Mochi New Advertising Campaign
Since the beginning culture feeds on the past in order to build a different and possibly better future. Mochi Craft agrees completely with this philosophy and becomes holder of "A new sea culture", the new pay-off that goes together with the red Dolphin symbol of the shipyard. Future and innovation, by the way, are always inspired by imagination, dreams and by the aim to look forward and farer. This visionary attitude moves Mochi Craft and pushed architects and designers to conceive unique and unmistakable yachts. Two hearts of Mochi Craft - Dolphin line which invented the Lobster Boat "Italian Style" and Long Range 23 the revolutionary first motor-yacht over 20 metres able to cruise in "Zero Emission Mode" - are in the spotlight of the new advertising campaign which will be planned on the main nautical and lifestyle magazines. The communication agency INADV conceived new advertisements that fully reflect the shipyard character in two campaigns: the campaign "Islands" created for Dolphin line embodies this concept through unreal islands that represent the most beautiful cities in the world, far and unreachable for everyone but not for Mochi. Headline "We Create Words that others can't even imagine" strengthen what in shown in the visual part. Mochi Craft is a visionary and strongly innovative brand, talented to make what is inconceivable for other shipyards. The second campaign "Drop-curtain" realized for the last model of the fleet Long Range 23 reflects the aim of the brand through the overcoming of the horizon line that the owner pulls up like a sort of curtain: limits are moved because going where everyone can go is not enough for the person who sails in this revolutionary motor-yacht. The sub head, "The ambition to look forward. The ability to get there" appears in both campaigns and underlines that Mochi Craft is reaching these target thanks to his visionary and dreamy attitude but also thanks to absolute quality and cutting hedge technology that represent the yard's DNA.
Mochi Gets Another Award
