Client: Cadillac Formula 1 | Agency: Translation | Role: Executive Creative Director

Cadillac is entering Formula 1 in a race against time.

With a league of opponents decades ahead, fans unsure of America’s place in the global sport, and less than a year to build a car, the odds aren’t in their favor.

But our country’s most ambitious leaps of faith didn’t start by asking for permission. Even when the mountain appears too tall, the finish line looks impossibly far away, or the task seems too “hard”, we choose to go.

Featuring an excerpt from John F. Kennedy’s “We Choose To Go” speech delivered at Rice University; Additional audio courtesy of NASA’s Apollo 11 Mission Control Archives; Original score by Oscar-nominee Max Richter.

Livery pre-reveal and launch stills, Out-of-home, print, and e-commerce photography were all captured by the incredible Alexis Belhumeur.

 

In tandem with our Super Bowl launch, we revealed the brand new Cadillac livery to the world, in the middle of Times Square, for thousands of freezing F1 fans.

Hours later, the car showed up in Bahrain and was racing on the track for the first time ever. We worked with the Shot On iPhone team at Apple to document the full test drive through the lens of an iPhone 17 Pro.

Much more soon.
