They’re going to love it,” said Daniel Florence, COO of Sixt USA. “Leveraging this and future campaigns, we’re executing a highly-tested, successful strategy that has made Sixt a beloved household name in more than 100 countries.”

The campaign centers around a lavishly-produced TV spot, depicting an elderly woman in a rental car embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime road trip to places where she created memories with a long-lost love as she searches to connect. Featuring a surprising twist at the end, the ad ends with the line, “Okay, we can’t do emotional. But we can do affordable.” It is being distributed globally on digital channels, social media, in newsletters, and in advertising at airports and other locations. Sixt developed the idea and concept with the agency thjnk in Munich, with production from Tempomedia.
