Interbrand partners with D&AD Student Awards to release competition brief in collaboration with Nissan

Interbrand and Nissan have asked students to consider how the brand will address its audience, how to anticipate audience needs, and how to reawaken the public’s desire for Nissan’s products and services.

On top of this to fulfil the brief students have to create a flexible brand identity and sub-brand personality, as well as considering how the brand will involve its audience and how social media and digital channels can be used to engage people in a dialogue.

Submissions will be judged on how effectively the sub-brand comes alive across a range of media and experiences, including online and offline.

Interbrand’s global chief creative officer, Andy Payne, said of the brief: “Great brands anticipate our needs and transform our desires. At Interbrand, we believe that to create such powerful brands, we must encourage curiosity. We hope that this exercise will enable students to gain both the confidence and experience to build a brand that has the power to change the world.”

Entries for this brief must be submitted by Wednesday 20 March 2013, more information and the full brief can be viewed on the D&AD website.
