O Hypercube é uma rede social online que serve para promover seu novo veículo, o arrojado Cube. Marcado para chegar no mercado só no mês que vêm, o automóvel já começou a engajar uma boa parte dos canadenses.

Desde meados de março, foram selecionados mil canadenses, entre DJs, programadores, designers, blogueiros, podcasters, escritores e artistas. Eles terão que competir, através da rede social Hypercube, para chegar na final que reunirá apenas 50 deles (os finalistas ganharão 1 Cube, cada um). Para concluir a competição, terão que mostrar o quão criativos são, e o quanto de suas personalidades se assemelham com a do Nissan Cube. Para isso, eles todos tem o simples objetivo de ir postando no Twitter, Facebook e na página oficial do Nissan Cube, fotos, vídeos e mensagens que retratam a criatividade de cada um.

Um mosaico no site da campanha mostra as mensagens e os links atualizados constantemente pelos participantes.

Uma campanha à altura da diferenciada proposta do novo automóvel japonês. O resultado oficial da competição será divulgado em maio.
