DODGE
A speculative rebrand and EV launch campaign exploring how Dodge can transition from its muscle car heritage into a new era of electric performance. The project repositions Dodge as a future-facing brand built on precision, technology and cultural relevance, while maintaining the rebellious spirit that defined its legacy.
The Challenge
Dodge is historically recognised for raw power, muscle car heritage and aggressive performance. As the automotive industry shifts towards electrification, the challenge was to evolve the brand for a new generation of drivers while maintaining the rebellious spirit that made Dodge iconic. The project focused on repositioning Dodge’s EV future as a symbol of modern performance, culture and innovation.
