The Parents

The portrayal of families in advertising is often unrealistic and unattainable. To position the XC60 as the ultimate family car, Forsman & Bodenfors wanted to show people that even the most responsible parent can get tired and lose focus for a second. And when that happens, XC60 is there for your protection. The result was The Parents, a global multi-channel campaign that combined high craft with the charming chaos of family life, highlighting how the car looks after you like you look after your children. All assets lead to the same powerful message: sometimes we all need someone looking after us.
