Cadillac’s Dare Greatly Campaign

Cadillac’s Dare Greatly Campaign took my breath away the moment I saw it, and as someone who spends many hundreds of hours analyzing advertising, I assure you that doesn’t happen often. This campaign is all about image. This luxury brand knows it’s a trendsetter, an incredibly difficult position to maintain, and they took a step forward with their Dare Greatly campaign by suggesting that success lies in the hands of those who take risks.

The Imagery:

The imagery is beautiful. Highly stylized images of sedans showing the cars as the most fashionable visitor to an already fashionable cityscape.The Message:

The Message:

Most of the people who can afford this level of luxury – investors, business owners, artists, innovators – have taken some amount of great risk to get to where they are, and this campaign suggests that the reward for such great risk is…a Cadillac.The Affect:

The Affect:

What is so great about this message is that many people won’t realize that risk is something that this particular class of people is proud of. They equate starting a business to diving with sharks or bungee jumping. This is a group of people who refuse to stay home on the weekends. And Cadillac is saying that only the bold drive Cadillac.
