Hyundai Motor’s April Fools’ Day campaign, titled ‘Dogbility,’ showcased a humorous yet innovative vision of future mobility for dogs. Using generative AI technology, Hyundai crafted engaging visuals to highlight its commitment to universal accessibility in transportation.
Sungwon Jee, Senior Vice President and Global Chief Marketing Officer at Hyundai Motor Company, emphasized the goal of bringing laughter to fans while underlining Hyundai’s aspiration for a future where mobility is inclusive for all. The ‘Dogbility’ concept featured imaginative features such as a rotary steering wheel for stability, downward-facing pedals to cater to canine comfort, and a color-changing HUD for enhanced visibility.
To amplify engagement, Hyundai executed guerilla advertising in Seoul, targeting both human and canine audiences with strategically placed posters. This approach sparked conversations worldwide about inclusivity in mobility, resonating particularly well with pet owners seeking solutions for their furry companions.
The campaign generated significant interest on social media, with many expressing genuine enthusiasm for the concept and even suggesting extending the idea to accommodate other pets. Despite its playful nature, the campaign underscored Hyundai’s commitment to innovation and its vision of becoming a leader in smart mobility solutions.
By leveraging generative AI in content creation, Hyundai Motor effectively communicated its dedication to advancing mobility solutions that ensure freedom of movement for everyone, including our four-legged friends.
