Strategic insight
Consumers needed to see how electric vehicles could fit their lives. Their doubts gave us a familiar, entertaining starting point for the conversation.
We developed Haters Anthem to turn skepticism into curiosity, bringing common objections to life through custom puppets before revealing the human believers behind them. Humor, music, and product innovation worked together to move audiences from hesitation toward confidence.
