The idea

I spent a week living in a Nissan Sentra. That premise became the centerpiece of a national campaign with TBWA\Chiat\Day.

My role

I co-created and starred in the campaign, with creative development, content production and on-camera talent. It was credited as “a film by Marc Horowitz.”

The work

The launch brought together blog posts, YouTube videos and staged public events across TV and web.
