Hearst UK's luxury media brands, ELLE and Esquire UK, have partnered with Audi for a multi-platform campaign titled ‘Style with Meaning’. The campaign combines both magazines for the first time with a special 16-page flip print supplement, alongside bespoke digital and video content.

The partnership, which was planned and brokered by Omnicom Media Group’s PHD and DRUM, explores and celebrates the relationship between style and sustainability, with editors from ELLE and Esquire UK inviting trailblazing designers to create a conversation that excites, inspires, and prompts action for good. With a strong editorial voice, the campaign champions forward-thinking creatives from the fashion, automotive and bioengineering industries, and their innovative approaches behind the design, manufacturing and consumption processes in their respective fields.

As part of this fully 360 campaign, the dedicated print supplement is available in ELLE UK’s May issue, currently on-sale, and in Esquire’s Summer issue, on-sale on 12 May. The conversation is also amplified across the brands’ digital and social channels, with bespoke articles and video content that bring to life Audi’s commitment to sustainability with its e-tron GT electric vehicle.

The list of ground-breaking designers featured in the campaign includes:

Jane Wolfson, Chief Commercial Officer, Hearst UK says: “We are delighted to partner with Audi on its ‘Style with Meaning’ campaign, combining for the first time two of our iconic luxury brands, to produce a special print magazine, and bespoke digital content which explores the intersection of style and sustainability. Audi is a brand that makes an unmistakable design statement, giving it a natural synergy with Hearst UK’s highly engaged, style-conscious ELLE and Esquire UK audiences.”

Tony Moore, Head of Marketing, Audi UK says: “Progressive sustainable design is at the heart of everything we do at Audi and it is integral to our pursuit in shaping the future of premium mobility. Working with ELLE and Esquire, as well as like-minded designers from the fashion industry, in this media-first collaboration shows how important a topic this is and how innovation has no boundaries. This passion for progress is what unites us.”
