We were thrilled to once again work with the Studebaker National Museum to help promote their exciting Racecars and Record Holders exhibit It’s always a great day at the office when you get to step back in time and see what put South Bend on the map.

As marketers, we have been aware of ’s turmoil and potential demise in the United States for quite some time now. It should be no surprise to anyone at this point, and plans should have been put in place for companies to embrace other platforms that resonate with their personas.

The law is scheduled to take effect Jan. 19 if the high court doesn’t step in—and it's still unclear if Trump will try to stop the law.

Jaguar's recent rebranding campaign has ignited significant discussion within the marketing community. The promotional video emphasizes diversity and modernism without featuring any vehicles and has drawn praise and criticism. Some view it as a bold departure from traditional automotive advertising, while others label it as excessively "woke" and disconnected from Jaguar's heritage.
Jaguar's managing director, Rawdon Glover, has defended the campaign. He expressed disappointment over the "vile hatred and intolerance" directed at the advertisement and its models. He emphasized that the intent was to differentiate Jaguar from other automakers and re-establish its brand at a higher market level.
As a brand development and marketing agency, Force 5 would like to hear your thoughts on this approach. Is Jaguar's rebranding a visionary move that sets them apart, or does it deviate too far from their established identity? Their new approach is definitely tailored to a younger audience. Jaguar seems to have ripped off the bandage and moved too quickly to win that new demographic. Share your perspectives below!

Challenging the ordinary and redefining expectations, Jaguar is inspiring a new generation. Explore the new era of Jaguar.

Be the Light!
In a world of division, brands have a unique opportunity—and responsibility—to bridge the gaps. As marketers, we believe that silence isn’t the answer. Meaningful connections, empathetic listening, and shared experiences can drive real impact, promoting unity and healing without taking sides.
Let’s remember that brands can be beacons of hope, inspiring positivity and understanding. It’s time to harness our power to connect and build a brighter future—one human connection at a time.
