Overview

The brief

UD Trucks and Isuzu needed a first collaboration moment that could prove the “New Isuzu Group” story in a single, high-visibility format. We designed and produced a joint media event that combined bilingual leadership messaging, choreographed product unveiling, and broadcast-grade live distribution, so the partnership launched as operational reality, not just a headline.

The work

01 / Challenge

The first joint announcement between UD Trucks and Isuzu had to do more than introduce new models. It needed to establish credibility for a new group identity in front of top-tier media, dealer networks, and industry partners who would be forming their first impressions simultaneously.

02 / Transformation

YF delivered end-to-end event architecture and production for the joint press conference: program design, bilingual content support, and full technical and on-site operations. Every element was built to create a stable, high-production environment where the "New Isuzu Group" story could land clearly.

03 / Impact

UD Trucks and Isuzu achieved a cohesive, media-ready launch moment that introduced the new collaboration with authority and precision. The bilingual delivery ensured the message reached both domestic and international audiences with equal clarity.
