Welcome to BOOST by MobilityXlab: An Epic Discussion

You have probably seen the Volvo Trucks Epic Split ad, where Jean-Claude van Damme performs one of his trademark splits between two Volvo trucks going in reverse. But did you know how the idea was born? And that it was only one part of a series of ads called the Live Test Series, all based on a very close collaboration between engineers and creatives? 

In this inspiration session, we feature the creative Björn Engström, a seasoned professional in the advertising industry and board member of several startups. Along with Susanna Glenndahl Thorslund, innovation manager at MobilityXlab, he will discuss the close collaboration process between engineers and creatives in developing The Epic Split and how to communicate innovation in a creative, engaging, and cost-efficient way in a global digital landscape.

The event will take place in Zoom. The link will be sent closer to the event date.
