The focus of the campaign was to home in on the great technological advantages the Jazz now has to offer, including e:HEV Hybrid and Connected Services technology, whilst retaining its unique qualities that it has set a high benchmark for, such as its safety and spaciousness,” Honda Motor Europe marketing communications manger Fabrice Estève said in a statement. “With Sid Lee and Hakuhodo we have been able to demonstrate the emotional connection our customers can experience when driving the all-new Jazz with this exciting and eye-catching campaign.”
