Driven Beyond campaign reflects mental and physical fortitude it takes to achieve great things
Land Rover has been at the heart of Rugby for over two decades, from grassroots to the pinnacle of the sport. And in August, Land Rover South Africa will pay tribute to the Springbok team in the form of a marketing campaign #DrivenBeyond.
Lisa Mallett, Marketing Director, Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and sub-Sahara Africa, said: “Land Rover has supported global rugby on every level. Here in South Africa, we are involved with local unions, clubs and rural schools, in the form of Rugby Goes Rural, to support the development of rugby at grass roots. Land Rover’s support of the Springboks, both on and off the field, is shared by our common values of integrity, composure, strength and capability. Land Rover enables these fearless athletes face the demands of pursuing their passion for the sport, building legends along the way.”
To perform at the pace demanded from the players with constant precision and accuracy does not come easily. It requires clarity of thought and that treasured ability to remain calm in the midst of chaos. The ability of the rugby player isn’t only demonstrated on the field in the 80-minutes of the game. It’s what happens before, during and after. The obstacles faced along the way, developing the critical skills and ability to overcome them is what enables a player to flourish and obtain the stature of representing one’s country
The Driven Beyond campaign, demonstrates the mental and physical fortitude it takes to push one’s self above and beyond in order to achieve great things, become a legend. The journey to success is not an easy one. There are constant obstacles to navigate through and sacrifices are made, with Land Rover there to support them no matter what.
“There is no easy road to success; It’s rocky, its full of obstacles; You can’t avoid it;
You have to face it, head on; It’s about taking the big hits;
And picking yourself up for the next phase; It’s about not taking the easy route
It’s all about having the strength to endure the hard one;
It’s about accepting that mistakes happen; That they prove that you try;
It’s about going under; About going over; Going around; Going through;
As long as you keep going; That’s how you build success;
That goes beyond 80-minutes.
That’s how you build a Legend.
Driven beyond pain;
Driven beyond obstacles;
Driven beyond the game;
Driven beyond today;
Driven beyond defeat;
#DrivenBeyond”
