Toyota Motor North America and Saatchi & Saatchi unveiled this “A New Story Begins” campaign for the automaker’s new vehicle: the first-ever Toyota C-HR.
The campaign inserts the Toyota C-HR into classic and traditional stories of mischief-makers, updated for the modern age. “We wanted to create a modern version of mischievous childhood fairy tales but with a twist and a fresh perspective to show that these stories are part of our present modern folklore. These stories are actually the stories we tell ourselves. The Toyota C-HR is the focal point of all of these, reminding you to see the world differently and to become heroic mischief makers for the modern age,” said Renato Braga, Saatchi & Saatchi’s creative director.
The debut spot in the campaign is this one directed by Noam Murro of Biscuit Filmworks which reimagines a modern version of the Cinderella fairytale. “Cinderella,” which screened recently in cinema theaters, reimagines a modern version of the Cinderella fairytale. Played to a backdrop of urban city lights, Cindy is stuck working late while her co-workers go to a fashion show. Like the rebellious Toyota C-HR, she takes charge and breaks the rules of conformity and escapes in her present day Toyota C-HR carriage.

“The Contextualist,” the latest chapter in Bloomberg Media’s “Context Changes Everything” brand platform, debuts today (3/6), creatively distinguishing Bloomberg.com & the Bloomberg app subscription’s value for global business and government leaders. The new concept builds on the campaign’s foundation of context--the power of Bloomberg’s journalism to draw deft connections between its wealth of news, insights and data in every corner of the world.
Golden Globe and BAFTA-award winning filmmaker Brady Corbet (The Brutalist) directed three new spots for the campaign via magna studios in his debut helming brand commercials. This spot titled “The Price of Tea in China” takes a well-known and seemingly simple idiom and unpacks its complexity as an international business story in a 30-second journey. (The other two commercials are “Bird in the Hand” and “Rising Tides.” The “Context” campaign continues to be developed in collaboration agency Wieden+Kennedy New York.
“‘Context Changes Everything’ has become an important rallying point with consumers to remind them what’s unique about Bloomberg as we continue to double down on global news coverage for them,” said Julia Beizer, COO, Bloomberg Media. “‘The Contextualist’ moves the brand forward by personifying the prevailing ideas of intellect, curiosity and ambition. We’ve gained more than 100,000 subscribers in the time since we first launched the campaign in September 2023, and it remains an important driving element of our investment to continue growing and engaging subscribers in the years to come.”
