Results and Effectiveness

Over five days, thousands of people had taken a ride with Louis, connecting them with the Chevrolet brand, increasing tonality and involving them through participation.

Creative Execution

We created a digital installation at Chevrolet’s stand, where augmented reality would actually let people meet, and even take a ride with Louis.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Objective Create hype around the Chevrolet stand at the 2011 Dubai International Motor Show. Challenge Being Chevrolet’s 100-year anniversary, it was a good opportunity for people to get in touch with Chevrolet’s history. Even though a lot of emphasis was on their new range and future models. Insight Louis Chevrolet, a racing driver-cum-business man, founded Chevrolet back in 1911. And we thought it'd be nice for people to interact with him.
