Nissan's latest campaign to market the Nissan Rogue is brought to life in a two and a half minute online video. It begins with a guy needing a ride that he calls up using the ride service Uber.  A very attractive Uber driver shows up in the new Rogue and proceeds to drive him to his destination when all of a sudden a motorcycle pulls up next to them and gives the Uber drive a metal briefcase.  The light changes and the action begins with exploding cars, wrecked motorcycles, and a startled unsuspecting backseat passenger.

The spot is a bit hard to follow in the 60 second TV version, but for those who are interested in wanting to know more the spot ends with a call to action to the website OpenTheBriefcase.com.

The website is a Facebook tab on the Nissan Rogue Facebook page. Fortunately, the team was smart enough to not force someone to Like the page to engage with the content.  Once there, a short 40 second video exposes what's in the briefcase.  Spoiler alert. A key to a new Nissan Rogue that three people can win.

Basically all you do after watching the video is enter your email and click on one of three briefcases. I clicked on one and it zoomed in around it and then said I had another chance to win on another day. Personally I was confused as it wasn't clear what just happened, other than viewing a corner of a briefcase image at a higher zoom. Not much of an interactive rich experience. Too bad, as the video is compelling, too bad the user experience is less than interesting.

With all the action of the video and the focus of the three briefcases, the Nissan Rouge is a bit lost in all of it.  Maybe shooting the action video in daylight would've showed off the vehicle more as the dark night and black Rogue disappear in the darkness, literally.
