The mission:
To launch the vape brand Vuse at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. How? By becoming the hottest and most disruptive event at F1.
The meaning:
Marry the world of race with the Vuse DNA of empowering creativity, through a supercharged mix of historic collaborations on the livery design of the collab combined with local art galleries, housed in our party yacht, connecting local creators with global F1.
The moment:
An actual F1 take-over where visitors became part of 'the creative state' a movement that left attendees wanting more creativity while those that missed the boat learned the true definition of FOMO.
Not just once:
Because of the impact of year 1, we repeated and expanded the activation over the years, becoming a staple in the F1 nightlife scene, including an annual takeover of nightlife hotspot Iris, a glittering series of car livery-reveals, and of course the fully fitted yacht experience for guests, with local art, graffiti, music, activations, installations, fashion and other activations coming together with flavor, product trial, and world-class talent.
Results + impact:
Abu Dhabi F1 was never quite the same after the invasion of the Creative State, launching the Vuse brand to the world. Some stats from year 1 of the iconic activation series alone:
