The House of Rolls-Royce is a new communications platform, developed to bring to life the stories, the legacy and the vision that characterises this iconic brand. HS was commissioned to develop this exciting new initiative, defining a new visual language for Rolls-Royce.

Working closely with the RR brand team, Hingston created a series of four short films – each instalment presented a different chapter in the Rolls Royce story and its extraordinary world. From the inception of the The Spirit of Ecstasy – one of the most celebrated stories in motoring history, to the future brand vision and the exclusive showcase of 103EX concept model. Every chapter – historic, contemporary or future facing was told through a contemporary lens – defining an entirely new storytelling approach for the brand, thus allowing them to reach a new, younger audience.

Every chapter was conceived, written, designed and directed by Hingston.
