In a refreshing departure from the ad industry’s obsessive focus on awards which mean nothing to the general public, we are pleased to see that 180LA is giving a nod to awards “regular” people have heard of: Guinness World Records.

To highlight the winter weather prowess of the Mitsubishi Outlader and Outlander Sport, 180LA traveled to Ghost Lake near Calgary, Alberta in an attempt to break as menay Guinness World Records as they could in a 24 hour period.

With elaborate set ups and a Daniel Craig’s stunt double, Garvin Cross, five records were surpassed:

1. Greatest distance driven by a vehicle in reverse on snow in 30 seconds;
2. Shortest braking distance by a vehicle on ice;
3. Most vehicle figure eights on ice in two minutes;
4. Fastest vehicle slalom relay on ice; and
5. Fastest driven square lap.

This work will be part of a campaign which launches today across TV, digital, social and PR. Spots will air on 12 network and cable TV stations, including ESPN, Discovery Channel, and FX. Digital marketing includes homepage takeovers, online banners as well as a social media push. All campaign elements lead consumers to www.MitsubishiCars.com/WorldRecords to find out more.

Of the campaign, 180LA Creative Director Gavin Milner said, “Breaking world records seemed like a worthy challenge, as well as a fresh idea for a marketing campaign. It’s an awesome way to show the technical prowess of the feature-rich lineup of Outlander vehicles.”

Grandparents who build real relationships with their grandchildren aren’t the ones who try hardest — they’re the ones who are most genuinely themselves in those relationships, who don’t perform grandparenthood but simply show up as a person the child finds worth knowing, and children are extraordinarily accurate detectors of the difference between someone who is interested in them and someone who is interested in the idea of being close to them

Psychologists explain that happiness after 60 often arrives not as a feeling but as an absence. The absence of pretending. The absence of urgency. The absence of the persistent low-grade fear that you’re falling behind a race that never existed.

I raised my children the way I was raised — with high standards, clear expectations and not much room for emotional mess — and spent my 60s learning that what I’d experienced as good parenting they had experienced as a home where being imperfect was quietly dangerous, and that the distance my youngest maintains isn’t rudeness or ingratitude, it’s just the amount of space she needed to finally feel safe
