Accenture Song and Harley-Davidson Encourage You to Ride Out into Golden Summer Days

Accenture Song has announced the launch of its latest campaign for Harley-Davidson, titled “Answer The Call”. This marks the first fully shot campaign for Harley-Davidson, highlighting a renewed confidence and trust from the iconic brand. 

As the campaign is rolled out mostly across Europe, including key markets such as the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, Accenture Song chose locations that allowed to shoot footage and imagery imbued with a European flavour.

Embracing the Spirit of Summer

Launching mid-summer, “Answer The Call” captures the essence of the prime riding season with long, inviting days perfect for exploring the open road. The campaign invites Harley-Davidson enthusiasts and potential riders alike to embrace the thrill of riding, whether it's upgrading to a new bike, enhancing their ride with new parts and accessories, or stepping into the brand with Harley's stylish summer apparel.

“Answer The Call” is a call to arms – a call to ride out into those long, golden sweet summer days “that stretch out like freeways” and celebrate their love of the open road, of companionship, and of the Harley-Davidson brand itself.

A Diverse and Authentic Narrative

The campaign's centrepiece is a two-minute film featuring four distinct riders, each on a different Harley-Davidson model, from the Sportster S to the Pan America. Filmed in Spain to evoke a European ambience, the narrative underscores the diversity of Harley riders and the team behind the scenes, including key female creatives in senior roles. Texan voice actor JC Martin lends his voice to the campaign, adding the unmistakable Harley flavour.

A Versatile Toolkit for Global Markets

“Answer The Call” is designed with flexibility in mind, providing markets with a robust toolkit that spans film, digital, social, print, and point of sale. 

Frazer Howard, Accenture Song creative director said, “I have always loved working on Harley-Davidson – JC Martin is the voice I hear in my head when I’m writing copy - and this was such a brilliant opportunity to create a rallying call for everyone from current riders to people who’ve not yet set foot inside a Harley dealership. The fact that we’ve been able to create such a beautiful, emotive, and frankly huge integrated campaign is testament to everyone involved, whether that’s at Accenture, our brilliant director and production company and our clients at Harley-Davidson, who had our back throughout the entire process. Dream team doesn’t cover it.”
