The campaign had to reinforce Land Rover’s credentials as a forward-facing brand and deliver real brand appeal. The communications challenge was to get our Ambitious Aspirers audience to think and feel differently about Land Rover in a new, modern and surprising way. The ultimate goal was to create a moment in time for our audience through paid for media, wowing them, appealing to their entrepreneurial spirit, and encouraging them to explore Land Rover’s rich online content and turning them into advocates willing to share their positive opinions..

Ten years and billions of dollars in the making, the Mars Rover Curiosity is poised to answer this all-important question.In Mars Rover Curiosity: An Inside Account from Curiosity\'s Chief Engineer, Rob Manning, the project\'s chief engineer, tells of bringing the groundbreaking spacecraft to life. Manning and his team at NASA\'s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, tasked with designing a lander many times larger and more complex than any before, faced technical setbacks, fights over inadequate resources, and the challenges of leading an army of brilliant, passionate, and often frustrated experts.Manning\'s fascinating personal account--which includes information from his exclusive interviews with leading Curiosity scientists--is packed with tales of revolutionary feats of science, technology, and engineering. Readers experience firsthand the disappointment at encountering persistent technical problems, the agony of near defeat, the sense of victory at finding innovative solutions to these problems, the sheer terror of staking careers and reputations on a lander that couldn\'t be tested on Earth, and the rush of triumph at its successful touchdown on Mars on August 5, 2012. This is the story of persistence, dedication, and unrelenting curiosity.
