When your Subaru gets a lot of miles, you got a lot of places, and get a lot of stickers.
And when you get a lot of stickers ... there's only one place to put them.
ALL OVER THE WHOLE DANG CAR.
A brand truth, exaggerated.
Always a fun recipe.

Ever since we were old enough to click on a flashlight, electricity has guided us on adventure. Today, electricity is still lighting the way. In the form of the all-electric Subaru Solterra.

They put the cars guys on a project for ranch dressing. Not a ton of crossover. But the brief was simple: show the world how obsessed Hidden Valley Ranch is with flavor. So, naturally, we partnered with the only other brand in the world as obsessed with flavor as Hidden Valley Ranch ā¦
Hidden Valley Ranch.
In 1903, Harley-Davidson created something much bigger than their first motorcycle.
They created a bond.
A relationship between rider and brand so strong that people have worn it on jackets, inked it on their bodies, and named their first-borns after it. After 120 years of riders embracing the brand in permanent, profound, and meaningful ways, it was time we returned the favor.
So, for our 120th anniversary, we turned over some of the most precious real estate in the world - our iconic logo - and used it to put riders and their experience at the heart of the brand.
Quite literally replacing the bar at the center, where the HARLEY-DAVIDSON wordmark stood for so many years, and updating it with the ultimate expression of riding one ā the riderās eyes.
This started as a social post for National Ice Cream Day. A one-off highlighting different Porsche paint colors that are also ice cream flavors. Then we asked āwhat if we did it for real?ā Below is what it became.
More than a fun activation, this idea taught us how powerful that little question can be. And the do-it-for-real mindset continues to fuel our work and the way we CD teams.

Some movie partnerships make lunchboxes. Some make action figures. Some make yogurts. We made a spaceship. A real Porsche-inspired Star Wars spaceship. Bringing together designers from Stuttgart and San Francisco to make it happen.

GTS drivers love to drive. And drive. And drive. And drive. Which can lead to an unfortunate fashion dilemma. One fixed only by a particular artisan and a few hundred glorious miles ā¦
Endurance racing is confusing. After years of trying to explain it, we finally said F it. And just went straight at how itās hard to understand ⦠but cool to watch.
Eight generations of 911 Turbo. Eight period-specific sneakers to match. We dropped them in the most Turbo-y way possible. With a special release that lasted only 2.7 seconds. The 0-60 speed of the car. Which was long enough to immediately sell out.

We've turned paint colors into ice cream, created the world's fastest sneaker release, oversaw the design of a Porsche Star Wars spaceship, created a helmet to save bugs destined for Porsche windshields, pretended we were tough motorcycle guys for Harley-Davidsonās 120th anniversary, and, most recently, tapped into our loving side for Subaru.
Amongst all the auto, a weirdly conjoined bottle of āDouble Ranchā broke our shortlist streak at Cannes.
Of course.
