Avis Australia’s Launches Latest Campaign: ‘Art Of Discovery’

Avis Australia has launched its ‘Art of Discovery’ brand campaign, aiming to inspire road trip journeys through heroing the creative work of a selection of Australian and New Zealand artists.

The campaign will allow consumers to view the scenic Australian and New Zealand landscape through the eyes of contemporary artists, who embark on a road trip in a signature Avis rental vehicle to inspire their creations.

With the work of six artists initially on show across outdoor, print and online advertising in locations, the campaign will continue to work with more local artists over the next year.

The 2019 campaign will culminate with all featured artwork being put on display at an exhibition and auction hosted in Sydney in November 2019.

Proceeds from the auction will be donated to Avis Budget Group’s charity partners R U OK? and Cure Kids NZ.

The content was captured by Flint director and photographer Jonathan May, who followed artists such as Jacob Spokes (featured image) to Lightning Ridge in north-western New South Wales as he retraced his father’s footsteps as a miner.

May also accompanied Rachel Hirabayashi to New Zealand where she used driving and solitude as her inspiration for artwork.

Avis Budget Group Pacific’s head of marketing, product & PR, Vanessa Wolczak said: “With the Art of Discovery campaign we wanted to create a departure from historic rental car campaigns, offering a unique perspective for Avis customers to view iconic locations across Australia and New Zealand.

“We’re extremely excited to provide a platform for homegrown artists to showcase their incredible talent to a wide audience and we hope Aussies and Kiwis will be as inspired by the creations as we are.”

The campaign will continue to be rolled out over the next year with more artwork featuring in advertising across digital, print and out-of-home platforms.
