MAHWAH, N.J., Sept. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Land Rover North America announced the details of the global advertising and marketing campaign for the all-new 2014 Range Rover Sport, the fastest, most agile and responsive Land Rover vehicle ever. The campaign theme, "Driven to Another Level," underscores the car's attributes and captures the personality of the brand's target customer for the fully redesigned Range Rover Sport.

The all-new Range Rover Sport was first revealed to the world at the 2013 New York International Auto Show -- New York being the number one market in the world for Range Rover Sport -- and completes the newly redesigned Range Rover line up that started with the Range Rover Evoque and then Range Rover.  The Range Rover Sport is the top-selling Land Rover vehicle in the U.S. and fuels the brand's steady momentum, including a 15 percent boost in sales in 2012 and a 14 percent lift, year-to-date.   The all-new 2014 model is only the second generation of the vehicle since its launch in 2005. In those eight years, 120,000 Range Rover Sport vehicles have been sold in North America.

"The all-new 2014 Range Rover Sport is a hallmark Land Rover representing true breadth of capability with incredible on-road and off-road handling and performance," said Kim McCullough, Brand Vice President, Land Rover North America. "We developed a campaign that lives up to this remarkable car, with creative that communicates its unique attributes and media properties that connect with our core customer who is as capable and driven as the Range Rover Sport itself."

The multi-channel campaign will incorporate creative elements across television, print and digital, along with several non-traditional brand partnerships. Y&R/Wunderman was responsible for the creative, while Mindshare managed the media planning and buying.

The commercial for the all-new Range Rover Sport aired earlier this week during Premier League soccer, the English football league shown exclusively on NBC Sports. TV will continue through November. The spot re-creates the real-life feat the car achieved when it set the world record for a production-standard Sport Utility Vehicle on the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb course on June 6.  

Subsequently, many campaign components are digitally-focused, including:  interactive web banner ads that enable a consumer to activate a Range Rover Sport driving experience on their mobile device; rich media mobile ads that bring multiple aspects of the car to life, from its "capable" driving experience, to its signature interior; and, an interactive film -- "Race the Sun" -- that puts the user in the driver seat to put the Range Rover Sport through its paces in five different scenarios to showcase the breadth of capability, both on and off road. Race the Sun features game components to test speed, agility and off- road handling, and you can explore the interior and exterior in an immersive 360 experience.

Other campaign highlights include:

• A 5-page, high-impact interactive print spread featuring image recognition technology that enables readers to wave their mobile device over the creative, activating it, to "feel," "see," and "hear" more about the new Range Rover Sport. Creative will run in November issues of Esquire and Car & Driver as well as the December issue of Wired
• Presenting sponsor of "The Live Climb" which follows Alex Honnold as he attempts the first ever solo free climb of an urban skyscraper airing on National Geographic Channel
• Multi-media partnerships with Men's Journal , Outside and ESPN that feature o riginal video series, "The Driven" telling the story of innovators and adventure seekers as they focus on their next achievement
