INEOS AUTOMOTIVE’S FIRST GLOBAL BRAND ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN: BUILT FOR MORE

INEOS Automotive is launching its first brand advertising campaign Built for More, introducing the award-winning Grenadier 4X4 to a broad global audience with a multi-channel activation across television, print, social, outdoor media and on-demand video streaming. Debuting on June 19th in the UK, the campaign will have rapid rollout in Germany, North America and Australia, before wider release through online and social media in over 45 markets where the INEOS Grenadier is available.

Moving away from the trend for cosmetic SUVs with complicated technology, the Grenadier was devised by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who identified a gap in the market for a hard-working 4X4 that combined best-in-class off-road capability with modern on-road driving refinement for people who enjoy the experience and adventure of being behind the wheel. Since launch, the 4X4 has been joined by the Quartermaster, a double-cab pick-up variant, and in February 2024 a third vehicle line was revealed - The INEOS Fusilier, offering two powertrain options: A range-extender which uses a small, low emission petrol engine to charge the electric battery when external charging isn’t available, alongside an all-electric.

The Built for More brand platform was conceived and created by Wonderhood Studios and is focused on the feeling of possibility that getting behind an INEOS Automotive vehicle can give you. Wavemaker UK is responsible for the worldwide media buying strategy and launch plan which is designed to reach 400 million adventure-oriented adults with placements focused on this year’s high-profile sporting events including UEFA EURO fixtures, the Summer Olympic Games in Paris and Formula 1 Grand Prix.

This is the first project since Wonderhood Studios was appointed INEOS Automotive’s retained global creative agency, with the wider brief including global social strategy, community management and engagement through Wonderhood Makers, and refreshing the brand’s global visual identity through Wonderhood Design.

INEOS Automotive appointed Wavemaker UK as its media agency based on its global expertise as well the ability to tap into localised knowledge via Wavemaker’s industry-leading tools and research. Due to Wavemaker’s global network it also provides ‘boots on the ground’ for an accelerated and effectively communicated strategy in all markets. Wavemaker UK has a long-standing relationship with INEOS, having been appointed as the media agency for its Hygienics brand in March 2022.
