Lexus is targeting consumers who are
longing to escape with its first convertible in five years, the 2021 LC 500, available this summer.
Creative from Team One “leans in to that need to get out and soak in the freedom and
daylight,” according to the automaker.
“The decision to purchase a convertible is typically an emotional one,” said Lisa Materazzo, Lexus vice president of marketing,
in a release. “There’s simply no substitute for the universal human emotion of joy that comes from an open-air drive.”
“Keep the
Light Alive” features the parallel feelings of what a child experiences playing outside to an adult driving the LC 500 convertible on a winding road at sunset. It continues the tagline used
since 2017, “Experience Amazing,” voiced by actress Minnie Driver.
