VOLVO SOLO MODE

SHORTLISTED - CANNES FUTURE LIONS 2023

STUDENT SILVER ADDY AWARD 2024 (AAF MIAMI)

Since its founding, Volvo has been a brand that has put people first. They have made it their mission to make life safer, easier and better for everyone.

How can we pioneer the use of technology to protect people and make them feel safe?

About project

Volvo has always put people first, with a mission to make life safer, easier and better. Our response focused on what that promise means for women. Working from a brief that asked how technology could protect people and help them feel safe, we developed a concept to make Volvo safer for women, putting their experiences and needs at the centre of the idea. Created in one week for a college art direction class, the project was developed for submission to Cannes Future Lions.
