LG’s New Campaign Leverages Music – the Universal Language – to Foster Deeper Connections and Expand the Life’s Good Promise in Digital Spaces

SEOUL, June 25, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) today launched a new brand campaign, “Radio Optimism,” designed to help strengthen meaningful human connections and spread optimism through shared musical experiences. This initiative aligns with LG’s brand promise, “Life’s Good,” and addresses the growing challenge of forming genuine relationships in a technology-driven world.

The Radio Optimism campaign seeks to counteract the disconnection often felt in an era dominated by superficial interactions, such as likes and comments on social media. By harnessing the power of music, LG aims to foster deeper bonds among individuals, promoting a more fulfilling life.

“As technology advances, meaningful human connections become increasingly vital to enrich our lives. LG continues its commitment to bringing optimism into customers’ daily lives, staying true to our enduring brand promise of ‘Life’s Good,’” said Kim Hyo-eun, head of LG’s Brand Management Division.

This campaign reinforces LG’s commitment to creating enriching experiences in digital spaces where today’s consumers spend significant time. Building on this mission, LG has continuously engaged with younger audiences through participatory campaigns that bring the Life’s Good philosophy to life. Last year’s “Optimism your feed” campaign leveraged social algorithms to foster positivity on social media. This new initiative specifically seeks to address the paradoxical disconnection in an era of hyper-connectivity.

“One of the most reliable predictors of happiness is having deep and meaningful relationships,” said Jean M. Twenge, Professor of Psychology at San Diego State University. “Yet today, many people are spending more time online and less time connecting in person. Social media in particular tends to create shallow relationships rather than the deep connections people need. It’s common for people to have hundreds of followers but no one to talk to in real life if they need support. We need to build more meaningful connections with those around us. That might turn around the pronounced decline in happiness that’s occurred over the last decade.”

A new global study^* from LG on social connection reveals that 68 percent of people find it harder to make real friends, and a third reported having one or fewer meaningful connections in the past month, with 8 percent experiencing none at all. Inspired by traditional radio’s unique way of connecting people through music and storytelling, the Radio Optimism campaign transforms this concept into an interactive platform where participants can create and send personalized songs to their loved ones. Users can easily create new songs using AI-powered tools, which are thoroughly trained on a curated music dataset. These tools interpret user prompts to produce unique musical pieces and generate matching album art, providing an engaging and personalized experience. Once generated, these songs can be sent to recipients to deepen their connection and made available for others to discover worldwide.

According to the survey, nearly 9 in 10 respondents believe that meaningful connections lead to a more optimistic outlook on life. By providing a platform for individuals to express their feelings, this campaign aims to foster deeper connections and help individuals enrich their lives while spreading optimism in their own ways.

·        Nissan hosts world premiere of the most powerful Patrol NISMO to date, alongside regional debut of the Z NISMO

·        ‘The Red Ring Society’ unveiled, celebrating motorsport legacy and the NISMO community spirit

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (25 June 2025) – At an exclusive event in Dubai, Nissan set hearts racing with the world premiere of the most powerful-ever Nissan Patrol NISMO, alongside the regional debut of the newest Nissan Z NISMO. The event marked a major milestone for the brand’s motorsport-driven NISMO line-up in the Middle East, revealing the thrill of NISMO (Nissan Motorsports International) to more than 250 guests including customers, partners, and motoring enthusiasts.

The launch event celebrated Nissan’s racing heritage and engineering expertise, underscoring a clear commitment to delivering high-performance, emotionally engaging vehicles designed with the region’s passionate drivers in mind.

The Red Ring Society was revealed as a first-of-its-kind gathering for Nissan NISMO owners and motorsport enthusiasts across the Middle East. Guests were immersed in themed experiences across curated zones – from heritage showcases of first-generation Patrol and Nissan Z NISMOs, to immersive lighting and a dramatic full-scale NISMO Ring installation, all designed to bring NISMO’s performance legacy and brand story to life.

Shedding light on Nissan’s long-standing journey in the region at the event, Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President & President – Middle East, KSA, CIS – Nissan & INFINITI, said: “Since the introduction of the NISMO brand to the Middle East in 2015, Nissan has proven its passion for performance and exclusivity. Today, the launch of the Nissan Patrol NISMO and Nissan Z NISMO is not just a response to growing customer demand, but a celebration of our rich motorsport legacy. This deep-rooted heritage that fuels our innovation allows us to deliver thrilling, confidence-inspiring driving experiences that resonate with enthusiasts across the region.”

Satoshi Komiya, Vice President, Nissan Motorsports & Customizing Co., and Chief Vehicle Engineer for Patrol NISMO, added: “With every Nissan NISMO model, we strive to deliver a vehicle that speaks directly to driving enthusiasts, merging our motorsport engineering with everyday usability. The Nissan Patrol NISMO and Nissan Z NISMO have been crafted with a deep respect for regional preferences, offering not just raw performance but also a heightened emotional connection to the road.”

Tuned specifically for Middle Eastern customers and launching a new benchmark in performance, the Nissan Patrol NISMO features a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 engine producing an incredible 495 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque in Sport mode – a significant increase of 70 horsepower versus the standard Patrol.

Additional enhancements include a NISMO-tuned suspension, race-inspired aerodynamics with an extended rear spoiler and 22-inch forged alloy wheels co-developed with RAYS, designed for improved lateral stiffness. Motorsport-grade details such as a Formula-E-inspired rear fog lamp, red-accented bodywork, and exclusive track-focused interior finishes complete the vehicle’s transformation.

In a stellar debut presented by Ahmed Awad, Director of Product Marketing for Nissan Middle East, KSA and CIS, the latest Nissan Z NISMO continues Nissan’s performance story with a NISMO-tuned 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine, producing 420 horsepower and 520 Nm of torque. Track-focused enhancements include a reinforced chassis, stiffer suspension, and GT-R-inspired aerodynamics, featuring a three-piece rear spoiler and an extended front fascia.

In true NISMO style, both nameplates feature the signature red “O” within the Nissan NISMO emblem and streaks across the lower body of every NISMO model – a visual embodiment of the brand’s “track to road” philosophy and full-circle performance engineering.

Rooted in nearly nine decades of motorsport excellence, NISMO has carried the brand’s racing legacy forward since its founding in 1984. From global circuits to regional roads, every NISMO vehicle embodies the transfer of racing knowledge – from aerodynamic innovation and stiffer chassis tuning to high-performance braking and precise handling.

The all-new Nissan Patrol NISMO is now available across Nissan’s authorized partner network in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the wider Middle East, with the all-new Nissan Z available in the UAE and roll out across other markets planned in the coming months
