Inspired by the iconic journey that 136 teams make during March Madness, “Road 2” showcases that no matter how many times traveled, the roads to the championship games are never the same. The creative will play across a number of media, from TV commercials to social and onsite activations at both the women’s and men’s tournaments.

“With Road 2, we continue telling Nissan’s story of having one of the most thrilling, newest lineups in the industry,” said Allyson Witherspoon, vice president and chief marketing officer, Nissan U.S. “I’m also proud that Nissan is increasing our support of the Women’s tournament so that we can help enhance the experience for both student-athletes and fans of women’s basketball.”

Nissan uses the campaign’s creative elements to highlight the brand’s newest and most iconic models including the all-new, all-electric Nissan Ariya* crossover, Nissan Z**, Pathfinder, Frontier, Rogue and Altima.

In addition to the spots, Nissan is offering fans a range of digital and in-person experiences. Extras include an online bracket challenge in partnership with CBS Sports.
