Fe SUV. The campaign, comprising two ads titled “Ruggedness” and “Wide Open Space,” targets Asian American couples and families seeking exciting experiences in their everyday moments.

Showcasing its ruggedness with solid exterior style and HTRAC AWD and simultaneously presenting a comfortable, emotional, and sophisticated interior space, the campaign positions the new Hyundai Santa Fe as a refined-rugged SUV. The campaign launched on March 15.

The campaign highlights Asian Americans who pursue an exciting life by infusing a taste of the outdoors into their daily lives to express themselves.

At the same time, it addresses the demands of Asian American consumers who value premium and sophisticated spaces for their lifestyles.

While reflecting the characteristic traits of these Asian American consumers, the ads showcase Santa Fe’s solid and rugged exterior that distinguishes it from competitors and the Santa Fe XRT model that cranks off-road adventures up a notch.

The creative concepts for the “Ruggedness” and “Wide Open Space” campaigns result from an in-depth analysis of the completely redesigned Santa Fe and a comprehensive survey of Asian American consumers’ lifestyles and market insights.

The “Ruggedness” ad, starring the Santa Fe XRT model and an Asian American couple, displays them enjoying an unexpected off-road adventure as they detour on unpaved roads with Santa Fe XRT’s standard HTRAC AWD. Conversely, the “Wide Open Space” ad narrates how this great SUV provides a more spacious and sophisticated space for family outings and a peaceful sanctuary.

The “Ruggedness” and “Wide Open Space” campaigns will utilize video and digital assets across TV, digital, social media, and theatre channels to enhance the emotional impact of the creatives and highlight the vehicle’s exceptional performance and design.

Furthermore, TEN Advertising has organized an integrated campaign, including PR and experiential elements, to introduce and promote the 2024 Santa Fe to consumers and convey Hyundai‘s message that there is joy in every journey.
