Marina City in Hyundai ad

An ad campaign unveiled in February 2008 for Hyundai Motor America showed its cars driving past Chicago landmarks, and one image featured Marina City.

The print ad appeared on the Hyundai web site. Other images in the series show Hyundai cars at Daley Plaza, Shedd Aquarium, and Grant Park.

Hyundai is based in Seoul, South Korea. Its advertising was handled by The Richards Group of Dallas. The agency’s work includes the television spots for Corona, set on a beach, with Corono beer bottles in the foreground.
