PLANO, Texas (April 19, 2021)— In a new marketing campaign breaking today, Lexus presents the human side of its brand and automotive technology, as expressed in the automaker’s flagship sedan, the 2021 LS 500. The new LS was designed with human experiences and emotions in mind, with intuitive technology and features that act in partnership with its driver. The campaign, called “Modern Leaders,” stars bestselling author and sports analyst Emmanuel Acho and author and Mogul CEO Tiffany Pham.

“The flagship LS is our ultimate expression of omotenashi, or anticipatory hospitality,” said Vinay Shahani, vice president of marketing for Lexus. “Our human-centric design and engineering philosophy elevates the Lexus ownership experience and helps create an emotional connection between our guests and their LS.”

In “Utterly Human,” starring Acho, and “More Than Intelligence,” starring Pham, the LS plays an integral role in assisting two modern leaders with preparation for on-camera appearances by providing a luxuriously comfortable and innovative space that inspires their speeches Acho and Pham enjoy a few of the flagship sedan’s suite of available features including Shiatsu Massage, Climate Concierge and Head-Up Display.
