Lexus has launched a campaign in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco in which storefronts are covered by large, full-motion ads that react to pedestrian movement and engage consumers.
Working with Monster Media, the campaign uses MonsterVision to promote Lexus’s RX 350 luxury SUV.

The safety-focused ads are “larger than life, flaunting color, sound, and motion at once, communicating the brand’s latest safety message, ‘The safest accidents are the ones that never happen,’” according to Monster Media.
