Defender Experience

In 2024, Autumn Works was enlisted to craft a dynamic new asset suite for the JLR Experience program, spanning Range Rover, Discovery, and—our focus for this case study—Defender. The JLR Experience isn’t just about driving; it’s about pushing these vehicles to their limits in breathtaking off-road environments. It’s an adventure fueled by immersion, excitement, and personal growth. As a major brand driver and a standout feature in JLR’s customer journey, the Experience program sets JLR apart, offering something few can match—a true connection between driver, machine, and the wild.
