YOKOHAMA, Japan — INFINITI today announces a new marketing partnership with a unique global creative solution with Publicis Groupe to propel the luxury automaker forward into a new era of product and branding opportunities. Called PUBLICIS Q, this bespoke solution looks ahead to INFINITI's new era of luxury automobiles while recalling the first — the Q45 — in the name of its agency.
"The partnership we've created with Publicis is the first page in an exciting new chapter for INFINITI," said Phil York, general manager of INFINITI Global brand and marketing. "Beginning with the stunning, all-new 2022 INFINITI QX60 arriving later this year, the data-driven approach and multifaceted solutions PUBLICIS Q will take for creative, social, and digital marketing will drive our brand ahead from a single point of origin."
A year after INFINITI moved its headquarters to Yokohama, the luxury automaker has undergone significant changes to reconnect with the brand's heritage and its strengths. In partnership with PUBLICIS Q, INFINITI looks forward to further developing its own authentic brand story to match consumer tastes and to fortify its strong position going forward.
The upcoming 2022 INFINITI QX60 will be the first model to embrace the concepts created by PUBLICIS Q and will adopt the company's approach to bringing Modern Japanese Luxury to Life with its launch campaign. The new 3-year partnership between INFINITI and PUBLICIS Q will cover additional models coming to the luxury lineup, part of a product renaissance for the automaker soon.
This appointment won't impact current agreements with OMD Worldwide, marketing partners in China, nor parent-company Nissan's relationship with TBWA Worldwide. The new partnership also signals the completion of INFINITI's relationship with Crispin Porter Bogusky.
INFINITI leveraged the strategic guidance and coordination of MediaLink for the entire agency selection process. MediaLink will continue to support the transition process to ensure PUBLICIS Q is integrated seamlessly across the globe.
"We're grateful for the hard work and talent CPB has brought to INFINITI for the past few years," York said. "Their cooperation and diligence show in the successful campaigns they've helped us create."
Today's announcement also completes a 9-month review to select a marketing partner. Terms of the agreement between INFINITI and PUBLICIS Q won't be made public.
