Directed by Oscar-winner Joachim Back, the campaign is set to run across APAC, EMEA, the U.K., and LATAM throughout 2025.

In a statement exclusive to DesignRush, Alex Chang, co-chief producer from Paradox House Creative, shared his view of the fresh and exciting campaign:

“This campaign is an example of what can be achieved by diving deep into a brand operating in the B2B space, and utilising creative excellence to bring to life a visual identity befitting of a dynamic multinational organisation in Unlimit.
Strategically, the aim is to unlock new markets for Unlimit — with a focus on APAC and LATAM — so pairing the campaign with an international film star, executed by a world-class team, is a sure-fire way to increase brand affinity effectively.”

Meanwhile, Unlimit’s CEO and founder, Kirill Eves, emphasized that Liu’s international background and entrepreneurial mindset align perfectly with the company’s vision.

The campaign will be rolled out in multiple phases, including digital takeovers, social media activations, event advertising, and interactive social competitions.

An offline phase, set for Q2 2025, will further amplify Liu’s role as Unlimit’s Global Brand Ambassador.

By combining celebrity influence with a multi-channel marketing strategy, Unlimit maximizes brand visibility and engagement across key global markets.

No Borders with Unlimit

Unlimit’s ad opens with Liu reflecting on the importance of making the right choices — a challenge that business owners face every day.

He asks the question, “What if you were the owner of a finance company?

As he narrates, a business executive seamlessly navigates the Unlimit website to manage payments effortlessly.

“When you’re looking for the star of your movie, you need someone who can do it all. And when you’re looking for a payment provider, you need Unlimit.”

The commercial concludes with Unlimit positioned as the ultimate solution for borderless opportunity.
