NIO ET9



NIO ET9 – Ushering a New Era of Innovation with Elegance

How do you introduce NIO's new flagship luxury electric vehicle to the world? How do you make it so the elegant innovation is the protagonist at all times?

NIO is one of the fastest growing EV companies in the world and they came to Tendril to help with one of their biggest launches yet: introducing the NIO ET9 at NIO Day 2023, their annual keynote. The films, dynamic visuals and stills showcase NIO’s innovative technology in a sophisticated and elevated way. Zero distractions.

The modular design also allowed for both flexibility and relevance in every touchpoint. From the main brand film, visuals for the keynote, and hundreds of moments for web and social, the end result was able to convey the purity, power, and elegance of NIO’s new flagship luxury car.
