American luxury car manufacturer, Cadillac, has appointed 72andSunny to drive growth in Australia.

The General Motors owned brand, that has been an icon of American luxury for over a century, launched in Australia in 2024, starting with the all-new fully electric luxury SUV, the LYRIQ. 

72andSunny was appointed to develop the local brand positioning, interpreting the US strategy whilst making it relevant for modern Australian consumers. The brand work will guide the end to end, local Cadillac brand experience. 

Heath Walker, director of marketing, GM ANZ, stated, “72andSunny were able to quickly get to the heart of what has made Cadillac so successful overseas then connect that with their understanding of modern Australian audiences and the significant shifts that we’re seeing in luxury. Their belief in being bold, sophisticated and optimistic also resonated with our team’s ambitions.”

Ross Berthinussen, president ANZ, 72andSunny, added, “We are thrilled to collaborate with this ambitious team and by the possibilities we can unlock together. Cadillac is such an iconic brand that has been embraced by American culture, from Elvis to Beyonce, we had to get to the heart of the why behind that then how to make that relevant for modern Australian luxury consumers.” 

The appointment is an extension of a relationship in the US, with Cadillac working with 72andSunny LA since 2024. The brand work is now complete and the agency will be partnering with Cadillac on creative projects next.
