We pushed the Lincoln brand for the 2026 Summer Event. Typically, this brief is reduced to highlighting the sheet metal. Instead, we crafted an intimate story about the bond between a surfer and his dog — injecting dirt roads, waves, and adventure into a brand world traditionally reserved for Ford.
This integrated campaign was also paired with a humorous radio spot as well as social pieces all from the perspective and narration of of the Surf Pup.
The excitement of summer starts in a Navigator.
Happy DogLincoln
