Top Spot of the Week: Dacia, Publicis Conseil, Director Rune Milton Create World of Sand To Celebrate Dakar Rally
Carmaker Dacia, owned by Renault, is taking part in the legendary Dakar Rally, a grueling long distance race where drivers take on the Saudi Arabian desert.
To mark Dacia’s first-ever participation in the Dakar Rally, Publicis Conseil created this film which presents a world of sand that is as spectacular as it is challenging for drivers and their vehicles. Rune Milton directed this visceral, hyper-realistic piece via production house Wanda.
