Jaguar’s new rebranding has caused confusion online. The luxury car company released a promotional video showing models in futuristic, brightly colored outfits walking through strange, alien-like settings.
However, there were no cars in the video, which left many viewers confused. The campaign slogan, “Copy Nothing,” along with a new, stylized logo, was meant to emphasize innovation and boldness. Instead, it received backlash for failing to highlight the most important thing: the vehicles that made Jaguar famous. Many people, including Elon Musk, criticized the video for not focusing on Jaguar’s cars.
Marketing experts say Jaguar made a mistake by ignoring its history as a classic British sports car brand. Instead of building on its strong reputation, the company took a very different approach. Some worry this could turn off loyal customers and fail to attract new ones.
Rebranding can work if done right, but it’s risky. Jaguar’s shift to electric cars is a chance to grow, but keeping their history in mind could help avoid the backlash they are facing now.
