How does one launch a hot new, crew-ready, 3-row Cadillac XT6 SUV?
If you’re New York-based creative agency, Rokkan, you turn to Marvel’s Avengers. In this case, the real heroes of the MCU, director and brother team, The Russo Brothers.
Signed by creative branded production company Bullitt for commercials, the power-house directors used their visionary storytelling to bring a twist that defines the XT6 Crew Ready campaign and further defines the bold new direction of the Cadillac brand.
The campaign is comprised of a dynamic series of films showing off the XT6’s spacious 3-row interior, sporty design and rich technology suite – cementing its status as the perfect SUV for every squad, fam, or posse.
In essence, XT6 Crew Ready is a celebration of size and style – performance and presence told through a cast of crews. They are both heroic and familiar –modern, tech-forward and cut from every cloth. Watch below:
That bombastic track, is called “Welcome To The Party.” Created by the musical artist Diplo, the track adds a commanding layer of energy to the films for a brand whose legacy in music is unmatched.

“Our team has continued to push the boundaries of what the world expects from a Cadillac, and this campaign continues that dynamic creative trajectory.” Said Brian Carley, CCO of Rokkan. “We set out to uproot the idea that a 3 row SUV has to be marketed in an expected and uniform way and The Russo Brothers were the perfect partners to do just that with Crew Ready.”
This new work is a prime example of Rokkan’s disruptive and culturally relevant approach as the 19 year-young creative shop does what it does best: push the boundaries with clients to make an impact—not just on their business, but on culture.
Note, there is no Thanos or Captain America in this spot, but the Reel 360 Team still likes it.
