We’ve recently seen Louis Vuitton’s ad starring Pharrell Williams for the LV-Blason Jewelry. Now for its new and first television ad campaign, LV is shifting a bit from their luxury image to a more adventurous one. The tone of the ad is more philosophical too asking, “What is a journey?” With collective images from around the world of people, nature, and cityscapes (with a little image hint of an LV bag), this ad is Louis Vuitton’s most emotional one yet. The campaign comes from the Ogilvy agency in Paris.
