Moments – Volvo EX90

Back to work

The EX90 is Volvo Cars’ flagship electric SUV, reflecting the brand’s purpose of protecting both people and the planet. Equipped with advanced sensors, active and passive safety features, and groundbreaking technology, it is designed to be the safest Volvo car ever made.

Our brief was to reach an audience beyond Volvo Cars’ traditional consideration set – building on the brand’s 100-year legacy of safety, human-centric design and innovation.

Volvo EX90 Moments campaign – cinematic, human-centred storytelling around safety technology.

The idea

We set out to create a commercial that wouldn’t feel like a commercial at all: an almost four-minute human story with no big logos and the hero product in a supporting role.

By focusing on the people – and the future they are about to build – we made Volvo EX90’s groundbreaking safety technology feel personal, showing that sometimes the moments that matter most are the ones that never happen.

The execution

Our film follows an expectant couple, about to become a family of three. Through a phone conversation between the father-to-be and his own mother, we move between the present day and an imagined future for their unborn child – brought to life through his words.

A future that could all be lost in a split second, were it not for the Volvo EX90 and its Safe Space Technology.
