Woodkid, an artist/director/musician/ "constantly transforming into whomever and whatever he wants to create." Aaron Koblin, a "digital media artist, innovator and rule-breaker." And last but not least, Rafael Grampa a "graphic novel creator," who "transforms his daring imagination into award-winning epic stories."
Jonas Tåhlin, Absolut's vice president global marketing had this to say about the new campaign:
"Transform Today is a call to arms—a rallying cry for a generation of creativity to break free from the idea that anything is predetermined and to take control of their future. The brand ethos manifests our belief that tomorrow is not a given, it’s for everyone to create.”
Good to see the more things change, the more they absolutely don't.
