Jeb Corliss recently was tapped by Lexus to introduce a new car for the 2016 year. Jeb spent 11 days in the Sydney and outlying areas filming this campaign which will be featured in Australia and beyond. All stunts were done for real and no CGI was used in the landing of the stunts. Jeb and Lexus are a natural partner as Jeb has been driving Lexus for almost a decade.
The campaign will include television spots, social campaign, mini doc/BTS and a virtual reality component that will definitely wow anyone using an Oculus Rift.
The commercials are set to premier November 22nd in the US and 23rd in Australia and the BTS launched today.

Tia Blanco surfed dominantly all week at the ISA World Jr’s to take the silver medal in the final. Her high scoring performances all week helped her team to secure the first ever Jr. gold medal for the USA Surf Team. In great Oceanside surf, Tia surfed hard all week and in the end missed the gold medal mark by a percentage of a point. Also the ISA World Surfing Games Gold medalist, Tia has had an amazing 2015 for Team USA. Should surfing make the Olympics in 2020, we expect to see Tia competing!
Great surfing Tia and congrats!
