A FOCUS ON YOUR LIFETIME // Client: Ford Italia / Agency: Blue Hive Rome //

We spend a great deal of our life in our cars. Bringing us everywhere with our experiences and emotions, they become a sort of companion of our stories. Many of which may be “universal”. Since 1998, Focus has been a top seller for Ford all across Europe. A leading and loved car that made a real and proud fan of each owner. How can we combine these two insights together and convert the launch of the new Focus 2014 into a real emotional event? Celebrating the most proud Focus owners, converting them into real brand’s advocates. Hence A FOCUS ON YOUR LIFETIME, a serialized online film, in which owners become screenwriters by sharing their stories, that were used as starting points to a new episode. The best and the most fascinating ones were produced within a few days from their selection and went online on a specifically created interactive website:

Finding your car keys can be very tricky sometimes, that's why Ford created Keyless Entry. In order to explain – in a funny way – how the Ford EcoSport’s Keyless Entry works, we created an interactive installation: Tweet To Strip. We placed a 2 x 1 meter video billboard in one central hall of Milano Porta Garibaldi railway station and our engagers invited passers-by to play with the character inside it. They were asked to guess where @EcoSportBoy kept his car keys, picking one option at a time and tweeting it, in order to make the boy strip of that garment, until the key were found. An AI twitterbot managed all the requests and 519 videoclips, arranged in some 50 combinations, to give each player a satisfactory gaming experience, even administering funny remarks if the requests were unsuitable. At the the end of each experience, the players were invited to pick up the keys, that were “handed” down by EcoSportBoy, in a small drawer on the billboard, and try their own way to test the Keyless Entry.

In the last few years, test drive became an important activity for all the automotive brands. But, maybe because of these extensive proposals, the test drive routine has been perceived as not really appealing. So, how can we give it a brand new flavour, converting it into a nice and funny experience that is really worth doing?

THE IDEA. We decided to invite people to discover a new ingredient in driving: taste. Hence TASTE ON THE ROAD - A test drive with gusto. An online tv format which shows people a different test drive experience, discovering the new Ford EcoSport.
