Dodge wants a new approach on its US clients and launches a new campaign that will be aired accross the country. “Domestic.

The tagline is also integrated in a new “Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat – Unleashed (Episode One)” video debuting July 29 on the brand’s YouTube channel.
The “Domestic. Not Domesticated.” tagline was created in partnership with Austin, Texas-based GSD&M, the new Dodge brand agency-of-record.
The tagline first appeared in a Dodge print ad appearing in ESPN The Magazine’s 2016 “Body Issue,” released earlier this month.
