The campaign jumpstarts on Tuesday, July 28, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT with a livestream event on Twitter. Billed “Triple Threat,” the one-of-a-kind showcase will be directed by Darrin Prescott, action unit director on some of Hollywood’s most action-packed films including Baby Driver, Ford Vs. Ferrari, Drive, John Wick, Black Panther, and The Bourne Ultimatum, and willprovide car enthusiasts with a virtual look at the capability of the all-new K5.
In addition to Prescott, “Triple Threat” features professional driver Collete Davis and actor Jeremy Ray Valdez, who will serve as event co-hosts, and stunt drivers Sean Graham and father-daughter stunt driving duo Jalil Jay and Brionna Lynch. Each stunt driver will get behind the wheel of a K5 and put the vehicle’s sleek design, on-road prowess, and dynamic performance to the ultimate test. The national campaign also includes a robust social media presence and national broadcast components that will be announced later in August.
“The all-new K5 is a completely new direction for Kia and the midsize sedan category overall, so we needed a marketing campaign that was as dynamic and action packed as the vehicle itself,” said Russell Wager, director, marketing operations, Kia Motors America. “By combining live events with more traditional elements, the K5 and Kia will be presented in ways never seen before and sure to change perceptions of the midsize sedan category.”
