LONDON, Nov. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Vuse has partnered with award-winning band Rudimental on a series of

initiatives that promise to electrify creativity and inspire audiences

worldwide. The collaboration will feature a variety of activities which include

exclusive competitions, performances and an exciting content series.

The first Rudimental activation sees the band go on the hunt for inspiration

with McLaren Racing, of which Vuse is a global partner. Bringing together two

inspirational collaborators from the worlds of music and motorsport, Vuse wants

to connect and inspire others through celebrating its brand passions. The

Rudimental x McLaren Racing activation will be brought to life via a four-part

content series which will see Rudimental visit the home of McLaren in the UK

and meet key team members to discover inspiration for an exclusive performance

to mark the end of this year's Formula 1 season.

The Rudimental x McLaren Racing series takes us on a journey of teamwork and

collaboration. In Episode one Rudimental meet McLaren's Technical Director,

James Key focusing on the beating heart of the team; the car and its

performance. Episode two looks at the power of team spirit with McLaren CEO Zak

Brown and Executive Director of People and Culture, Daniel Gallo with Episode

three featuring Production Director, Piers Thynne, who believes that the right

environment plays a huge part when it comes to creativity and inspiration. And

finally, the series ends with an exclusive 45-minute DJ performance by

Rudimental that will be livestreamed over the 2020 Formula 1 season finale

weekend on December 11th on the brand's YouTube channel. Rudimental will take

the inspiration from their immersive McLaren experience in delivering an

electrifying performance.

Locksmith from Rudimental says, "We're all about inspiring and bringing people

together from all walks of life through the music we create. We had a lot of

fun and learnt a lot at McLaren and it's crazy to think how much synergy there

is with the world of music and sport when it comes to inspiration!"

The exclusive content is part of Vuse's 'Routes of Inspiration', a virtual

series that explores how inspiration comes to professionals within the creative

world. Following the cancellation of live entertainment events around the

world, the series has been created to give artists and fans a new way to

connect. In 2021, Vuse's partnership with Rudimental will continue to develop

through activations and performances that drive further inspiration and global

brand awareness.

"This special activation with Rudimental and McLaren is a big move for Vuse as

we look to Charge Beyond and connect with our adult consumers on a wider scale,

bringing together our partnerships across music and sport. With lockdowns still

happening across the world, and the creative sector struggling because of it,

we're glad that we can provide fans with a creative outlet where they can find

inspiration at home, along with enjoying an exclusive performance by

Rudimental!" says Elly Criticou, Vapour Category Director, BAT.

Mark Waller, Managing Director of Sales and Marketing, McLaren Racing said "It

was a pleasure to collaborate with Rudimental as part of Vuse's Routes of

Inspiration campaign. A top racing team needs speed, passion and innovation,

qualities that also create a successful global band. This campaign and our

partnership with Vuse continue to help fuel our commitment to innovation,

design and advanced technology; all of which together can bring electrifying

moments of inspiration."

Rudimental are a multi-award-winning British band, formed in 2010. The band

consists of members Piers Aggett, Amir Amor, Kesi Dryden and Locksmith. Over

the last 10 years, Rudimental have collaborated with the likes of Rita Ora, Ed
