Aston Martin has signed a partnership with Condé Nast Stories for a content campaign, ‘The Beauty of Design,’ to appear on the British Vogue and GQ sites and social media platforms.
‘The Beauty of Design’, a film directed by Jim Demuth and produced by Posy Dixon, will broadcast on Vogue and GQ, each framed by a different item of commissioned native content to connect fully with the audience. Led by Dolly Jones, Digital Content & Strategy Director of Condé Nast Digital, the campaign features Marek Reichman, Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin, discussing the design pieces that have inspired him; from architecture to industrial design, art and sculpture. Filmed at the Royal College of Art, where he studied, this is Marek’s perspective on the beauty of design in action and is a prime example of beautiful storytelling content living across multiple platforms, say the publishers.
Dolly Jones says, “We are thrilled to unveil the partnership with Aston Martin which reflects the quality of content we are able to aspire to, both editorially and commercially, on all our titles. Aston Martin is 104 years old, and to have been given the chance to tell its stories the Condé Nast way has set the bar even higher for us, and for the market.”
Marek Reichman, Aston Martin EVP and Chief Creative Officer says, “In this world of fast-paced short form content vying for the attention of consumers, one of life’s luxuries is taking a bit of time to enjoy great storytelling content. We are delighted to be working with Condé Nast Stories to showcase ‘The Beauty of Design’ to the luxury editorial and commercial lifestyle world.”
The Beauty of Design is live from Thursday 29th June and can be found on Vogue here and GQ here.
