The campaign’s branded content component includes three films produced by CNNIC’s global brand studio Create that will convey Hyundai’s messages around the new paradigm of electric. With a cinematic documentary approach, the films discover new possibilities in life and follow individuals’ journeys with curiosity and exploration in mind.

The partnership also includes Hyundai’s exclusive sponsorship of two editorial initiatives ‘Saved by The Future’ and ‘Time Transformed’. Launching across CNN International TV, digital and social platforms, the series explores transport and mobility innovations set to transform our cities, economies and societies in the next ten years.

Saved by The Future is hosted by TV presenter Nicki Shields and airs from October to December. Time Transformed is a special series where CNN meets thought leaders of renewable energy, green mobility, intelligent design, business and urban planning.

“Building on CNN’s long-held belief in and coverage of the power of technology and innovation, we are delighted to embark on this journey of hope, inspiration and ingenuity together with Hyundai Motor Company. Our premium storytelling and deep insight into stories that engage with global viewers has enabled us to create fascinating content about new mobility technologies which encourages and inspires our audiences for a better future,” said Rob Bradley, senior vice president, CNN International Commercial.

“Collaborating with CNN International Commercial will be an exciting opportunity for Hyundai Motor to share a glimpse into the future of mobility as we envision it,” said Wonhong Cho, global chief marketing officer of Hyundai Motor Company.

“Through this campaign, we will highlight new possibilities in life as well as the benefits of electrified mobility with IONIQ - our dedicated electric vehicle lineup brand.”
